Coverage Map

Like I said…. I’m impressed!

Excellent understanding of the reasons behind the sluggishness or efficiency, advantages or drawbacks of the television, mobile phone, or computer.

No more hexagon indicators, it’s all blocky squares. And the speed test constantly gets timed out errors when running consistent tests back to back.

When zoomed in the resolution is great. However, when you zoom out the hexagons quickly get grouped together into larger averaged hexagons. This can leave the impression of service in areas when there is clearly no service once you zoom in. It would be nice if the averaging is not performed until you zoom out much further. This is especially the case on iPads where you have so much more useable screen than a phone. Downloading the FCC coverage map for offline use would also be great. Typically I want to see coverage when I am road tripping and when I am trying to see when or where I will get coverage back, there is already no coverage so I can’t see the map.

Ever since ookla gobbled up root metrics and canceled their amazing app I’ve been looking for a replacement. I don’t want to just do speed tests. I wanted a map where I could see real speed test data instead of the fake coverage maps carriers provide. Want to know if your vacation rental will have service and what the service will be like? This is the app for you. And it even has a multiple speed test mode so I can help fill out the map while driving hands free. Wow best app I’ve seen in a long time.

When doing multiple speed tests after like 5 it starts to error out even though data is working great and other speed test apps show very high speeds. This needs fixed.

I’m so proud of the team that started this whole thing. They had an idea, and despite their small group in the beginning they have grown and was able to make this amazing app. It’s flawless IMO, and I love that I can help contribute data to help others make a better decision on which carrier works the best in their area. There’s VERY few paid features (like two, I think. Seriously.). You have nothing to lose to try it out! But if you’re going to contribute, make sure you’re on an unlimited data plan! Doing a bunch of speed tests on your cell phone can quickly add up on your data usage!

The ability to run consecutive speed tests is awesome, but there should be an unlimited test option for the roadtrip convenience. I have also noticed that this app does not trigger midband connections as easily as a Ookla speedtest, meaning your tests may not actually denote the possible speeds available in your area, I think the app needs to be more data hungry in how the speedtest runs. I also want the tests to be able to be ran in the background at full speed, just like ookla, this would make long distance testing great and with less bad/ low performing tests. Overall this app is on its way to greatness.

Found this app super helpful for making a data driven decision concerning coverage and plans. I refuse to pay high prices for poor coverage so this app is a great help. And…. It’s Free!!!
