Description
Monitor your real-time internet speed with an always-visible overlay that works on any app. Unlike traditional speed tests that only show periodic measurements, Internet Speed Meter provides continuous monitoring while you game, stream, browse, or use any application.
Why Internet Speed Meter? Traditional speed tests show maximum speeds using synthetic benchmarks. They don't show what matters - your actual performance while using real apps. Internet Speed Meter displays live upload and download speeds based on actual data usage, giving you accurate insights during gaming, streaming, downloads, and browsing.
Overlay Display See real-time speed directly on your screen while using any app. The customizable overlay stays visible whether gaming, watching videos, or browsing. Position it anywhere and adjust size, color, and transparency to match your preferences.
Real-Time Speed Monitoring Track upload and download speeds continuously. No need to run periodic tests - use your apps normally and see exactly how fast your connection performs.
Universal Network Support Works with WiFi, 4G, 5G, and LTE networks. Monitor connection quality on any network type to understand performance differences and identify issues.
VPN Compatible Accurately measures internet speed when using VPN services. Many speed meters fail with VPN connections, but Internet Speed Meter provides reliable measurements regardless of your privacy setup.
Data Usage Tracking Monitor daily and monthly data consumption alongside speed metrics. Track how much data you're using to avoid overage charges and identify data-consuming applications.
Active App Detection - Premium The Premium version identifies which apps are currently using your internet connection. Detect background data consumers and troubleshoot network issues effectively.
Lightweight Design Optimized for minimal battery and memory usage. Continuous monitoring doesn't mean battery drain - engineered for efficiency.
Who Is This For? Gamers: Monitor connection stability during gameplay without switching apps. See if lag is caused by network issues.
Video Streamers: Check if your network can handle HD or 4K streaming. Identify buffering issues before they interrupt viewing.
Mobile Data Users: Track actual speeds from your carrier to verify advertised performance. Valuable for MVNO users concerned about throttling.
VPN Users: Measure true connection speed through VPN encryption. Know how much your VPN affects performance.
Network Troubleshooting: Real-time diagnostics identify connectivity problems. See when speeds drop and correlate with activities.
How It Works Enable overlay permission in Android settings, then activate the monitor. The speed indicator appears showing current upload and download speeds. Customize appearance and position through settings. The overlay remains visible across all apps.
For less intrusive display, speeds can show in the notification area.
What Makes Us Different Unlike traditional speed tests that run periodic tests to external servers, Internet Speed Meter measures actual data usage in real-time. You see genuine network performance while using real applications, not synthetic benchmark results.
The overlay capability sets Internet Speed Meter apart from notification-only competitors. See network speed without pulling down notifications or switching apps.
Privacy & Permissions Location permission is required to display WiFi network names (SSID), as mandated by Android. This permission is used solely for SSID display - no location data collected or transmitted. Background permission ensures stable operation.

Could you please add a "hide when less than xyz speed"
★★★★☆تامر فكري· May 20, 2022
I liked this application very much, but I have a question about how to hide the monitor when there is no internet connection and make it disappear automatically. If this feature is not available, please add it in the next update. Where the monitor is useless as long as there is no internet connection. Please consider this feature in mind. Best regards

One of my favorite apps. Easy to see when connected and on Wi-Fi or data + download and upload speed. EASY PEASY

If it doesn't work, or stops working, or features don't work, (they actually do). Check notification permissions of your device against app noti permissions within app settings, fix contradictions. Check task killers, greenify, device autos top apps after no activity. Check for contradictions in perms between Device Task Killers, Autos top; Exclude, Exempt, or Whitelist app. You know yourself if you tinker with Device Settings, the fix is there. Don't install many apps at one time. It's chaos.

Hey. Is it possible to add more features like more sensitivity that it shows for the pro users the app icons at its slightest network usage? Let's say there's a connection of 2kbps, and it will show which apps are using the net. I'm really disappointed, and I felt I wasted my money on pro feature that works 10% of the time. Icons only shows up when it wants. Even though there's a constant update on uploads and downloads. Icons are not constantly showing up! I want the icons to keep showing.

I had to take a screenshot for something. So, I swiped left LAUNCH THE MONITOR to turn it off. After that, I want to turn it on again by swiping right again but nope. It said to give it location permission. I gave all the permissions but nope. I love this app so freaking much. I have used this for at least a decade for most of my devices. I feel kinda lost now to be honest. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail. Also, tried to change data to Wi-Fi and vice versa. Please help.

Requires permissions that it has no logical reason to need. Yes Google should add a separate permission for SSIDs, so I don't need to give up my entire location, but it doesn't NEED the SSID just to show my bandwidth.
