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.

Date: 2020 Jul 25, Time: 11:30pm. Speed incredibly slow. Made me check my network thoroughly to try and fix the "problem". Turned out it is a problem with your testing app. Other speed test sites report normal speed. Tried accessing a big file at a local site in HK, no issues. Your app shows 0.06 Mbps download speed. Uninstalling. Just because you wasted my time troubleshooting for nothing.

Keeps telling me an updated version is available and to update. But, I already have the latest version. At this point in time, the app is not working.
