User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for accurate speeds and ease of use, with the challenge test feature seen as a plus. However, privacy and data collection concerns are the dominant negatives, as many reviews complain about login requirements, location access, and data sharing. Reliability issues, including crashes and poor performance in areas with weak signal, are also common. Several longtime users dislike the update that replaced the old version. In short: accuracy and usability are positives; privacy and stability are major drawbacks.

Pros

Accurate, reliable speed test results.
Easy to use and operate.
Helpful challenge test feature to verify carrier coverage claims and monitor network quality.
Quick check option that does not require personal data.
Privacy-focused improvements in recent updates.

Cons

Mandatory login and collection of personal data/location, raising privacy concerns.
Perceived data collection and sharing of personal information; unneeded permissions.
Bugs, crashes, and reliability issues, including tests failing or the app not connecting.
Poor performance in areas with little or no cellular service, making tests difficult or impossible.
Frustration with updating from the old version; many users prefer the old app and view the new version as junk.

Recent reviews

It is absolutely insane that you cannot do a speed test specifically for Wi-Fi to challenge a Wi-Fi provider. That is the main reason that the majority of users downloaded this app for. And asking for personal info just to even try to run a challenge test? This feels like collusion with Wi-Fi providers to let them get away with false advertising and the good old data broker scheme.

Challenged T-Mobile last 03 years with no results from the fcc Test is not accurate compared to Ookla speed test. T-Mobile is fraudulent claiming service exists in areas where the signal is intermittent at best and mostly SOS.
