iPerf is a commonly used network testing and performance measurement tool. This app is intended for those who are familiar with the use of iPerf. For details and a tutorial, see my website. This app will not be useful unless you have a second phone or computer to use as an iPerf client/server.
Great for testing Wifi!

Excellent bandwith test tool iperf is THE bandwith test tool there is and now there is a good android version. Very nice! Got 60Mbit on a SGS3 over 5.0Ghz. Client works, Server works, duplex test works, setting time duration works. Tested on Galaxy S2 and S3 and on a Asus Transformer all working. Only issue I encountered was a screen update issue that sometimes some text would fail to appear. Further then that, perfect.

Great app, but please add an option to block cellular data Used this to test wifi transfer rates. Works just as expected. Needs an option to prevent the app from transmitting on cellular data though as in just a few minutes it had used up 500MB (1/4 of my monthly data plan) as it continued transmitting after wifi dropped.

Help or Options button Will be great if you add easy accesible help or options button. Pre-defined commands or macros or something like last used iperf server will be usefull too. I'm boring ecery time entering simmilar information for quick speed test specialy on the field

Great port to Android!! Works well on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running ICS. It tops out at ~20Mbps. Could be limitation of my wifi router because a laptop does the same. Only complaint is that when testing with -r option the second test stops after just 2 seconds. I've seen this happen on PCs as well, so no strikes against this app.

No issues Does exactly what you'd expect it to do. My only complaint is that there's nowhere that mentions it's iperf2 (not iperf3); not difficult to figure out though.

V.good I use iperf a lot, so this was a nice find. Doesn't seem to play well with iPerf3 on my Linux box at home, but works really well with iperf-2.0.5, which is what i have installed on most of my servers anyway.

iPerf from my A/V gear? Yes please! If you know iPerf and use it regularly, you'll love this handy little app on your A/V system. I use it regularly to check out my HSI's performance. And hell, you get big nerd points when guests see the output running on your HDTV.
WHY ARE YOU TRACKING ME There is no reason for this app to need access to the GPS. Why is this app tracking my location and why is there nothing about this anywhere in the description or on your website?? Rating will go higher when this permission requirement is explained. Thankfully there are apps to block these kinds of abuses like AppOps and Permission Denied.
Works perfectly! Installed Jperf 2.0.2 on Windows 10 laptop. Connected laptop to router and disabled WiFi. Use UDP option to avoid TCP window size issues. Measured 80Mbps downlink speed on phone using Xfiniti router.
This is a great app, but it appears 7.0 breaks it. I can't give it a bad rating get for an OS change. Worked awesome on earlier v Android versions. Hopefully it can be updated. Thnx 😉
Client mode the -r command will not work It all seems to work well except for the -r command which is supposed to allow bidirectional testing. It works in server mode but not client
Nice - it works! I can finally see how fast Wireless AC is on my phone... 450Mbit/s sounds good. I'd buy a pro version to support - especially if it had the new lollipop UK :) A list of last servers, as well as checkboxes for usual parameters would be nice.
Works, but doesn't display results consistently I ran this on a slew of android devices and it almost never shows the results for the test. It shows titles for the columns where it should display the results but nothing underneath. I had to look at the server's output to see my results.
Great little app you need to know iperf. I'm sure someone who cared to could put together a more noob friendly interface, but for my purposes it works like a charm (didn't work on Nexus Player, but I blame Google/Asus for that since the device was so utterly useless in every other way!)
Works perfectly But the "i" in "iperf" has nothing to do with the Apple naming convention and as such the case should follow normal rules, e.g. "Iperf for Android"
It's so good Pinch me I must be dreaming. I can't believe how easy it is to run traffic with this app. Praise be!!!
Screen rotation problem When traffic runs, If the device is kept in screen rotation, then if we toggle from portrait view to normal mode or vice versa....traffic stops. This is a major problem when I gotta run multiple devices in my IOT setup.
not able to use fqdn hostname; -r parameter doesn't work (-d works ok) Stupid app makes you pull your hair out wtf'ing until you try using plain IP instead
This is great app. I am using this for Throughput monitoring. I am trying to launch this app from ADB but I am getting only GUI not actually running iperf. Can you please help me to get commands to run from adb? Regards, Venkatesh
Some annoying bugs - If the phone changes orientation, portrait or landscape, it clears the screen. - Sometimes the last line of the results don't show, which is the most important. Other than that, it's ok
Basically works Does what it needs to do, don't know why it requires one's location though...
Doesn't work on Nexus Player. Even though it will install and run, trying to enter command line args just crashes the app.
Output problems Console output is sometimes incomplete. The speeds are not always displayed.
Ugly text display that frequently drops parts of the output from the iperf program. App provides no help with setting up the options for iperf.
A very poor interface to command line app Messes up output, clips columns, makes a fairly easy command line tool much harder.
Awesome Works as advertised speed testing wireless link from LG viper to Ubuntu home server. Some CLI experience required.
No good on note and lg gpad Connects to server but produces no results
No iperf3 Not compatible with iperf3; returns null response. Menu::Preferences simply activates the "command line" entry instead of providing a preferences screen. Why is that option there?
cant launch it i cant launch it via the button or type `enter` key my environ is a samsung galaxy note N7102 with android 4.2
Nice Utility Nice tool, would like to see some updates though.
works great works great on my nexus 7 tablet and moto g phone. Would like to see it also support iperf3. thanks.
Perfect The vanilla iperf. Always needed it for my phone.
Perfect Iperf on your droid. Nothing more, nothing less.
excellent assuming you know the CLI options to iperf, you will find this app very useful.
Would be great if it supported iperf3, in this state it's useless to me
Excellent utilty, easy to use, just put in your command and ON Works as described, nice tool
Application automatically closed after click off Device ASUS tablet k016 sndroid lolipop
Full command available Great implementation that provides the familiar output and full access to all command parameters
