Ratings and reviews

UI change of new version 2.0.2208 is really poor Instead of previous car dashboard style meter speed display, new UI change now only displays speed in digits. The digits are small. Not that intuitive as old UI. Even worse is the "Result" page, which should act as a summary list of "results" (most important results are download and upload speeds), now only a summary of "testing ID". Don't sacrifice UI for additional data Jitter and package loss % which are less referenced by most users.

The upload speedtest always failed when the bandwidth is limited at 4Mbps in the latest version, but the speetest are normal in the 2.0.2208, 2.0.2246, 2.0.2276 and 2.0.4069 version. Please fix the problem. I also tested 2.1.4736 but failed. The problem is same as the lastest version 2.1.4871. The same app in iOS is no problem. Please fix the app for Android.
