User Reviews

Users appreciate GFXBench Benchmark for its comprehensive testing across various devices and its offscreen tests for fair comparisons. However, multiple users report substantial frustrations such as mandatory large data downloads without clear explanations, required account sign-in before testing, frequent app crashes or freezes, and heavy resource usage leading to failures on devices with less RAM. Privacy concerns are also raised due to insufficient information on downloaded data. Despite these issues, the developers remain responsive, and the app is favored among performance reviewers.

Pros

Widely used benchmarking tool with support for diverse hardware and operating systems.
Provides offscreen tests for accurate performance comparisons.
Good layout for easily comparing benchmark scores.
Developers are responsive to user emails and support inquiries.
Popular with tech reviewers and YouTubers for performance assessments.

Cons

Requires downloading large amounts of data (around 600MB+) which is slow and cannot download in the background.
App requires signing in or creating an account to run benchmarks, causing inconvenience.
App often crashes, freezes, or gets stuck connecting to servers or during downloads.
Consumes significant device resources, sometimes causing out-of-memory errors on devices with less than 16GB RAM.
Lack of clear information about the data being downloaded raising privacy and security concerns.

Recent reviews

To be quite honest, I don't trust this app! It asks you to download over 600MB of data but it doesn't tell you anything about this data. Then, when I went to run the Manhattan sound test, 20 minutes later, it's still showing the same video. This video covers the entire screen, so you can't see, if or what, may be going on in the background. I never received any results, so I just closed the app. My concern is, in that 20 minutes, a lot of information on my cellphone could've been compromised.
