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

App seems to work fine. However, some features are restricted to the premium version, but neither the app nor the Play Store show me any information about the price. Supplement: Bought it. As of 2024-06-12 the price was €3,49 in Germany. But I still think you should make sure the price is visible somwehere, or it will deter potential buyers.

I'll definitely buy premium if you add either SMTP or POST request to provided end point for app events such as PING lost or connection resume etc. Its very easy to add this but has very high weightage. I hope you will soon add requested features. Update: No server-side is required. Just execute a HTTP POST on user provided url. Simple. Share your contact I will provide you codes and more details voluntarily. I'm a developer too.

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.
