Ratings and reviews

It is small and simple, gives a number for upload and download speed on my Androud Notification screen. If I want that in context just click on that and it opens the App to show the graph of the last five minutes or one minute. This allows me to find the right table in the library for good internet and HotSpoting my laptop.

Great network speed meter with design UI look like Networx or NetMeter programs in MS Windows platforms. The only bug I found, It has a problem with Android 8.1.0 and when I turn on Usage Permission for it. If I turn above permission, app will crash. I sent an email to them but I did not get any response or new release from them!? Anyway, apart from above bug, it do its job very well and graph UI is good as my programs on Windows systems. So 4 of 5 🌟 to this app.

Been using this app for years on consecutive devices and it is working quite well (it's light and it's working). Despite one thing - I believe I had bought an ad-free option on my older device (at least I tried and it charged my account), thus it is showing ads on my current (newer) device. How to get rid of ads? Please, help
