Pingmon: Ping Test & Monitor のアプリ分析 10月1日

A game lags, a voice call cuts out, the internet drops for a few seconds. Pingmon is a diagnostic tool: it measures continuously and records every outage — when the connection dropped, how often and for how long. It works over mobile data (3G/4G/5G), Wi-Fi and local networks, keeps a history of every measurement, and can run in the background for hours instead of ten seconds. WHEN YOU NEED IT • An online game lags or a voice call breaks up — check ping, jitter and packet loss to the server • Keep watch on a server, router, NAS or camera staying reachable • Aim a 4G/5G antenna or find a spot for the modem — compare connection quality across locations • The internet works "sometimes" — collect evidence for your ISP support team • Find out where in the home Wi-Fi stops holding the connection NO ADS No ads at all — no banners, no video, no interstitials. FEATURES • Ping over ICMP, TCP and HTTP(S): not just the classic ping, but port and web resource availability too • Real-time statistics: current and average ping, minimum and maximum, jitter, packet loss percentage • Connection quality rated separately for gaming, VoIP and video streaming • Latency graph and a detailed log of every single ping • Configurable notifications: choose which events to track and how to be told — sound, vibration or a flashlight blink • Home screen widgets: three sizes, light and dark themes • Floating window over other apps — see your ping right inside the game • Spoken announcements for network errors and successful pings • Test history: every run is saved and available at any time • Export the log to a file — send it to your ISP or open it in a spreadsheet • Network type changes (Wi-Fi to mobile and back) are marked directly in the log • Background operation with a notification: monitoring keeps running while you use other apps • Light and dark themes HOW IT DIFFERS FROM A SPEED TEST A speed test answers "how many megabits". Pingmon answers "is the link stable". A two-second dropout once a minute disrupts a match or a video call, barely affects throughput, and never shows up in a speed test. That is why measurements here run for minutes and hours, and why every result is stored — you can go back to yesterday's outage. WHAT IS FREE Ping over ICMP, real-time statistics and graph, the detailed log, connection quality rating, configurable outage notifications, a home screen widget, background operation, spoken announcements, dark theme. No ads, no subscription. Premium is a one-time purchase that lifts the limits: results history, log export, the floating window, a separate host for each widget, per-widget session history, and ping over TCP and HTTP. PERMISSIONS The network type (3G/LTE/5G) is read from phone state — you can deny this permission and the app keeps working, it just will not show or log the network type. Continuous background monitoring runs as a foreground service with a visible notification you can stop at any moment. Pingmon does not speed up your internet and does not fix dropouts. It answers a different question: whether there is a problem at all, what exactly it is, and how to prove it — with a log of the time and duration of every outage that you can show to your ISP or support team. The app does not replace a speed test — a one-off measurement of throughput — it complements it. Questions and suggestions: pingmon.spprt@gmail.com
