Stack it next to your weather or calendar widget. β€’ Beautiful history Your five most recent tests, with swipe-to-delete, your fastest-ever download/upload, and your average ping. β€’ Built for iPad Adaptive layout that uses the extra room on iPad and large screens β€” not just a stretched iPhone view. β€’ Liquid Glass design Calm, modern, and respectful of light and dark mode.
