I’m still rating this a 3 because I like this app so much, but these bugs need to be addressed FAST. If your speed is 95, the needle point back at like 0 or 5. So if your speed is being measured as 30,the needle points to the exact other side of th dial and says soething like 400. But the new “added feature” of this current release is that the indicater needle on the dial now points in the 180 degree opposite direction of the measurement. Now it is set to 500 and there’s no way to change it. You used ot be abe to calibrate the dial so that….for example….if your connections are generally in the range of 0-100 mbps, you could set the top end of the dial to 100. The most recentupdate has some obvious bugs that I can t beleive they did not catch before releasingthis to the public. I love this app and have used it for a longtime. Best speed testing app out there and also the prettiest interface IMHO. I appreciate their super-fast attention to this. The major bugs disussed below were fixed by the developer only a day after they were reported.
