About

Fry WiFi

Features
Read full description

Fry WiFi helps you understand why a connection feels slow, unstable, or just wrong. Instead of showing only a speed number, it checks the parts of the path your iPhone or iPad can measure and turns them into a clear diagnosis. Use it when a video call breaks up, a game starts lagging, streaming buffers, or public Wi-Fi opens a login page instead of the site you wanted. WHAT FRY WIFI CHECKS • Router and gateway: local latency, jitter, and packet loss. • DNS: whether website lookups are slowing browsing down. • Internet path: whether the wider connection looks healthy. • Speed: adaptive download and upload tests from small probes up to larger runs on fast networks. • Captive portals: warnings when Wi-Fi appears to intercept web traffic. WHY IT'S USEFUL • Quality tiles for Browsing, Streaming, and Cloud Gaming. • Plain-language status, details, and next steps. • Issue history so repeated problems are easier to spot. • Public IPv4 display with one-tap copy. • Shareable Wi-Fi status card for messages, support chats, or social posts. • Optional diagnostics export when you need the raw report. PRIVACY Fry WiFi has no tracking and no third-party analytics SDKs. Measurements are stored locally for app features. Location permission is used only to read the current Wi-Fi network name when iOS allows it; your location is not stored or shared. iOS NOTE iOS does not expose Wi-Fi signal strength, channel, BSSID, or interference data to regular App Store apps. Fry WiFi for iPhone and iPad focuses on what iOS can measure: router reachability, DNS, internet path quality, captive portals, and throughput. Sampling runs while the app is open. Stop guessing. Share a clear connection diagnosis from your iPhone or iPad.

About

World by SOBE

World by SOBE is a private VPN in one tap: a secure, encrypted connection to our own servers in the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Israel and the USA, run by SOBE OÜ, a company in Estonia (EU). • One tap to connect. If your network blocks VPNs, World switches protocol by itself, and “Not connecting?” finds what is wrong. • No logs: we do not record the sites you visit, DNS queries or your IP address. No third-party analytics. We keep only your email or account number, your purchases and your devices. • Sign in with Apple or with your email, or stay anonymous: a 16-digit account number instead of an email. • Allowed list: banks and services from home that refuse foreign addresses open directly, everything else stays in the VPN. • One account on up to 3 devices: iPhone, iPad and Mac. A remote and a complication on Apple Watch, the connection in the Dynamic Island, widgets and themes in your style. The app creates a protected VPN connection to servers operated by SOBE OÜ (Sobe Invest). With an Apple or email account, choose a plan in the app: monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or lifetime access for one payment; a new account can try World for an hour first. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. With an account number, buy 30 days or a year of access: you pay once and nothing renews. You can delete your account at any time in the app's Settings.
