Opensignal Internet Speed Test for Positive User Reviews
✓ 5GWill you be adding 5G capability anytime soon?.Version: 5.9.3
✓ Simple to useThis is a great app to work out just what speed and more important the carrier in the area, what it needs is an automatic data testing and update to the web so if you are driving around and area it can make / update data rate transfer maps. As apart from that a very cool application..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app in declineThis was a fantastic app, the most useful of the connection checkers for mobile signals. But the revised front page and removing the ability to locate nearest cell towers etc is a real downgrade. The previous incarnation would have had a 5 star review, please reinstate the features..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Great appThis app works great, I just wanted to point out a small typo. When doing a Speedtest on Wi-Fi the app spells it as “Wifi” when it should spell it “Wi-Fi”.Version: 4.0.12
✓ Independent Useful ToolI’ve been using this useful tool to test WiFi signal around the house and at friends to decide if we should change network provider. It’s an independent tool that’s easy to use and provides almost instant result for network and video performance. It also keeps useful history so you can compare different times of the day and months. I can’t relate this highly enough. 👍🏾.Version: 5.28.0
✓ Excellent App.Enjoying the information provided..Version: 5.35.0
✓ DisappointedI have been using this app to find towers while boondocking in the desert, it helps me point my Yagi antenna at the nearest tower. Well the latest update removed that function so this app is now just about useless as i normally only have one tower in range, I just need to know where it is, this app used to do that, no more so will have to find another way. Why you removed the best feature is beyond me. *UPDATE* I have updated my review two 4 stars as the developers have brought back the compass, which was to me the most important feature, redesigned, might want to add a direction marker at the top of the screen as it is not readily apparent which direction is the alignment point..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Different resultsI get 2 very different sets of test results from my iPad and iPhone. Same feed same position. Which should I believe?.Version: 5.3.2
✓ Blood helpfulThe app is already helpful by showing you where signal is strongest according to which carrier. Letting you know it's best to go off 3G and save on mobile phone battery from trying to find a signal..Version: 1.0.1
✓ It worksWifi and tower signal strength status - it works. But it does chew a lot of battery in no time so use the app wisely!.Version: 4.6
✓ GoodEasy to use.Version: 1.0.2
✓ One flaw with the appOne thing I wish they would fix is that the app never updates your location while it’s running so when you take multiple speed readings, even if they’re far apart, it shows in the same spot unless you quit and relaunch the app after each test..Version: 5.22.0
✓ Use this before getting into a contractThis app's network rank feature was really helpful for figuring out which provider has the best signal at my university and saved me from getting into a 3 yr contract with a mediocre provider. Thanks opensignal!.Version: 2.1
✓ What happened to directional arrow?The only use I had for this app was to find where the nearest strongest cell signal was coming from..... it would point its arrow I. The direction I would need to point my booster antenna ...... now when I travel.... I have NO CLUE where to point it! Thanks for getting rid of the only use I had for you. UPDATE They listened and they care.... the arrow is now back. Once again.... happy with the app!!! Thanks for fixing it!.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Takes ages to open the speed testWhy is this taking so long to run?? I’d like to use it more but it just stays on loading for over five minutes!!.Version: 5.45.0
✓ Great appIt’s very rare that I actually like an app. This app does everything it promises and works great. Really helps with precisely aiming directional cell signal booster antennas. And don’t worry, WiFi is not a typo. You can spell it as Wi-Fi, WiFi, WiFi, wifi, it all means the same thing; wireless fidelity..Version: 4.0.14
✓ Used to be a great appUsed to be a great app, but now they have removed the tower location feature it has lost one of the best features..Version: 5.1.3
✓ Works wellEasy to use and helped us figure out the truth about our service. We switched providers. Cogeco is much better than Bell in our neighborhood..Version: 5.18.3
✓ Quick and efficientGood quick app provides the information in one place.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Signal problemsFirst and foremost I love the fact that have taken the time to give us a free application. A Signal booster is badly needed where I live. This application will help me install this myself. It may not be perfect but work great for my needs. So five stars from me. Thanks and have a great day too..Version: 5.16.1
✓ RThis is true rate which is not what the big providers will tell you..Version: 5.10.0
✓ Pretty simple. Pretty powerfulI like the open map that shows you where other users of the app have been and performed tests. However, in some cases it would not let me zoom in. Additionally, would be great to have more than just red and green. If the map could show at least yellow for medium signals, that would be awesome. Got a friend who wants to map his entire little town by driving every road and walking into the woods for the gaps. Also, option of showing tower locations would be great. Thanks for all your hard work..Version: 5.19.4
✓ Not like it used to be :c (UPDATED)I used to love it. I needed it to find closed carrier towers and it did it better than any other app that tried. But then they took that away and now it’s just like every other speed test app. I don’t know what to think about it now :/ June 2020 UPDATED: It’s back to 5 stars! Thanks so much for putting the signal compass back in here!.Version: 5.2.2
✓ BrilliantNew update full of features. The coverage map is now fed by users so the telcos can no longer put lipstick on a pig..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Almost perfectI like the follow the arrow to the nearest cell tower but it is limited to only your provider. You can filter the map by any provider so you should be able to change the arrow to any provider as well. That is the only feature I need that would make it perfect for me!.Version: 5.16.2
✓ New version removed the most useful function![Updated, 8 June 2020]: Changed my rating to 3 stars now that the signal compass feature has been restored (as of app version 5.2.2). Would give it another star except that the upload part of the speed test feature consistently fails for me (starts, but fails with message “Error”). Of 24 speed tests, only 3 completed that part of the test. —— Just updated the app (to version 5.0.3) only to discover that the most useful function has been removed: the cell tower signal direction indicator!!! That feature has been used by many people over the years, like me, to determine in which direction to point the antenna of my cell signal booster in order to obtain the best connection. It totally makes no sense at all why the developers would choose to remove that function, and also to not announce it in the version release notes. Two thumbs down! This app is now mostly useless. The speedtest function hasn’t worked reliably or at all most of the time for over a year. And the cell signal mapping is mostly useless because of low participation outside of large metropolitan areas, and if you’re in such an area you’re likely to get a good signal anyway..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Useful practical toolI frequently use opensignal to compare the actual internet speed with the provider’s claim in the contract. Providers like Vodafone charge according to the speed so it’s good to have this app plus their own one for this purpose..Version: 5.46.0
✓ Useful for assessing network statsReally handy when checking signal quality. I only use it for the sake of information, but the sleek design and coverage maps are pretty cool. Unfortunately it seems the upload test still fails though..Version: 2.2.1
✓ So much more than just SpeedLove this app.Version: 5.9.3
✓ Pretty good appIf everyone downloaded this app, it would be even better but you can only do so much with limited users. For some reason, when I run speed tests it seems like it always has a latency error, not sure if this is a bug or my service itself. If you select the interactive map, you can press check performance which goes through all the major carriers and lists speeds and latency with signal strength (IMO this is the best feature of the app). It would be nice to know how the app sends data back to Opensignal and the frequency that it does that. Tldr: this is a good app for all smartphone users if you are wondering about your cell phone service and reception for different areas..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Test and goIt’s a good app but it’s not giving me the accurate speed test.Version: 5.60.0
✓ Best speed test app out thereThis is the most accurate app I’ve used, it gives you the actual experience rather than the best case scenario like ooklas Speedtest app. I also love the way it crowdsources data from you neighbours to see exactly what the best network experience is in a specific location..Version: 5.16.1
✓ Great app - reveals the true speedOpensignal is the perfect way to better understand my mobile connectivity. I’m tired of speedtest apps that use dedicated testing servers so my connection appears fast when I’m testing but then is slow when I’m actually trying to use it. I really appreciate the Opensignal methodology which shows my true, typical speed, not just the best case. And to top it off, it’s a good looking app. Great job team!!.Version: 5.10.0
✓ InterestingIt's all about the maps.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Great appBest way to test your mobile network speed and experience..Version: 5.1.3
✓ Signal SectionI don't understand how to read your Signal Section. It shows as number of bars per provider which is the same. When I click on arrow UP it rearranges and I assume it is by the best coverage on top but a couple of times it was showing less signal bars with the provider on top. It's confusing. Can you fix that?.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Open SignalGreat app, use it everyday, very informative & helpful..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not Quite There Yet (in Oz)Plot of Mobile Reception spots is working well. Plot of Free WiFi also good. But Plot of Cell Towers and Listing of Carriers now fails..Version: 4.0.11
✓ Simple, clean interfaceCurrently using iOS 15.1 and not sure if it’s fully functional for cell tower location, but WiFi resources are solid. Unlike other apps I’ve tried, this is uncluttered, and it’s free. It helped me determine that I need a new, more efficient and powerful router at home, and it confirmed weak signal areas at work. I could not get any cell towers to show up and I know they’re nearby. Had hoped to use this app to help me with a live stream coming up soon, but not being amble to locate a cell tower is a problem..Version: 5.19.4
✓ Great little app with quick, reliable informationThat being said, the reason i only gave it 4 stars is because it lacks the ability to orient in any way beyond portrait mode. I use my iPad with a keyboard, putting it in landscape mode. Hard to understand why, in this day and age, apps are not written with the ability to change orientations per position of device. For my purposes, works better than Ookla, but would love developers to give it ability to orient appropriately..Version: 4.1
✓ The arrow to find an antenna returned. GreatThe arrow to find an antenna returned. Great.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Cell tower locationThe signal direction pointer is back which is brilliant but I would still like to see how many towers there are locally which was a part of the direction finder. I do love this app and use it regularly. Thanks. This app is unique xx.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Current version removed the arrow that pointed to connected towerThis application used to be very valuable to locate my connected tower so I could move towards it to improve my reception. It is now worthless since this function was removed. Why did they do something so dumb? The problem was corrected in early June, and as a result, I changed my rating from 1 star to 5 stars.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Nice!Great concept..Version: 1.0.1
✓ BrilliantJust sits there until needed then works like a dream..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Easy to use but frustratingWhile the testing is easy to use, the frustrating part is that I cannot get it to show me any cell towers. Keeps telling me that there seems to not be any towers here and I’m in the middle of a high density data area in a very populated city. I don’t understand the message just says that there are no cell towers. I’m suspecting that when I get out on the road and try to use it, I will be told that I cannot find any cell towers even though there may be some around me. That’s a portion that I would really like to see work. I’m on an iPhone..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Awesome! 👍I love this app!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ The bestTried all the others. In my opinion this is the best one..Version: 5.18.3
✓ CrashI have installed and deleted this app several times. It worked fine the first time I opened it but after closing and reopening it failed to operate correctly. I found if I deleted and the reinstalled from the cloud it would operate correctly one time then would have to be deleted again and reinstalled before using again. Great idea, hope you can get the bugs out. Good luck!.Version: 4.6
✓ Excellent productI enjoy this product. I wish it was able to identify which tower on a map it was using during the test. Others than that it’s very accurate..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Limited data reportedA great app if only the data I report resulted in an accurate reflection of mobile signal in my rural area..Version: 5.10.0
✓ Great App!This app is stunning. It really helps to find the best service at any spot, and gives a good idea of the mobile company that has the best coverage. Well done guys!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Follow the Arrow? YepDownloaded the app and it appears the directional arrow has been re-implemented. Don’t know if it was an update glitch or whatever, but the app is now useful! This app worked at one time but no longer has the directional arrow indicating the direction of the cell tower. This function was key when installing a directional cell signal booster antenna. Now that it no longer works, deleted the app. Not recommended if you need to identify the source of your strongest signal..Version: 4.0.13
✓ Great for directing me to get receptionTotally saves me from black spots in downtown Vancouver, great around Dunsmuir and Georgia. The stats page is also really cool.Version: 2.0
✓ Great app but needs some tuning.Been using this app for over a year now and it seems to really gives you the best average speed test rather than maximum speed. I have Ookla SpeedTest and I use it to compare the differences of its performance and Ookla (and other speed test app) does only give you what your cell signal/Wi-Fi maximum speed is and Open Signal gives you the real speed that you’re always averaging. This app would be perfect if the developer can make it for you to delete your old test records (you can but it comes back after resetting the app) and needs to add location to where you test your signal and Wi-Fi so you can keep track of where you had already test the signal. There seems to be a problem with the find cellular signal. I’m standing right next to my cellular sever (T-Mobile) and it’s pointing away from it?. Other then that this is a great speed test app. 3 stars for now..Version: 4.0.13
✓ Résultats?On voit des chiffres mais on ne peut en tirer des conclusions.Version: 5.18.0
✓ Very useful, just a few bugs to reportPulling up the speed test history is slow. I wish the history would show the network name. Also, when viewing the history, if the upload speed is >100 MBPS, it will record it 1 decimal point off. E.g. I got a 443 MBPS upload on my fiber, it shows it as 44.3 in the history. The download number is showing correctly..Version: 5.14.0
✓ Is it your phone or is the internet down?This app is the easiest way to answer many questions including questions like, “does this phone provider have good coverage in my area?”.Version: 5.28.0
✓ Open signal tower loc not workingGreat app but tower location function no longer works also pick someone in your office and ask them to report a problem with app it’s impossible just get your website with no way to report anything.Version: 5.62.0
✓ Getting worse. Much worse.1. After the iOS 13 update, the signal readings on the map became almost translucent, they’re pretty hard to see, especially in dark mode. Ok, fine. I get it’s difficult transitioning to a whole new iOS platform. BUT.... 2. The the maps keep loading slower and slower. Utterly terrible. It’s almost unusable, even on strong solid WiFi connections..Version: 4.7.1
✓ On its way to success..The application is different than the rest, with the idea of a compass directing you to the nearest tower. And the ability to check the speed of you Wi-Fi’s, download, upload, and latency. The people that write a negative review forget a couple of things.. First, the application is Free! There is so much a free application can do without it being a “ Professional Technician “ and charge you. Second, even though some of things on the app have bugs, I believe that’s the reason why updates were created. Third and last, the developer of the application is actually responding your entitled reviews and fixing the issue that you complain about because you can’t afford a professional to fix your internet. Lol!.Version: 5.7.1
✓ Finally found a signal.I didn’t get this app at first. I had no signal at all at home. I knew there was a tower nearby because I had 65 plus mbs just 5/miles away. Turns out, the tower is even closer. I took the phone to the south east part of my house where the tower is. I couldn’t believe it. Sitting in my cupboard, my iPhone got 2 bars LTE. It still has no signal anywhere else even outside.. I connected my laptop. Updated the iOS. Now, I am getting 11-12mbs consistently. Kind of strange, but I never would have located that tower without this app..Version: 4.6
✓ Simple, easy, accurate, fastI live in the country. My Internet is not good. I use this app quite frequently to check my signal strength. It works very well. I appreciate the way it tests my download, and my upload, but I also appreciate the way it tests a sample video download. Try this app, I think you’ll like it.Version: 5.10.0
✓ Great app could use distance to towerThe direction to the nearest tower is very helpful. It would be even better if it gave a relative distance to the tower. It would be interesting if a log of speed test results including distance and direction to the tower. I end up using other Speedtest apps to keep a log of results. 3 precious results isn’t enough..Version: 5.18.3
✓ CrashingGood app but currently crashing on iPhone X, tried reinstalling but still crashes after a few seconds, any chance of a fix?.Version: 4.0.11
✓ Excellent update!A victory to privacy, this update gives us the choice to stop sharing data when the app is running on the background. This app is super recommended to anyone, check it out. Awesome speed tests for WiFi as well as for cellular. Awesome coverage maps for cellular updated all the time just by keeping the app open and contributing to the community.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Worth the priceOnly 15MB of space and no identifiers. Doesn't do much on LTE but it does more than nothing. It gives some info for my local rural tower but that info is in conflict with real collected data that isn't readily available to public. Go ahead and give it full permissions because it doesn't do anything naughty. I hope it improves! cheers.Version: 5.45.0
✓ Love this app!Thank you for bringing back the compass. Very handy.Version: 5.2.2
