SpeedTest app uses a fake data file.
To understand this, let's understand how a SpeedTest app works.
A speedtest uses a fake data file to send to an Internet service provider. It sends the file to measure the download or upload speed. But when it does this, the internet service provider cranks up the upload or download speed for your iPhone.
Does your Internet service provider crank up the internet speed, when you are downloading a game or streaming music or video?
Honestly, you wouldn't know, because SpeedTest doesn't measure the download or upload speed in real situation.
SpeedTest app measures the internet speed when your internet service provider is using a fake file and is doing its best.
Meter Robot does not use a fake data file.
Instead, it measures your download speed, when you are using the internet.
For example, Meter Robot measures your download speed when you are downloading a movie, a song, a game or an app.
If you have a LTE connection, you can really see how well it does in real situation.
If you have a Wi-FI AC connection, you can measure its upload or download speed performance too.
It also counts how much LTE, 4G or 3G cellular data you used.
Note: No account to sign up. No Google, Facebook, Twitter or Linked account password to provide.
This app works terrific to monitor data usage to prevent overage charges on bill. Thanks for the quality product.
It has a beautiful design yet it lacks to give you an option to change the Mb to Gb. PLUS IT TURNED ON MY PHONE LED ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON EVERY TIME!!!I have the 5s and I hope they fix that bug and overall just update it.But when they fix everything,I will give this app a 9/10
Sleek layout. Easy to use. No ads. Has everything you would need in a data usage monitoring app neatly put together.
Gave a COMPLETELY different read out than my carrier has. I can understand if it's slightly different but the numbers were total opposites. And yes, I converted mb to gb, which is annoying to not have an option to use GB only. *DELETE*
I tried several apps, this one has the best experience. If I can see my left data and have usage level alert, it will be the perfect one
I don't understand the app. It says it measures internet speed but there's no button to test it. Then a calculator appears with a needle. You put some number. This developer has used minimalist design to a point that it is unusable and no help available. 1 extra star for making it free but I am deleting it.
All I see is an indication that says 7.9 MB. What is this? It's not the data I've used according to the counter on my iPhone - that's much more. And where is the data speed indicator. Sorry, but without any instruction this app is useless.
This might be a useful app. But from within the app itself there is no indication how to use it. I can't believe that Apple guidelines allow such an experience for users. Just poking around doesn't yield much useful results. Glad I got it for free. I went back and reread the description and it looks like I should run a data transfer of some kind and switch back to the app. But the places that a keypad show up don't make sense. I shouldn't have to go to the developer's website to figure out how to use this.
Lots of numbers but nothing that makes much sense. No directions or metrics. The number that I think is the result can be changed manually? Thank god I didn't pay for this crap.
