Ping It

Why wait for that "loading icon", if you already know that there's no internet? Now you can check the quality of your internet connection by just looking at the Ping It icon in Status Bar! And not waste your time!

What is Ping It?
Ping It is a network utility that checks the quality of your internet connection. Ping It shows a color coded icon in the status bar.

Ping It measures the time from the moment a message was sent to an IP address or web address until a reply was received by the app. The time measured is called ping value.

The lower the ping value the greater quality of internet connection you have.

 - Notification Icon (Enabled by Default)
 - Message in Notification or Ticker (Accessible from Settings)
 - Pop-up Notification (Accessible from Settings)

How To Check The Quality Of Your Internet Connection?
• By looking at the color of the Notification Icon.
 - Green indicates good connection and red indicates bad connection.

DISCLAIMER
• Ping It may not work in some cases when you are connected with either VPN, a company controlled WiFi connection, or a mobile data connection for a specific mobile service provider.
• You will notice that there is "No network connection" notification even if you have access to the internet.
• This happens because the "ping" command is being blocked by the internet provider.
• Please don't leave low ratings because of this.
