User Reviews

Users like FAST Speed Test for being lightweight, ad‑free, and useful for real‑world Wi‑Fi tests and for spotting carrier throttling. It’s praised as convenient, capable of longer tests, and sometimes closest to real speeds. However, the bulk of reviews flag reliability issues: frequent inaccuracies on mobile, inconsistent results vs other tests, and notable stability problems with crashes on iOS (often after uploads). UI/UX concerns also appear (no dark mode, white background, invisible checkboxes). Some compare it unfavorably to Ookla and request Apple TV support.

Pros

Lightweight, ad-free and does exactly what it claims.
Useful for detecting carrier throttling and for comparing it with other speed tests.
Reliable for Wi‑Fi speeds and provides near-real-world results; supports longer tests and adjustable settings.
Convenient and easy to use compared to a browser or website; seen as a practical go-to speed test.
Widely regarded as measuring real internet speed (positive sentiment across languages).

Cons

Inaccurate or inconsistent speed readings, especially on mobile networks.
Frequent crashes/force closes on iOS (including iOS 15.x and 15.3).
UI/UX issues: no dark mode, white background, and invisible checkboxes.
Download speeds/overall results don’t always match the browser/web version or other speed tests.
Missing features and platform gaps (e.g., packet loss tester, Apple TV support; some users prefer Ookla).

Recent reviews

Surprisingly there’s no Apple TV version of this app - which is where I watch Netflix the most.

I have been using this app for a week, and there have been several times that the app has been wrong. Don’t get me wrong, This app is good, but there are far better apps out there that do the same thing like SpeedTest by Ookla. I just am not particularly invested in this app. I hope you can get this app to be just as good as the app made by Ookla
