Trying to Find Speedtest App (Android)


[link to this post]
 
A few years ago I used a speedtest app and this speedtest app would record your location on a map. This app would also display others speedtest results/averages and this would allow you to see what others in your area are achieving and also display there ISP, I can't remember the damn name of the app to find, install and use. Does anyone know which app this could be, I know it use to be very popular?

Sorry for being so vague, thanks in advance.

Apart from it not being an app, you've given a perfect description of the thinkbroadband speedtest (which will run in a browser on any device) and map: https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/index.php?tab=...

Isn't that the "development" version.

The thinkbroadband Main Site link is https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest

For that, and I think the one you gave, to record your own tests in your Profile, not just on the map, you need to be logged in on the Main Site.

Connections: OnePlus 8 Pro on Three 4+ (LTE)/5G and at home Three Mobile, with (Three)ZTE MF286D router giving about 113/20Mbps.

Not that app, but a very good WiFi testing app is the free Ubiquiti WiFiman app. Does do speed tests, WiFi scanning and discovery, network discovery and a bunch of Bluetooth stuff as well.

I gave the link to the map from the menu on the main site. There's no link to the map from the speed test page.
