If you  are a Speedtest.net addict like me, and if you happen to have an iOS device, the internet speed testing app for iOS got a huge update including a all new UI and support for iPhone 5. In the above screenshot you can see the new app UI which shows how the iPhone 5 is clocking crazy fast speeds over Vodafone’s 3G network here in Chennai. You can even share the speedtest result from within the app to Twitter, Facebook, email and SMS.

There is even an option to remove ads if you pay $1 or Rs.55. Much needed update for this app which is very useful when testing network speeds. If you already have the app installed on your iPhone, you must have the update notification within the app store.

Here is the change log in the speedtest.net app version 3.0

– Completely new interface with full iPhone 5 support
– Option to permanently remove advertising
– Easier result sharing
– Improved server selection and saving
– Sortable results
– See your testing location in results detail
– This release is English only and translations will come in the next update

Here is the old UI for a reference, looks pretty boring now!

Sadly only the iOS version has been updated and the Android app has not got any update. Hopefully, the android app also should be updated to the new UI.
