Meter Robot

Normally $2.99.

Meter Robot is like is a SpeedTest app, but it does more. It measures your data speed in real situation.

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.
