Excellent speed testing app that offers scheduled testing, bandwidth limits on testing, and a nice history of testing. Also reports speeds to the FCC so they don't have to take cell providers at their word on speeds. Main downside I can see is that it thinks 5G is 4G, but other than UI issue it's great.

Works great! I just wish they didn't remove the feature that put your tests on a map. It was very interesting to see the map and how data speeds varied by location, using your own data. Please bring that back!

This is a wonky terribly designed app. Not sure if the data is correct & how it's being used. I don't have unlimited data, so I'm uninstalling this. Wanted to help the FCC out to keep internet providers & phone companies honest. I really don't see this app doing anything. No real incentive for the user to keep this on phone. Bad design. Bad explanation of app. Uninstalling it.

There needs to be options to transmit the data automatically or manually. The data is collected, but it is not clear what the user should do with the data! Needs to be clarified! The app is very efficient in collecting the data. Transmitting needs to be efficient too! Thank you.

As others have said, something changed and now it runs and never ends. On android, I get on notification that it completed, and then another showing the Upload test is running and it never finishes. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, as clearly it's affecting a lot of people.

New update is worse then original. My internet provider doesn't consistently provide the speed and quality, and previous version app had charts, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly averages. This new update is harder to use and no data of averages. Deleting.

Runs tests all the time, which is nice to keep my cell phone company in check. With the last update though, it keeps a notification saying it's running tests. It never goes away, even after it finishes a test. I have to restart my phone in order to get it to clear the notification.

Beware of background tests. This app runs background tests, so be sure to disable those options in settings if you are concerned about data usage. To the developers, this background feature seems superfluous. Please do away with it; or at the very least, disable it by default.

Dropping this to two stars. The concept of fantastic but the execution is not great. The app does a great job running but then gets stuck in my notification section showing that's it's still running. I always have to force stop it.

App works as intended. Even has extra features. Would recommend this app to anyone especially if they are trying to prove that they're provider isn't giving them the proper service.

The app apparently wants constant location information. I allowed it location only while app in use, but the app thinks it has no access to location information even while I'm trying to use the app? Please fix this and I will change my rating.

Worked great...super easy to use. The app also includes the informed feedback and explanations that you need for your device's performance. Great job Developers!

I find it odd there is No option for Cellular Only Tests! I am also amazed how my LTE Signal Increases during test!?!

A good unbiased speed test app. Please add the option to have periodic testing once a week and once a month. I think this will give more buy-in to that function.

Can't use the app. The user agreement page will not scroll on my Samsung Galaxy A20, so I can not get to the accept button, and can't use it to test my phone's internet speed. Uninstalling

Weird. I have 300mbps down and 20 up from rcn. Tested back to back multiple times on this app and speed test app and it was SIGNIFICANTLY slower on this. 20-30 Mbps on this app whereas speed test showed 300 Mbps. Nice app overall though.

This used to be an excellent reporting tool for the FCC, but it now fails uploads and downloads... These are False occurrences as my internet is working fine.

Well, Google tracks you, so why not let the government? No thanks. That's what this app really is. It collects data, location and more. Brilliant disguise though.
