User Reviews for Opensignal Internet Speed Test

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.

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!

Worthless

First the positive: It works well providing you with a true internet speed test. Now the bad: The maps and “signal finder” are worthless. They don’t show many cell phone towers at all. I have a huge, multi-cell tower operated by my carrier a half mile from my house that’s been there for 15 years that they don’t recognize at all. When asked about that, their reply is “it’s not in our database.” As a result of that, rather than their signal pointer pointing towards that tower, it points to where there is no tower...False positives and inaccurate locations are even worse than the towers they fail to recognize. I live near Lake Michigan and their map shows a dozen towers in the middle of the lake. You may ask why it even shows a dozen towers in a relatively small area, I’ll tell you- Say a single tower has 9 cell antennas on it, this app shows it as 9 separate towers, and because the geolocation is so awful, it shows them all spread out over a mile apart. The end result is a single tower in a single location is reported as 9 different towers spread over a couple square miles, and their “signal finder” points at all those non-existent towers. Worthless.

App isn’t useful to me with new version

I used this app to find cell towers as we travel full time and I used it to point our cell phone booster. They removed the tower locator and arrow function. These were the most useful features to me. There are better options for a speed test app. Not sure why they took away a key differentiator. The app went from 5-star and exactly what I needed to 1-star with no features I need.** Developer added back compass function to see direction to only closest tower. It’s better but being able to tap the compass and see the locations of all towers was most useful. Sometimes closest the tower is obstructed and it works better to point cell booster toward a different antenna. I’ll add one star back for bringing back an in-demand feature back. But the app still isn’t as useful to me as a cell tower map.

Easy to use but frustrating

While 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.

Nice idea but not useful

Nice idea here, but like others rating this app, I NEVER see any cell towers! I use VZW in the US like many, but regardless of where I go, I never see towers. Even if I allow “roaming” I still never see towers. That is originally why I was interested in the app... to try to nail down why I have poor signal strength near home even though I see towers in my line of sight!As for the speed tests... useless as they do not tell you where the other end is or how many hops, and you can’t choose test locations. Sooooooo.... meh. Sorry. I will maybe keep it on my phone for a little while, but will likely just let it go quietly away someday when I need to purge unused apps. Nice try but not working or useful * AS ADVERTISED * .

The #1 tool for the Security & Fire alarm industry

OpenSignal is the best, most important cellular testing tool I have as a professional in the Security & Fire Alarm industry. This free, amazingly easy to use, comprehensive testing & tower locator tool insures that the cellular communicators that we install are using the best carrier available based on signal strength, data latency upload/download speed testing that I perform myself at every location I go to. For me and those in my industry, OpenSignal insures top performance when seconds means the difference in life or death. Having a tool in your hand that tests cellular performance from the exact location you are at, is a dream come true for those who’s job is to secure property, protect jobs, and save lives. No matter where you are, you know whether you can use the cellular communicators internal antenna or if you will need an outdoor antenna because of the distance you are from a tower or the buildings size or the structures building material blocks the cellular signal. In those areas that a long-range directional antenna is required, OpenSignal shows me exactly where to point my antenna. As a 33 year veteran of the Security & Fire Alarm Industry. I recommend everyone that uses cellular communications to get this app, it’s a Life Saver figuratively and Literally.

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.

Great app but needs some tuning.

Good idea; needs improvement

I especially like that Open Signal offers competition to Ookla‘a well-known speed test apps. This app gives good real-world performance insights into each of the networks you might connect to. The app does not detect when switching Wi-Fi networks and needs to be force quit and relaunched to pick up the change. When switching from one Wi-Fi network to another, running a speed test will tag the result with the previous network name and often fail to compete the test at all. The data usage feature is interesting but doesn’t seem work either. Usage results are not updated without force quitting and relaunching the app.
