Is it the internet? When your apps stop working, Got Internet? gives you the answer in seconds. Tap once. Get a clear verdict: Online, Slow, Offline — or Sign In when a hotel or coffee-shop network is waiting for you to log in. Not a speed test. No 30-second wait, no megabits, no charts. Just the one thing you actually want to know: is my connection working? HOW IT WORKS One tap runs several independent checks at once: • Reaches multiple servers across different global providers • Detects captive portals — the login pages on hotel, airport, and café Wi-Fi • Tells "no connection" apart from "connected but broken" All in under three seconds. WHY NOT A SPEED TEST? Speed tests answer "how fast?" — a long measurement you rarely need. Got Internet? answers "is it working?" — the question you actually have when a page won't load. PRIVACY This app collects no data. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The checks are ordinary web requests, indistinguishable from loading a page in your browser. SIMPLE ON PURPOSE One screen. One tap. One answer.
