The Speedtest.net Mobile by Ookla app is extremely well designed speed testing app that shows the download and upload speed at which your mobile device is currently operating at. The interface on the Speedtest app engine was recently updated and is much more user friendly, with more statistics then the older engine. There are not very many options within the ap itself, as it does exactly what it is supposed to do and most of that process is completely automated with the exception of you, the user, having to push the begin test button. After the test is run your results will be logged and you may examine the history inside the app to see how consistent the speeds in your area are, as well as, how accurate the results of the speedtest by Ookla are.

As soon as you open the Speedtest.net by Ookla app the interface will load, and based on your phones GPS locator, the speed test will automatically choose the server site closest to you. You may change this in the settings as you wish. Once the begin test button is pushed the initial ping test will begin, then the ping speed will be displayed. Shortly thereafter, the download test will run for approximately 15 seconds or so, and it will be mapped out on a line chart for you. After the download has completed a brief upload speedtest will commence as well. Once both are one your results will be shown, stored in the logs, and then you will have the option of sharing the results with anyone you like.

Overall, this is a great speed test application on the Android market. At the time of this review Speedtest.net Mobile by Ookla was free and comes highly recommended! Thumbs up!
