WiFiPerf

WiFiPerf is a bandwidth performance measurement app for iOS. The app can operate as a client and/or server. WiFiPerf can be used for iOS-to-iOS testing, iOS-to-Mac OS testing, or iOS to any device running iPerf3. WiFiPerf should work with other operating systems that support iPerf 3.x.

Killer App
bionicrocky

Just like their OSX iperf, this is indispensable. Being able to do a walk through with a client while running it is fantastic. Much easier than juggling a laptop to do the same. iPerf is absolutely necessary for true to end testing. Ping gets dropped first, speediest.net is taking the internet connection, geography, and all other saturation into account and thus doesn't give the view of the internal wireless network. iPerf gives just that. Being able to do it on my iPad is the icing on the cake. Grab this, $20 well spent.


Does what it says

This app is quite helpful for testing wireless network performance when a large network is being deployed. It is expensive, considering it uses an open protocol, and possibly even library. However, it has a good featureset, and the bandwidth graph is a nice touch. Overall, if you need this functionality, the price is minor, especially if you are deploying a wifi network for iPads that is important. On my iPad 1, I occasionally have to kill the app, because each interval reports data twice. This is ios 5.0.1. When I kill the app(double-click the button, find the app, hold down its icon until it shakes, and click on the minus symbol), and start it again, the reporting is correct.


Didn't work

Enabled server on my iPad 3, tried to run as a client on my iPhone 4s. Both are connected to the same wireless network, pointed client to server IP, didn't work. Tried it in reverse, still nothing. Server log shows nothing. Wasted my money.


Horrible

Would be nice not to need to be an IT guy to figure this out and it does not give deep enough description of requirements until you actually pay for it. I want my $5 bucks back.


Works on Windows too!

Used a windows iPerf tool I got from wLanBook and it worked perfectly with this app. Great app!


It is useless.

It is useless.


Don't waste your money

The client just crashes and does not work.


Amazing

This is the only accurate way to test speed via iOS devices. Most other speedtest apps are not even close to accurate. This has been a godsend in testing throughput for new enterprise wireless installations.


A nice APP

I have been doing a lot of wireless tuning for iPads lately and this app is just want I was looking for. It's missing a few parameters that you can set on a Windows/Mac/Linux box like parallel streams but it is still very useful. I had no problem using jperf3 on windows or iperf3 in a terminal on OSX as the server. A couple reviews mentioned trouble using it. If you have never used iPerf before you may be a little frustrated. It isn't like running a "Ping" app. You have to use two devices, you may need to turn off the windows firewall on a Windows box and iPerf isn't rock solid. There are times it will quit responding on the server and you will have to restart it. But, if you need to do network bandwidth testing iPerf is well worth learning. It will test ANY link type. I have used it on VPN tunnels, MPLS, P2P WAN, server to server on a LAN and now on IOS. Plus you can test switch ports by plugging directly into a switch with two devices. A good test if you supect the switch can't keep up. On a 10Gbe network it was able to generate 8+GBps from a Windows VM on one VMWare host to a Windows VM on another VMWare host.


Works on Specific iPerf Server Version
Fahrenhe1t

After contacting the devs, this app only works on a server running iPerf 3 beta 4 (which can be downloaded for Mac OS X on the Access Agility website). Other server versions will crash the app. Once I got the proper server version, the app began working and appears to record speeds accurately. Apparently the devs are working on making the app compatible with iPerf 3.0.1. Also, it would be nice if the app ran in landscape mode, as only portrait is allowed right now.
