Iphone 6 . Ios 12.5.1 . Force closes

Question

Does it show apps used or popular apps. This is what confuses me on the scan

Nice job guys

Why did you neuter OONIProbe by removing the middle box test?

Nice for international travel

Not very useful in the states. (Might be in the future, Ajit Pai, etc... #SAVETHEINTERNETFROMATALKINGPOTATOWITHAFIDGETSPINNER

Developers

Need more attention from developers to track and find open ports and … thing’s for vpn companies and make internet more free of filtering

Not a fan of the new update

I’m not a fan of this new update. It takes several minutes of actively waiting on your phone in order to run the tests. I can’t just hit run a few times and execute all the tests

Crashing Problems

1) During tests, specifically website tests, it crashes sometime in the middle, after about 300 sites. Time limit was turned off. iPad Air iOS 12.5.7

2) Page of categories of websites. Ellipses on top right always causes a crash. On this iPad and a newer one too.

The premise is good, but the constant crashing is a bummer.

3) Needs a landscape view orientation.

Great opportunity to volunteer!

This is a great way to contribute to helping internet freedom!

Love the app but

It gets stuck on the "loading" page after you run a test and go to the past test section and hit "view"nothing is showing but " view log" works

Speed rates need to be corrected

Misleading rate of speed in tests reporting speed. Given the numbers being reported, speed should be mbs (megabits per second) not MBs (Mega Bytes per second). To get MBs you would need to divide the reported number by 8.

Outdated tests

Your web connectivity test includes ExtraTorrent.cc, which has not existed since last year, when the admins surprisingly decided to shut the doors without warning. I don't know how many other non-existant sites are listed in your tests but, you should update the lists to make the tests accurate.

Great Internet Connectivity Tool

I am very impressed with this free tool. I have paid apps like Net Analyzer but this free tool offers a bunch of great Internet related data for no charge and the information is easy to understand for the layman.

Informed and assessed. Clear.

Thank you gurus at the Tor Project. Very clear declaration of user risks and legal implications. I especially appreciated the quiz you have to take to prove you understand the risks. By the way, users don't have to run the Web Connectivity test if risks are too high. The Middle Box test and speed test are also useful.

I like it!!!!!

Interesting app. Didnt even know that anybody was checking up on internet censorship, i'm glad to know about this project. It runs just fine for me, except, yes, like the one guy said, the page is blank sometimes, when i try to observe results of the last tests, but the show logs will work.it only lasts a short period and has caused me no distress. I think it just says test is completed before it is or its still compiling results or something silly.

Cnn led me to here

First review

Finally ! Welcome tool that is much needed!

I'd like to thank the Tor Project and its team of developpers for finally coming up with a mobile version of this app. This is much needed, and very much welcome.

OONIProbe looks great. It takes what is a complex tool and makes it easy to deploy tests and find out results. Kudos to all!

A must have !!!

Incredible UI bravo!!!

Features

OONI Probe is developed by the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), a free software project (under The Tor Project) that aims to uncover internet censorship around the world.

With this app, you will examine the blocking of websites and instant messaging apps, measure your network's speed and performance, and check whether systems that could be responsible for censorship and surveillance are in your network.

OONI publishes network measurement data because open data allows third parties to verify OONI findings, conduct independent studies, and answer other research questions.

You can measure the speed and performance of your network by running OONI's implementation of the Network Diagnostic Test (NDT).

OONI Probe tests are also designed to uncover the presence of systems (middleboxes) that could be responsible for censorship and surveillance.
