I Built A Speed Test App for iPhone!
Test your cellular speeds & contribute to a crowdsourced coverage map
FTC: I may earn money if you choose to make a purchase using my links.
Hey,
On March 20th, 2023, almost exactly one year ago, I launched CoverageMap.com with my business partner Trevor.
CoverageMap.com was a website to build crowdsourced maps of cellular coverage.
Trevor and I wanted to put the power into YOUR hands to determine what carrier has the best coverage in your area.
Since we launched:
Over 8,500 people uploaded over 3.5 MILLION speed tests to the crowdsourced Speed Test Map, making it the fastest-growing crowdsourced map of cellular coverage that is public-facing
We built a Coverage Search tool where you can enter your ZIP code and instantly see the #1 carrier in your area
There was just one problem…
It was a pain to contribute data to the coverage map!
To upload data to the crowdsourced Speed Test Map, you had to run a speed test in another app, export your results as a CSV file, email the file to yourself, download the file on your computer, save the file, drag it on to the CoverageMap website––it was a mess!
Trevor and I knew we needed to build a better solution.
So, we did.
After 7 months of hard work, 200+ beta testers, and a LOT of trial and error, I am excited to share…
We built a speed-test app for iPhone!
That’s right.
You can now run a cellular speed test directly within the free Coverage Map app for iPhone.
Each test you run automatically contributes to building the fastest-growing crowdsourced map of cellular coverage that is public-facing!
And Android users, don’t worry!
The Android version is currently in development and will be coming soon.
In addition to making it easier than ever to help build crowdsourced maps, the CoverageMap Speed Test has four key features not found on other apps:
Run recurring tests until a set number or set data amount is reached
Set data usage limits
Share your results on social media without having the numbers cropped out
Map areas with no cell coverage
