FCC Speed Test

If you are iPhone and iPad owner,you now can download FCC Speed Test for free from Apple Store. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 2.8 MB to download. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version 1.45 has been released on 2014-02-24. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: Requires iOS 7.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

As with any speed test they can be rigged but why would the fcc do it I run a network shop and it seems to have the most explainable results One thing fcc if your listening Please flip the month and day in the charts They are backwards                 Seems to be the most realistic Johnny Money

All other tests are failing for me Other Speedtest apps function properly         Only Download Test Working Cedric35

I was pleased to learn of a non commercial speed test for iOS But this is now two releases behind and barely works in iOS 11 Isn t there anyone at the FCC who can take time from the regulator s efforts to crush internet neutrality to fix this app for us         Great tool the FCC has allowed to atrophy Yobyot

I like this speed test cause it gives you the average of the test results I really don t care that I got a burst speed of up to such and such for a fraction of a second like the other tests do if it s not going to be representative of actual data usage                     Average Speed FXwes

As soon as I downloaded the app I ran a test Download seemed slow then I realized that the best source it could find was in San Jose Calif I live in Portland Ore There is no way to change this in settings I ll stick with Speedtest     Doesn t work for me Portore

Then this APPEARS to be the best speed test app Due to the nature of it being an iOS app I understand we re not gonna get to see a lot under the hood to begin with While the results and tests SEEM the most realistic and genuine in their reporting I don t know how any of us could know if it s truly legit                     If you can judge a book by its cover Steven Epix

The app does its job fine but where does the data go There hasn t been any data released about results from this app since 2013                     Fine app MacBKin

I do wish this wasn t quite so data heavy for capped cellular data plans Maybe get in the traffic uses exempted in the name if public policy                 Use this often Watchdog corporations taroliw

Regarding reviewers questioning if this is a truly an app written by for the government Go to the fcc dot gov website Go to The FCC menu the encyclopedia menu then measuring mobile broadband speeds Select iPhone app You will be taken here That said the app is ok                 FCC App x.BigRedDog.x

It crashed while performing the upload test on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8 4 btw the resolution is not scaled for the iPhone 6             Decent but ThePanthah

Can you up date the app for the iPhone 6 and 6 plus                 Update James Terrell Johnson II

People are thinking the FCC for this app but where is the evidence that the publisher has any connection at all to the government agency Seems deceptive to me     Who us Samknows Dark Clown

The app is simple and I love the concept of proving to the utility monopolies that they don t deliver what they advertise My provider is Frontier Communications and it may be the worst service in America and it s the only thing available without getting Satellite service that is 3x the cost and has super low bandwidth caps if I update my iPhone there goes half my cap for a month I just did a speed test and got 0 2 Mbps when they advertise and I pay for 6 0 Mbps with Frontier I would like to have this app performance tests 1 3x a day automatically to show the lack of service         Need Auto Testing voosman12

Waited two plus years for the App to come back Simple and no ads FCC got it right                     Good App Ron's review

Well done FCC This is good government in action                     Useful app efficient design LavarBurton

As of today s newest update it is still broken Big nothing when attempting to run     Now dead Doug S.

After recent update the stopped working it opens but it does not do anything The app is useless     The Doesn t Do Anything VicBeny

No longer works on my iPad after the latest update Pressing run does nothing at all     Broken AppleReviewer1900

Same here after update the App no longer works     Stopped Working Jishie

Just upgraded the speed test app and now it s not working Can t run one single test And yes the app is activated     Not working after upgrade Wmoylan

Servers limit download rating to 35 Mbps Other apps are twice as fast Probably done intentionally to allow government to give telecom welfare This overpaid Sam contractor should give taxpayer dollars back and shut down     Poor servers jams frequently Buyphone

Never starts It used to look for a server now it just sits there and never starts the test on any device on wi fi     No longer works MacSibby

The software downloads fine but does not do anything appears to have problems Good thing I did not purchase it Maybe that is the problem     Speed testing JRC181a

Since I did the update the app doesn t work I select Run but nothing happens This is on my iPad works fine on my iPhone             Problem Jemod

It doesn t do any test now I can see the history but tring to run any test gets no response at all     Broken GreybeardCT

A good app gone south Does not work Can t run any tests     Latest Version DOA R Sqrd

After upgrading to IOS8 I noticed that none of the tests would run I deleted the app and reloaded it but it still will not run any of the tests     Tests do not run under IOS8 RoyMilano

Why can I only share mobile results with social media I can test wifi but not tell anyone how my provider stacks up to promised speed Uh         Undecided but RulesOfTheRoad

About the gov starts going after internet providers                     Love it Frank in Miami

The fonts annoying and it s overall helpful                 Good but Djsjah

That font Change that font                 Good but andrew.conkling

this app automatically measures your cellular data speed etc not only when you want it to but automatically when you could be doing something else if you don t want the automatic measurements then set the monthly data cap to 1 or delete the app the default monthly data cap is 100 megabytes if you have very little data or even just a moderate amount of data on your cell plan then be sure to reduce the cap or delete this app otherwise if you want to help FCC get an idea of mobile broadband speeds around the USA on all the different cellular carriers then this is an app worth having                     this app automatically measures your iwantgizmos

Sometimes it works sometimes not Good concept for wanting to monitor internet speeds but needs work When is the next update             Not consistent RPF2015

Haven t been able to launch since downloading Interesting concept poor execution     Does Not Launch dfwjr

Compared to other speed test apps I ve found this app takes up to 10 seconds to show up     Too slow felixcriv

Cellular test is broken Incorrect result Other speed test apps show 10 Mbps but this app shows 0 1 or 0 2 Mbps That s unforgivable for a speed test app         Wifi test works but not cellular ohcomeonwiththenickname

The app never worked It locks up the ipad into a white screen Its almost as if Chairman Tom Wheel wrote the app     Horrible Axitron

9 out of 10 times I run this App it just says everything failed When my browser is slow I try to check and this app just gives up on slow connections The Cisco speed test runs fine It seems like any time it s slow like 100 to 200 Kbps typical provider speed for the questionable 4g around here the FCC app is FAIL on all tests Given that it tosses out all slow connections and only works on fast connections I don t see how the data averages can really be very accurate         I can t imagine this app is accurate statistically iseverynictaken

I measured the speed of my network But this app always says there is no data Please fix it     Always there is no data D짜짜짜짜

With the latest upgrade it is only a very bright white screen Sorry     It is now a flashlight Maine Street

This speed test reports to the FCC We should all use it to ensure the posted speed and support Net Neutrality                 Keep your ISP honest Hjhfddryhhxd

Won t run Tells me my data is all used up for the month I m using an iPad Air on Wi Fi at home Then when I say run it anyway the little circles go round and round and round and round and round     Boo Hiss fred farquart

Even though I am in DC area app usually tests a New York server instead of a Washington server Speed results are very poor relative to other speed test apps even when using DC server Routinely gives upload speeds of 3 4 Mbps over wifi while other apps give 14 17 Down loads around 11 while other apps give 17 20     Poor performance Tom B42

Verizon FiOS ISP was having some issues that caused the app to hang forever several times when about 3 4 of the way through the download test Inconsistent upload results speedtest app shows 40Mbps upload but FCC shows 5Mbps It is possible that MBps is being displayed instead of the labeled Mbps Download speed seems to track pretty well though This app chooses the nearest test server inconsistently I am in NY it regularly chooses Washington and Chicago and sometimes NY Would be nice to have a real time indication of the measured throughput rather than having to wait until each test is completed I am happy to have the FCC get the speed data and wonder if they could include packet shaping tests and tests to common servers to keep tabs on peering health and ISP honesty Good start but room for improvement             Nice start but softeky

I tried several times to get the test to complete on an iPad Air with Wi Fi but it never did All my other test apps work OK Deleted     Newest version still no good bjshourt
