I am unable to find many (coverage map) of the stated features. 'Help' tells me about the map but not how to get to it. The only map available shows where I am and the location of the connection. Useless. Moreover, the history available on my computer (chrome/Firefox on linux) shows only the 2010 results rather than more recent history. Really disappointed because I've been happy with this app for over a decade. PLUS there is no way to contact the developers on the desktop link.

I use this app frequently to check my download speeds. It has always seemed accurate, never exceeding what I know my system is capable of, but definitely shows me when it slows down. It also has some other features that allow you to test and track activity levels of other networks and apps. I have been using it regularly for almost 7 years now.

Works great for getting an idea of internet performance. Downdetector is nice, but only allowing users to have three favorites is annoying. There are so many frequently used applications that may need checked at any given time, and being able to have more than three of them easily accessible at the top would be more convenient.
