seems lightweight and quick to assess download speeds... but... light grey type on white background? sometimes it shows a 'more info' option with upload speed and latency, but not always, and no clear way to access this. saw a settings function once or twice (again erratically shown), but it didn't seem to offer much. these disappearing options are abit confusing!

Does one thing very well, a one-time only instantaneous snapshot of speed that isn't gamed by the ISP's. But... The app strangely lacks the website's ability to always test and show all parameters. A snapshot is of very limited use as connections need to be tested over a period of days or weeks to get a cohesive picture. So it desperately needs a simple log with time-stamped results at the very least. Automated testing would be a nice to have. Would be 6 stars with this small improvement.

Works well. Good to know that Netflix is not throttled, on either home internet or mobile. Just one thing.. when testing mobile internet, since I'm on LTE+ with a recent flagship phone, it tested around 160MB/s, which is pretty fast, but it meant that it used up 500M of data. Would have been nice to have a bit of warning about that!
