App provides scant information. Speed test does not work at all on Samsung smartphone. Below 6Mbps there is no reading for the speed test. So if you have a slow connection you can't troubleshoot it because it doesn't read slow connections. If your speed is going fast I don't know what you would need the speed test for. Screen would never format properly on MK808. Everything was all jumbled up.
In short this app is for you if your connection is running well. Just so you can look at it running well for no reason. If the connection is slow it gives no reading. Useless!
