Review summary

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.

2024-08-19	Ra*****	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.
