Speedtest by Ookla

G. Sturges

Something wrong with this app in the past 48 hours. Suddenly the app is unable to recognize or find servers when device is connected by Wi-Fi. When a mobile phone is connected to pay data the speed test works fine but when the same device is switched over to Wi-Fi the app cannot find a server. Just the Little Wheel spinning endlessly. This sudden loss of function in the app is the same across several different Android devices so it is definitely not a hardware issue here.

The app is great as i'm close to one of the testing sites, so i get accurate readings. But when i go to use the VPN it automatically crashes the app. I don't know if this is just an issue with my phone(stylo 4) or if this is something that can be fixed with an update, but the vpn was one of my main reasons of downloading this app. If it can be fixed or if it does start working ill up the rating

When the screen changed along with the other associated changes with the update you destroyed this app. It was perfect a year-and-a-half ago or so. What a shame it was the only good one. wish I could go back or I could uninstall an update or two but you don't give me that option. very disappointed. Uninstalled. thank you for the years it did work right. RAY

It has ads but they have to get money somehow and either way, they dont really bother or get in the way of the speed test. I have been using this app for years now measuring my speeds and it has the availability of different servers in different locations. It's really not bad, I trust this app more than open signal and any other 3rd party speed test. The UI is pretty sleek too.

Only one complaint, for some odd reason it doesn't give my correct location. It picks a server in Las Vegas and says I'm only 135 miles away when I'm actually 1,000 miles away. It use to pick it up right but one day i got on and was going to test my connection and every since then it hasn't done right. I've uninstalled and everything but still no luck, even factory reset my phone still same issue. Other than that it's an awesome app, very accurate speed wise, not location wise.

Paid version is great. I've used this app for years. It's very reliable and easy to use. For only $.99 all ads are removed, which is totally worth it. They were a bit much and all those ads affect your results. Also, with the paid version, I can install it on ALL my devices ad-free, even when I get a new one. I recommend this app for its simple features and accuracy. Wish it was available for family library.

I have had this app installed on various phones of mine for several years and I've always been happy with it until recently. Lately, I get an error message before the test completes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, rebooted the phone and, e-mailed the developer several times with no response. I used to think this was the best Speedtest that you could get online. Unless we start getting support from the developer and they rectify the problem, I will have no choice but to uninstall this app, permanently. Lowering its rating from 5 to 2 stars, as well. The developer invites enquiries to date has not responded to several of my concerns reference this matter. Update: I reinstalled this app today, 10/18/2018 and was pleasantly surprised: it actually works, again. This is good but it would have been nice to have received a response from the developer to my numerous inquiries regarding the issues I had been experiencing. So, I am increasing the rating from 2 to 4 stars. If this excellent performance holds up for the next couple of weeks I will give it a full 5 stars, again.

if you want a good tool to use to test wifi strength or mobile data signals, then this is the go to app to have on your devices. They add new features and keep updated frequently, pretty accurate, has a log book of your previous tests, and looks good. Thankfully the mobile version doesn't have ad's all over the screen like the desktop version (you still get an ad after running the test that pops up though)

Inexcusable bug whereby the data transferred is not scaled based on the connection being Wi-Fi or cellular. It's fine to transfer 1GB over Wi-Fi. When I tested cellular, getting great speeds, but my data alarm went off immidiately. I burned through half my monthly data allowance in 15 seconds. Closing the app kept the data connection in the background. Had to swipe terminate the app to get it to stop. Unacceptable. Uninstalled.
