## Description

PingMeter is an intuitive graphical interface for the PING command, a fundamental network diagnostic tool enhanced with fun and useful sound effects. Designed to run in the background, it allows users to switch between apps while still receiving audible alerts about network status, eliminating the need to constantly watch the screen.

Ideal for testing WiFi coverage across large areas, PingMeter instantly notifies you of lost packets through distinct sounds, making network monitoring seamless and efficient. The extension also features a "Ping Weather" icon that visually represents packet loss severity, from clear sun (no loss) to stormy conditions (poor connectivity). Compatible with a variety of Android devices, it depends on the device's native ping command functionality to operate effectively.

## Review summary

Users repeatedly praise Ping for being lightweight, simple to use, free, and ad-free, with useful ping data and background operation. The most common drawbacks are a need for an Android version update to ensure compatibility and an intrusive, hard-to-control audible ping tone (with a confusing toggle). Overall, it suits basic diagnostics, but could benefit from timely updates and tone customization features.

### Pros

- Lightweight and fast with a simple, uncluttered interface
- Free to use and ad-free
- Provides useful ping metrics (ms, packet loss) and can run in the background
- Easy to use for basic network diagnostics

### Cons

- Needs updates to support newer Android versions (compatibility)
- Audible ping tones can be intrusive and not easily customizable; toggle/UI can be confusing
