The measurement has no set end: it runs until you stop it. This is not a few-second test, it is a monitor. BOTH DIRECTIONS AT ONCE Download and upload have independent controls. With both directions on at the same time, download drops. That is the network in real use, not its capacity β€” to measure capacity, run one direction at a time. SEVERAL SERVERS, IN PARALLEL It measures against several servers at once. Your device picks which, by each one's latency before starting β€” and the number of servers grows while that keeps improving the rate. The screen shows how much each one is delivering. THE NUMBER SAYS WHERE IT CAME FROM The number comes from the shortest valid window, and the screen says which: 10 s, 1 min or 5 min. On a slow link the window has to be longer for the number to mean anything. YOU CHOOSE WHERE TO MEASURE Automatic or a specific country, with favourite servers that always take part. A MEASURED ZERO IS A MEASUREMENT A measured zero is a measurement, not an error. If the connection drops mid-run, the chart shows the zero and measuring continues: the drop is part of what is being measured. WHAT IT COSTS IS IN PLAIN SIGHT On mobile data this eats your allowance fast, because it does not stop on its own. The app asks before measuring off Wi-Fi, and the counter on each card shows what was measured. After each measurement a technical record is sent to improve the meter β€” with no account, no device identifier and no IP address of yours. Details in the privacy policy. No sign-up and no ads.

Read full description

Stecard keeps all your loyalty cards close at hand. At checkout, simply open the app, choose a card and show the code: two taps, maximum screen brightness and no more rummaging through your wallet. ADDING A CARD IS EASY β€’ Scan a barcode or QR code and Stecard will recognise it automatically. β€’ Take a photo of the card and let Stecard try to identify the store. β€’ Import a card from an image or PDF if you received it by email. If a screenshot contains several cards, Stecard detects them all and lets you choose which ones to keep. β€’ Prefer to enter the number yourself? You can do that too. β€’ Can't find the store in the list? Add it yourself and choose its name and colour. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS β€’ No account or sign-up required: just open the app and get started. β€’ Your card numbers, photos and notes are never sent to us. We don't have a server that collects them. β€’ Stecard works offline, so your codes are always available when you need them. β€’ No ads and no tracking. EVERYTHING YOU NEED β€’ Save photos of the front and back of each card, along with your own notes. β€’ Keep your most-used or favourite cards in a Home Screen widget. β€’ Find and open any card in seconds with Spotlight and Siri Shortcuts. β€’ Share a card with a link so the recipient can review it and save it to Stecard. β€’ Export and import your collection when you move to a new phone. β€’ Choose Light, Dark or Vinaccia, or match your phone's appearance. The app is available in English and Italian. ICLOUD BACKUP Stecard stores a copy of your cards, including photos and notes, in your own iCloud space. When you switch phones, you can restore them from there without creating an account and without sending your data through our servers. Your cards are also included in your phone's iCloud backup, along with your other data. Two diagnostic features are enabled when you first install the app, and neither includes any of your card data: crash reporting and a count of cards added, which contributes to a public total. You can turn either one off at any time under Settings β€Ί Diagnostic Data. Stecard is free, and every feature is available to everyone. If you'd like to support its development, you can buy the developer a coffee. It's an optional donation and doesn't unlock any additional features. Store logos are trademarks of their respective owners and are used solely to identify cards. Questions or support: supporto@stecard.it
