Waste of $$$$
I love wm.h.macy
Total waste of money. Shows a green screen indicating you are connected to Internet but does nothing to indicate how or at what speed. All you see is s green screen. If I wasn't connected I would know immediately. Don't need a green screen to tell me!
Does not work

The app thinks I'm connected to the internet even though I am not signed into the Wifi but just connected to it. I would like a refund.
Nice update!

Lets you know which signal it’s connected to and the speed. WiFi automatically takes priority over cellular (again, would be nice if there could be a WiFi-Cellular-Auto switch) but it’s a significant improvement. This will be very helpful when I want to test to see if our WiFi is acting up. Great work, developers!
New version works great!!

Edit - new version works great. I have a pretty flakey internet connection at home. I was hoping this little app would be able to give me a realtime indication of whether or not my internet connection was up. The actual reading seems to be delayed from reality. The AirPort utility will report the connection is up long before this one does. If a refresh button could be added that would force the app to check again, this might be very useful. I'm not sure how it is determining internet availability but maybe some kind of setting that would allow for different mechanisms would be useful as well.
