## Description

Internet Speed Monitor displays real-time upload and download speeds in a lightweight, battery-friendly overlay that works while you use other apps. The always-visible display helps you monitor bandwidth during video calls, streaming, downloads, or when using a mobile hotspot — without switching away from your current app.

Customize position, size, color, transparency, update intervals and measurement units, and control auto-start and pause from the notification panel. The free version offers continuous speed readings, WiFi and mobile data detection, and minimal battery use. The PRO upgrade removes ads and adds app-level network usage identification. Compatible with Android 5.0+ and VPN environments; the app only processes speed metrics and does not access your communications to protect your privacy.

## Review summary

Users praise Internet Speed Monitor for its long-term usefulness and reliable core functionality, along with ongoing maintenance. However, privacy concerns over location/SSID permissions and stability issues on certain devices/ROMs (crashes, monitoring not starting) are common. Real-time/overlay monitoring reliability is also inconsistent on some setups. Overall, it remains a favored lightweight tool for long-time users, but device-specific quirks and permission friction can affect reliability. Improvements in permissions handling and cross-device stability would broaden its appeal.

### Pros

- Long-term reliability and usefulness across years and multiple device upgrades.
- Core functionality works as advertised and remains simple and stable.
- Ongoing developer support and updates to keep it compatible with OS changes.

### Cons

- Privacy and permission concerns: the app requests location and SSID-related permissions, which raises privacy worries.
- Stability and compatibility issues on certain devices/ROMs, including crashes or monitoring not starting on some phones.
- Real-time/overlay monitoring can be unreliable on some devices, leading to intermittent usability.
