Error messages and failed speed tests are frequent issues now. Has been a very useful app over the years, but now it's the biggest consumer of battery power on my phone, I've moved on. A whopping 23% of the battery's charge was consumed today. Are they running constant speed tests in the background? I'm not going to find out as I've uninstalled the app. Hope not if people have limited data...

***Edited*** can now add 20 favourites!!! Thank you for listening. ***Original Review*** Wonderful little app that tests my internet speed and also includes Down Detector. It's super helpful. My only gripe is you can only add 3 favourites, wish I could add as many as I wanted. I'd be willing to pay for that. I've paid the cheap price for ad removal, please add more favourites options.

Edit: Not sure what happened with last few updates, but now it won't pick the best server. Also, the new ping stats are confusing and the help section doesn't explain anything really. PLEASE FIX! I rely on you guys heavily. Prior: I've used this app for years. It's very reliable and easy to use. For only $.99 all ads are removed and I can install it on ALL my devices ad-free, even when I get a new one. Highly recommended for its features and accuracy. Wish it was available for family library.

It has ads but they have to get money somehow and either way, they dont really bother or get in the way of the speed test. I have been using this app for years now measuring my speeds and it has the availability of different servers in different locations. It's really not bad, I trust this app more than open signal and any other 3rd party speed test. The UI is pretty sleek too.

Changed from 5 stars to 2. Now with pop up ads, it falls far behind the free competition. "All new design and user experience" translates to "Now with far more aggressive monetization!" You can pay for no ads, which is great, but there are plenty of alternatives that don't require this. I am all for paying to remove ads in most cases, but the fact that this is such a simple app with so many alternatives means it's just not worth it.

Was a functionally great app, but with the latest version, it started running in the background. I can't imagine any good reason why an app that I use only periodically has a need to run 24/7/365, but I can think of a number of bad reasons. I found another simple speed test that's free, with more functionality and has the added benefit of not needing services constantly running in the background.

Inexcusable bug whereby the data transferred is not scaled based on the connection being Wi-Fi or cellular. It's fine to transfer 1GB over Wi-Fi. When I tested cellular, getting great speeds, but my data alarm went off immidiately. I burned through half my monthly data allowance in 15 seconds. Closing the app kept the data connection in the background. Had to swipe terminate the app to get it to stop. Unacceptable. Uninstalled.

I've been using this app for years and suddenly it's hogging all my data. I'm on a pre-paid plan so I keep track of my data use pretty well, noticed the app had used 2.5 GB and I was only a week into the month. I decided to test it toward the end of the month and one test used 600mb. I have no idea what they changed but I'm deleting it from all my devices.

Used the free ad supported version for many years and finally purchased the ad free. UPDATE: Like many others, I upgraded my phone to the Pixel 6 Pro and now it's impossible to restore my purchase. Ads all over the place when I already paid for the app to remove ads. Shady operation and for that, you get only one star, down from 5. 👎 I switched to analiti which I also paid for about the same time and zero ads in it. Uninstalling Speedtest by Ookla immediately after submitting this review.

Only one complaint, for some odd reason it doesn't give my correct location. It picks a server in Las Vegas and says I'm only 135 miles away when I'm actually 1,000 miles away. It use to pick it up right but one day i got on and was going to test my connection and every since then it hasn't done right. I've uninstalled and everything but still no luck, even factory reset my phone still same issue. Other than that it's an awesome app, very accurate speed wise, not location wise.

This is a great app. All their features are free to use, and easy to understand. The adds do not affect the user experience, but are still easily visible to users! The paid version of the app offers advanced features for a low price. The VPN is secure and free for 2GB, which is great! A paid version is available with unlimited usage, and it's way cheaper than mainstream VPNs. Great app, well done developers!

Alan Harris

Was a good app and cheap for ad removal but I've now switched phones and it just don't seem to want to log me in and even gone down route of the forgotten password and just says email can only be processed every 24 hours so now can't even get into my account and been trying for weeks. So thought I'd see if could set up a new account on the email I set it up on and it has so don't know how that's possible and very dodgey

Derrick K.

Very accurate, but it can be annoying with ads & certain other things at times. It can help when checking to see if Wi-Fi is working correctly or not & in similar cases, but it probably won't be able to help if there's no network connection at all. I don't have anything negative to say about this app, so it's great... 👍🏻😀

BB Bond

I thought I was doing it incorrectly but it keeps swirling around in its circle but it's not showing you any measurements while it's swirly/circling around. I understand it's supposed to continue measuring, even if not. I've let it go for a long while with good Internet basically & a new Motorola razr from 2024. I decided to just stare & look at it for 15minutes or so,and still no measurement🤔! it's too much UNuser-friendly I'm uninstalling.

Vincent Granville

I used to like this app but for me it's no longer reliable. Some of the servers auto selected cannot support high speed internet connections over 5 Gbit/s up and down and thus give false test results making devices seem worse than they are connectivity wise. There are too many speedtest servers and not enough consistency and reliability now. It's a shame.

Speedtest by Ookla is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring internet connection speeds. The application is very simple to use and provides fast results for download, upload, and ping rates. It is an excellent resource for anyone who needs to quickly check their network performance. The app's clean and intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate, and the results are easy to understand. Overall, Speedtest by Ookla is a great and trustworthy app for testing internet speed.

Manuja Siriwardhana

There's a bug in the app. Sometimes, the app consumes data when connected to wifi. Had to stop this by uninstalling the app. I don't know whether it's a bug or Ookla collecting user data without the user's consent. Users, please be on alert.

#unlimted_internet_in_egypt. They pay us money to give us a certain number of gigabytes, for example, how many gigabytes, and they say that it will last us for a month, but they are scamming us because the package does not last for a month. It ends in the first two weeks and it is difficult to recharge it again. And for those who see it as normal, no, not at all, because the packages are very expensive.

I love the Speedtest App. It let's me know the download and upload speeds I'm getting. I've recently had new Broadband installed, which hasn't worked properly since day one. Using Speedtest let's me update my provider with the speeds I'm getting. I use it so much, I paid about £1.00 to go AD free. In my opinion, it's a must have app..

Mustafa A. Haji

Great app, works as intended. But unfortunately, it does not support any of the new android features that have been out for a while now, like themed icons, edge to edge, back gesture predictions. I hope you guys can make this app even better than it is. would easily give it a 5 star.
