Thinking of buying a used Phone? Don't guess โ PhoneVet runs a full hardware diagnostic in minutes so you know exactly what you're getting before you hand over your money. Completely free, no account required, and no data collected. Open the app, run the tests, check the results. 12 HARDWARE TESTS BATTERY See the exact battery percentage, charging state, and whether Low Power Mode is secretly hiding a degraded battery. A manual tip is included to check Battery Health % in Settings. CAMERA Live front and rear camera preview. Check for blurry images, dead pixels, scratched lenses, and slow autofocus. MICROPHONE & SPEAKER Records a short audio clip and plays it back through the bottom speaker. Instantly reveals muffled mics or crackly speakers. EARPIECE SPEAKER Routes audio through the top earpiece โ the small speaker used during phone calls. Broken earpieces are one of the most common issues after unofficial screen repairs. SENSORS Live readings from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. A broken gyroscope affects gaming, AR apps, and auto-rotate. A dead compass breaks Apple Maps navigation. HAPTICS Fires 7 different Taptic Engine patterns from light tap to error buzz. If none of them vibrate, the Taptic Engine is disconnected or broken. FLASHLIGHT Toggles the rear LED torch on and off. Instant confirmation that the torch LED is alive and stays on reliably. PROXIMITY SENSOR Step-by-step guide to test the face sensor that turns your screen off during calls. A broken sensor means the screen stays on every call, draining battery fast. BAROMETER Reads the atmospheric pressure sensor used by Weather, Maps, and fitness apps for floor detection and altitude tracking. NETWORK Checks Wi-Fi connection type, internet reachability, and your local IP address. Includes a checklist to manually verify cellular signal and Bluetooth. DEVICE INFO Shows the exact Phone model name, iOS version, RAM, and full storage breakdown. Flags nearly-full storage and outdated iOS versions. FACE ID / TOUCH ID Checks whether biometric hardware is present and enrolled, then triggers a live Face ID or Touch ID prompt to confirm it actually works.

aMule Remote

aMule Remote is a remote control for your aMule server (amuled) running on a NAS, Raspberry Pi, Unraid or any home computer. It connects over the EC (External Connections) protocol, the same one used by aMuleGUI, so you can manage everything from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro or Apple TV. MAIN FEATURES - Transfers: download queue with progress, speed, sources and ETA; pause, resume, stop, priority, categories and delete, also in multi-selection. - Tabbed search: local and global (server), with filters for type, extension and size. Several searches at once, each in its own tab. - Servers: list with users, files and ping; connect with a tap, add and remove, update the list, eD2k and Kad network control. - Server statistics and log in real time. - Offline mode: after the idle period, or when the app goes to the background, the connection is closed to save battery and data, but the last data stays on screen and the connection resumes by itself at the first tap or when you come back. - iCloud sync (optional): your server profiles and their passwords follow you on every device, through your own iCloud account and iCloud Keychain. - Quick actions: long-press the app icon (pause all, resume all, add a link, search); on the Mac the same actions live in the Dock menu and in the Transfers menu. - Notifications: download started and completed, aMule server unreachable or reachable again, connection lost, eD2k/Kad drops and reconnections. Nothing to configure in the app: how you receive them is decided in the system Settings. On iPhone they also reach your Apple Watch. - Apple Watch app: speeds, network status and download queue at a glance. - Apple TV app: transfers, search, servers and statistics on the big screen, driven by the Siri Remote (Play/Pause pauses or resumes the highlighted download); type with the iPhone keyboard or dictate with Siri. - Siri and Shortcuts on every platform: status, download and upload speed, queued downloads, status/pause/resume/priority of a single download, add eD2k links, search files, eD2k and Kad control. - Clipboard: paste several eD2k links at once (or any text that contains them) and share a download's eD2k link to Notes, Messages or Mail. - Guided introduction at the first launch, with restore of your server profiles from the iCloud backup. - Server profiles, light/dark theme, 7 app colors that tint the whole interface, Face ID / Touch ID lock, 7 languages. - On the Mac: full remote editor of the aMule preferences (bandwidth, ports, servers, files, security, folders) and the shared files list. aMule Remote does NOT download files to your device and contains no catalog of content: it is simply a control panel for YOUR aMule server. It collects no personal data; the server address and password stay on your device, in the Keychain (or in your own iCloud account if you turn sync on). Free software under the MIT license. Try it right away with the built-in demo mode, no server needed. Requires an amuled server with External Connections enabled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: aMule Remote at 6 against PhoneVet's 2. PhoneVet's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
