I used this app once. I thought my speeds were good. Saw a thread with other results from other members. Quickly removed app from iPhone.
Ok, so when you're in a totally un-known city and you have 2 wifi networks and 3 cellular bars available in your hotel, which network do you use?
That speedtest app / site is all a big scam to collect data and info about users and their phones. I refuse to take part in it. My privacy is important to me.
You're a scam.
Insulting me and calling me names does not contribute to the discussion in any positive way whatsoever.
Yeah I use this, its the best of the three or four i've downloaded from the app store.
And your claiming massive fraud by a well-known entity with no proof provided does?
Assumptions can be made upon many things. Such as the look of food means it tastes bad, color of hair makes a person bad, or even price of tea in china.
However the lack of proof does not automatically nullify them.
At one time, our government used to work for the people. Yet we know it now works for corporations. Proof? Eh... Yet we still vote, but only for a 2 party system in which said government endorses and resists additional new parties.
I don't agree with his statement, but I won't nullify it simply because of a belief that I have is different than his/hers.
Who said anything about nullifying it?
You'll notice I said nothing about his original post. I only responded after he criticized the other poster for not contributing to the thread properly.
That was the issue, not his opinion.
Speedtest app does not have access to anything outside its own program. You can verify this using some basic dev tools.
In iOS 5 and below it can access the address book, IP addresses of the device, camera roll, and location.
Speedtest app isnt a app written by the CIA to pull data off the phone to track people though or whatever is being assumed here. When the topic starts to change to a conspiracy theory either for marketing or government agendas its just that a theory brought on by the lack of understanding....the brain filling in the gaps. However if someone cared to learn some dev code only the facts would be left...

I'm not saying its impossible it CANT do devious things. I'm just saying it doesnt....
Lets use the logic Small White Car did, you know the one I replied to.
Where's your proof? See how it goes both ways? Just I was saying.
Which means all opinions have a certain validity.
