EasyPinger is a tiny little app that was designed to be the easiest way to check your device's connectivity status. Just open it up whenever in doubt to see if your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection behaves correctly – it will refresh connectivity status every time you open it, also regularly while open, or if you just tap the screen. EasyPinger uses the same old Ping/ICMP to check connectivity with a server that is assumed to be always available, but simplifies the process by requiring no extra actions from you to perform a simple connection test.
AreaCoder
This utility app helps you quickly and accurately add area codes to your local phone numbers. It's designed to simplify dialing when 10-digit requirements are implemented or when you need to prefix numbers with +1 for US dialing.
- Add area codes to local numbers
- Prefix numbers with +1
- Accurate and fast processing
- Saves finger strain
- Visual examples provided
