Good Enough
Read full descriptionHide full description
The network at this cafe — is it good enough? Tap once. Ten seconds later you have a verdict. Great, Good, OK, Slow, or Very Slow, with per-activity guidance for video calls, cloud apps, streaming, and uploads. WiFi or cellular, whatever you're on. YOUR PERSONAL WORK-FROM-ANYWHERE MAP Save the places that pass. Skip the ones that don't. Over time you build a private map of the cafes, coworking spaces, and hotel lobbies you've actually tested. Leaving the house with your laptop? Open the app. The good spots are already there. The longer you use it, the better it gets at telling you where to go. GOOD ENOUGH IS FOR YOU IF — You take calls from places that aren't your desk — You've walked into a cafe and walked back out because the WiFi and cellular connection couldn't hold a call — You've given up on the WiFi and hotspotted off your phone for the rest of the afternoon — You've wished you'd written down which spot worked and which didn't NOT ANOTHER SPEED TEST Most speed tests give you a number. 247 Mbps. Cool — what does that mean? Can you take the call? Will Figma or Google Docs save? Or do you need to give up and switch to hotspot? Good Enough makes sense of the number, and remembers the spots worth coming back to. Built for remote workers, freelancers, and people who enjoy working from anywhere. WHAT'S INCLUDED — Unlimited connection checks on WiFi and cellular — Plain-English verdicts and per-activity guidance — Save up to 3 places — Check history with export BETTER ($2.99, ONE-TIME) For people whose list outgrew three spots a long time ago. — Save unlimited places — Home screen widgets — your map and your latest check, at a glance — Compare each check to your last visit — Share results WAY BETTER ($2.99/mo or $14.99/yr) The longer you use Good Enough, the more it learns. Patterns by spot, by time, by network. The slow hour at your favourite cafe. The cellular dead zone you keep forgetting about. — Pattern Intelligence — your places, surfaced through your own data — Trends across hours, days, and weeks — Side-by-side place comparison — Smart alerts for slowdowns, recoveries, and network switches — Cellular quality alerts (iOS 26) — Live monitoring during work sessions — Monthly report cards PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts. No tracking. Your checks, your places, your patterns — all stored locally on your phone. iCloud sync is optional, and only ever syncs to your other Apple devices. If you want to help others find good work spots, there's one opt-in setting that contributes anonymous test results — public venues only, no user identifiers, no exact location. Off by default. Your map is yours either way. Available for iPhone, iOS 18 or later. Some features require iOS 26. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula

PacketPuffin is a fast, beautiful internet speed test that respects your privacy. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Your results stay on your device. Tap once and see exactly what your connection is doing — download and upload speeds, ping, and jitter — with a clear read on whether it's fast enough for 4K streaming, video calls, and gaming. WHY PACKETPUFFIN - Truly private — no sign-up, no analytics, no data collection. Results are stored only on your device, and you can delete them anytime. - Honest results — real measurements built to handle everything from slow cellular to multi-gigabit Wi-Fi. - Beautiful and simple — a clean, modern design that makes your network easy to understand. MORE THAN JUST SPEED Every test also checks the health of your connection: - Router latency — how fast your own router responds - Internet latency — round-trip time to the wider internet - DNS lookup — how quickly names resolve - Packet loss — the dropped packets behind stutters and lag NETWORK TOOLS (PacketPuffin Pro) Go deeper with tools usually reserved for desktop apps: - Wi-Fi Scanner — see every device on your network, with names and makers, so you can spot anything that shouldn't be there - DNS Benchmark — find the fastest DNS resolver for where you are - Ping & Bufferbloat tests — measure latency under load, the thing that actually ruins calls and games - Full history and trends — track your speed over time and catch problems before they cost you PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most speed tests upload your results to a server and build a profile around your IP address. PacketPuffin doesn't. Your results are never uploaded — each test is written to your device and nowhere else, and you can delete them anytime. Tests work by exchanging meaningless random data with PacketPuffin's own test endpoints, which count the bytes and throw them away. No account, no analytics, no profile. PACKETPUFFIN PRO — PRICING - Pro Monthly — $1.99 per month - Pro Annual — $14.99 per year - Pro Lifetime — $39.99, a one-time purchase (not a subscription) Subscriptions renew automatically at the price above unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
