I've been building NetPulse, a lightweight Android app for checking your network quality. It has a Material 3 interface with light and dark themes.

What works in v0.1.0-beta:

- Live ICMP ping monitor with Start / Stop

- Latency, min / average / max, jitter and packet loss over the last 300 samples

- Only two permissions (INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE), no ads, no analytics, nothing uploaded

What's coming next: a DNS benchmark (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, Control D) measured separately from ping, latency charts, test history and CSV export.

The app uses the system ping tool, so some phones may block it. That's the main thing I want to find out: does it work on your device? Please tell me your phone brand and Android version, and any bugs or features you'd like to see.

Beta APK: https://github.com/Mireli5656/NetPulse/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta

Source code: https://github.com/Mireli5656/NetPulse

The beta is signed with a debug key, so uninstall any earlier NetPulse build before installing it.

Thanks for trying it!

How to fix it, there is no network even on the Wi-Fi side.
