Network Speed Test 1.1.0.0

Asses the capabilities of your Internet connection using your Windows Phone and a smart app
Those who are curious about how quickly they can download something from the Web or how quickly their photos will be transferred to their cloud storage might be interested finding out first just how fast their current connection is.

For those who do no to want to resort to online tests for this have the possibility to try out on their Windows Phone devices a specialized application that goes by the name of Network Speed Test.

Practical look and smooth graphics

This utility comes with a decent appearance that features some carefully drawn elements of graphical design that give it a professional look and feel from end to end.

The app is responsive and with a quite informative front-end that puts right before your eyes all the details it collects while carrying out its specific tests. The navigation among the several sections of Network Speed Test is relatively smooth as it has a barely noticeable delay.

Full testing with one tap

To get this application started on its way you only have to tap a single button and the assessments will be initiated. The tests are done automatically and no further interaction is required nor advised until Network Speed Test finishes its job.

You can watch the progress of the operations in real time, as the gauge-like indicators take you through the steps of the whole procedure.

Download and upload speed values, with extra tests to go

The first test carried out by the utility will help you see exactly just how fast the Internet connection is with regard to the download rate. The upload speed assessment is up next and you will have the final values shown right under the graph in the main screen.

A neat feature of Network Speed Test is that it also performs some additional checkups after the two main evaluations are complete and thus you will get some supplementary info about packet loss, network delay and maximum jitter values.

Network details and thorough logging

With the help of this app you can view, in the dedicated area, some useful information regarding the network your phone is currently connected to.

Another plus is the addition of a "History" module where you can find the results of all the test you completed when connected to various networks, so you can make comparisons and other assessments based on those listed figures.
