Pingmon - network ping monitor analisi dell'app per 23 dicembre

Pingmon (Ping test monitor) is an ad-free graphical tool for measuring and monitoring the quality of the Internet or local networks, including Wi-Fi, 3G/LTE. This utility visualizes and vocalizes the results of the ping command, helping you assess network quality (QoS) based on real-time statistics. When do you need a ping test? - If you suspect an unstable connection or occasional drops in internet quality. - If online games, Zoom, or Skype start lagging, and you need to confirm the issue. - If YouTube or streaming services freeze, and quick internet speed tests don’t provide the full picture. How to prove to technical support that you have network issues if your game lags or YouTube stutters from time to time? Short "internet speed tests" don’t give an objective picture of network quality over longer periods. Use this test to check how stable your ping is over several minutes or hours, and then send the log and connection statistics to your support team. All your test results are saved and will be available at any time. If you have critical network resources, Pingmon allows you to test the connection to them using any available protocol: ICMP, TCP, or HTTP (for monitoring web resource availability). To ensure your gaming experience isn’t ruined, you need to know the basic parameters of game servers (ping latency, jitter, packet loss). Pingmon will calculate these and tell you how suitable the server is for gaming. For added convenience, the ping window can be displayed directly over your game. The graphical ping test is not only more visual and user-friendly than running the ping command from the command line but also displays real-time network statistics. In addition to the graph, the internet test will show an estimated connection quality for gaming, VoIP, and video streaming. With the widget, you will always have the most recent network quality values in front of you. For convenience, the program can also vocalize network errors and/or successful pings. Install widgets on your home screen to monitor the status of multiple hosts simultaneously. The widgets support light and dark themes, and their size can be customized to suit your needs by adjusting the amount of information displayed. Test of net works equally well with Wi-Fi, 4G, local networks, and the internet. Enjoy using it! Important: this ping monitoring does not replace programms for checking network bandwidth (Internet speed), but can be used in conjunction with them to fully assess the quality of the network. Permissions To display the type of connected network (for example 3G/LTE), the application requests permission to access phone state. You can deny this permission — the app will still function, but the network type will not be displayed or logged. The foreground service is required to keep continuous ping monitoring running in the background. The notification is always visible to the user. Users can stop the monitoring at any time from the notification. For Android 14 and above, the app requests permission to show this notification to ensure user awareness and control. This background measurement process represents the core and user-visible functionality of Pingmon, and therefore requires the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE permission.
