iPerf Falcon
Read full descriptionHide full description
iPerf Falcon turns professional network throughput measurement into a clear, approachable native app. Check Wi-Fi coverage, LAN wiring, routers, NAS devices, servers, or home broadband—and use real measurements to find the bottleneck. This is not a conventional speed test tied to someone else's server. Connect to an endpoint you choose, let this device listen, or automate the full test path over SSH. You control both the target and the test. Three ways to get started Connect • Enter any iPerf host and port, or choose from 8 free public servers • Check port reachability with one tap; Falcon Pro can also save and pin frequent targets Listen • Turn your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into an iPerf server • Listen on all interfaces or choose an IPv4 address from Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, or VPN • See exactly which address and port the other device should use • Start once and accept multiple client connections continuously, with each session saved separately until you stop listening SSH (Falcon Pro) • Connect to OpenWrt, Linux, or another SSH device; start the iPerf server, run the test, and clean up automatically • Authenticate with a password, an OpenSSH private key, or no credential on a lab device configured to allow it • Run the server remotely, or listen locally and have the SSH endpoint connect back Professional measurement without the friction • Both iPerf3 and iPerf2 engines, switchable in one place • TCP and UDP with upload, download, and bidirectional modes • A graphical form for direction, protocol, duration, parallel streams, bitrate, and more • A live speed gauge and throughput chart—tap the chart to inspect any moment • Separate upload and download speeds, charts, and metrics for bidirectional tests • Live Ping, TCP RTT, retransmissions, UDP jitter, and packet loss • Raw iPerf output whenever you need it, plus a searchable parameter and command reference Keep the results that matter • Save every run automatically, or keep only the tests you choose • Add notes, search instantly, and rerun with the same configuration • Export individual results as CSV or JSON, or create a shareable result card Falcon Pro One purchase unlocks these features on iPhone, iPad, and Mac: • SSH remote orchestration • Advanced graphical options and iPerf command-line configuration—paste a command to parse and synchronize the graphical form, then save complete commands for quick reuse • Five built-in scenarios for VoIP, 4K streaming, gaming, NAS backup, and Wi-Fi roaming, plus custom presets • Saved targets and SSH endpoints • Charts and metric comparisons for up to 6 runs, plus batch history export Designed for Apple devices Falcon stays focused on iPhone, while iPad landscape and Mac use a two-column layout that keeps parameters and results visible together. Light and dark appearances are supported, along with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, and Russian. Privacy first No account is required, and there are no ads or analytics trackers. Test history stays on your device. SSH passwords and private keys are stored only in the system Keychain. Falcon connects only to test targets you choose.
LowPing

Is it the Wi-Fi, or is it the internet? LowPing helps you find out. LowPing measures your ping. It does not lower it. Nothing on a phone can. But once you can see the problem, you can fix the right thing. Type in any address (google.com, your router, your game server), tap Ping, and watch real ICMP replies arrive live. The same protocol the classic ping tool has used since 1983, not a web request pretending to be a ping. WHAT YOU GET - Live results: every reply the moment it lands, with round-trip time, TTL and timestamp. Timeouts shown for what they are. Late replies marked honestly. - Statistics that always add up: Sent equals Received plus Waiting plus Lost. Loss percent uses the classic ping formula, counted only over resolved probes. - Real ICMP over IPv4 and IPv6, sent with Apple's own networking APIs. - Tunable like the real tool: interval, timeout, TTL and payload size. - Color-coded latency so a glance tells you healthy from hurting. - Native SwiftUI, dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type throughout. WHAT LOWPING DOES NOT DO LowPing does not route, modify, or optimize your traffic. It is a measuring instrument. Once you know whether the problem is your Wi-Fi, your router, or somewhere past your provider, you can fix the right thing. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party code. LowPing has no server, so there is nowhere for your data to go. The only thing it ever sends are the ping packets you ask for. Free, with no in-app purchases. Built by a network admin who wanted the ping tool iOS never shipped. LowPing requests no system permissions. Nothing to grant, nothing to configure.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LowPing at none against iPerf Falcon's 1. iPerf Falcon's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
