Ratings and reviews

Extremely weird. I downloaded this while looking for a self-hosted speed test application. I didn't want any HTML5/browser based tests, so this looked promising, even though it used public servers. But on startup, this thing IMMEDIATELY starts scanning network (even if just connected by LTE) and if you open speed test page while it's doing this "scan" the app just crashes. Extremely unstable. Also, extremely annoying that it auto-scans. I want to be able to set startup page to a specific one.

This app is excellent for doing network testing. I used it to prove that I was connected to the AT&T cell network, had an internal IP, gateway address, and DNS addresses assigned to me, could talk to the dns servers on port 53 but AT&T is arbitrarily blocking my internet connection because they consider my device as unsupported. Without this app it would have been a lot harder to do this type of troubleshooting on a non-rooted android device. An FCC complaint against AT&T is now open for this.

The UI hangs when the network fails to respond, or when the network is switched to a different one. Given that my use case (and presumably the use case of many others) for this app is to diagnose network issues, this makes it highly unreliable, if not outright useless, as it needs constant force-stopping to make it work. Besides this, it's a great app, hence still three stars, but unfortunately this issue is a major one.
