Retro Ping - WiFi Latency Test
Retro Ping is a free iPhone app developed by Ben Sigman in the Utilities & Tools category. It serves as a WiFi latency test, allowing users to determine the quality of their WiFi connection.
The app provides a simple yet effective way to assess network performance. When the connection quality is good, with latency under 100ms, users will be treated to a retro sunset race animation along with a display of the current latency. However, if the connection quality is bad, with latency over 100ms or a timeout, the race stops and a "CONNECTION BAD" message appears.
One standout feature of Retro Ping is its retro vaporwave race animation, which adds a touch of nostalgia to the testing process.
In addition to testing WiFi connection quality, Retro Ping can also be used to assess broadcasting quality during streaming sessions or game server connectivity while playing online games like League of Legends, CS GO, or Fortnite. The app can even be used to test and optimize WiFi environments by walking around with the app running to check signal strength.
Retro Ping runs latency tests every 0.25 seconds, ensuring up-to-date and accurate results. The app utilizes the Cloudflare DNS resolverfor testing, which provides reliable performance across various locations worldwide.
With Retro Ping, users can ensure a smooth and uninterrupted online experience, whether it's for work, gaming, or general internet usage.
