Instructions

Test Broadcasting Quality:

Place Retro Ping next to your computer while using streaming platforms like Skype, Zoom, or Hangouts. With Retro Ping, you can determine if it's the right time to impress your boss or if you should stay silent due to a poor connection that might lead to audio cutting out and embarrassment.

Test Game Server Connectivity:

If you're playing games like League of Legends, CS GO, or Fortnite, keep Retro Ping running on your phone placed in its charging dock. This way, you'll know whether it's the opportune moment to make your move in the game or if you should wait due to high latency.

Test Your WiFi Skillz!

Retro Ping can be used to test and optimize your WiFi environment. Simply connect your phone to your WiFi and walk around your location with Retro Ping running to check the signal strength. If necessary, make adjustments such as moving antennas or a 14.4k modem until you achieve a lightning-fast connection. You're on the right track if you can load webpages faster than you can drink a Tab.

Test Your Cell Reception:

Are you experiencing difficulties accessing certain websites, even with a strong cell signal? Retro Ping can help you identify areas with potential interference. Walk around while monitoring Retro Ping to pinpoint where the signal strength drops or improves.

How does Retro Ping work?

Retro Ping conducts latency tests every 0.25 seconds for real-time results.
Running this test won't impact your bandwidth as it utilizes minimal network resources.
The app pings the Cloudflare DNS resolver (1.1.1.1), which directs you to the nearest DNS server, enabling worldwide functionality (Cloudflare has servers in over 200 cities and 90+ countries).

To conclude, while video may have killed the radio star, Retro Ping ensures it won't kill your internet experience!
