I have been using Speedtest for a number of years, but in the last couple of days it crashes every time I try it. Same on my wife's phone. Anyone noticed issues, or could try it?

I see there was an update on the 29th July so possibly that introduced a bug. I have emailed the devs but no response as yet.

Okay for me today before, and after the update. S22 Ultra, connected via wifi, Spark fibre connection. Also fine via 2Degrees mobile data.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Yes, and also uninstalled and reinstalled.

Weird, just tried it with wifi off and it works fine to the mobile network, so looks like something in my network shuts it down.

Thanks for the replies by the way.

Are you using the Speedtest app or are you browsing to it in Chrome (or whatever browser you have) and are both ways failing?

I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to.

App. I have tried the web and it works fine. I am running a Ubiquiti network so possibly someone doesn't play well, although its only been the last couple of days and I haven't updated anything within the network.

So it appears it was an issue with my wifi network.

Rebooted the switch and power cycled the POE APs and the app runs fine again. Had a power cut a couple days ago so maybe the network didn't restore correctly.

Seems weird though that what ever it was would shut the app down instead of throwing up an error.
