I have used and enjoyed SpeedTest for quite a long time now, but they now have combined Downdetector into SpeedTest and we have lost functions of Down Detector. You can now only save 3 favorites. I hope they change it to allow saving more favorites. After more review, the Downdetector portion of Speedtest has lost many more features like map of area reporting the outage. I hope they include all the features of Downdetector app into the SpeedTest app. It is almost useless now.

It's good, but wish I could add more than 3 favorites to Down detector like I had with the actual app. I could at least know when more of my favorites being down quicker than scrolling through the entire list. I get that the one having trouble will be at the top, but can you by chance make it where we can add more than 3? Is there a subscription to do in order to do more than 3 favorites?

This is a great app. All their features are free to use, and easy to understand. The adds do not affect the user experience, but are still easily visible to users! The paid version of the app offers advanced features for a low price. The VPN is secure and free for 2GB, which is great! A paid version is available with unlimited usage, and it's way cheaper than mainstream VPNs. Great app, well done developers!
