About this app

Pingmon (Ping test monitor) is ads-free graphical tool for measuring and monitoring the quality of the Internet or local networks, Wi-Fi and 3G/LTE. This latency monitoring visualizes and voices the ping command and measures the quality of a service (QoS) based on the statistics collected.

When is the ping monitor needed? If there is a suspicion of an unstable connection or episodic deterioration in the quality of the Internet.
For example, you run the test in the background and quickly understand if this is your or your subscriber’s problem when Zoom or Skype starts croaking and videos slow down from time to time.

How to convince your technical support that you have problems with the network, if games start lagging or YouTube jams from time to time? Usually, short Internet speed tests do not give an objective account of the net quality for extended periods. Check how stable the Internet is with this network test within the space of a few minutes or hours and send the log and statistics to the support.
All your tests are saved and will be available at any time.

Pingmon will allow you to check the channel up to your critical network resources, if any. You need to know the basic parameters of game servers (ping latency, jitter, lost) so that your game does not turn into torment. Ping monitor will calculate them and tell you how adequate this server is for the game.
For convenience, the floating ping window can be displayed directly over the game.
The graphical net test is more demonstrative and friendly than the ping command from the command line, as well as shows network statistics in real time. In addition to a graph, this net test will also show the estimated connection quality for games, internet telephony and video.
With the widget, you will always have the most recent network quality values in front of you.

Important: this ping monitoring does not replace programms for checking network bandwidth (Internet speed), but can be used in conjunction with them to fully assess the quality of the network.

Install a desktop widget if you want to monitor the server node at regular intervals.
You can resize the widget by adjusting how much information appears on the screen.

Test of net works equally well with WiFi, 4G, LAN and the Internet.
The app is free and contains no ads. Enjoy using it.

Permissions.
To display the type of connected network (for example 3G/LTE), the application will request permission to manage calls. You can reject this permission, the functionality of the application will remain, but the network type will not be displayed and logged.
In order for network monitoring to be performed in the background as long as you are using other applications, Pingmon requires the use of the foreground service (FGS) permission. For Android version 14 and above, you will be asked for permission to display a notification so that you can see the current network statistics or stop the service at any time.

Ratings and reviews

I am grateful to the producer of this app for not just for its features, but also making it free and without adds. It would be even better if the app could also keep the ping data for longer time and have an export to text capability. I mean, I would like to be able to save the stats and then process them in Excel to identify problem times during the day.

In principal it's an excellent app but has 3 serious shortcomings which let it down. # 1 You can't save or export the data. # 2 The data seems to rollover and write over existing data. EG if there's a 500 ping results when you scroll up the data starts at 300, these numbers aren't precise but rather to illustrate the problem #3 The graph does the same thing and rolls over the data with the previous data being lost. For short term immediate issues it's perfect but not for long term issues.

This app is exactly what I was looking for to monitor outages and Internet performance for my work. It's easy to understand and not too technical with a great user interface. The only suggestion I'd make is to have a tab where you could record your different tests and their respective outcomes to compare But a fantastic app...love it!
