The Speedtest.net app is undoubtedly the quickest and easiest way to test your broadband and data speeds on your iOS devices — and it’s completely free. And thanks to its latest update, it’s better than ever before. The app now has a brand new look which supports the iPhone 5’s larger display (finally!) and a number of new features.

The Speedtest.net app used to look a lot like the website, but not anymore. It now has a kind of futuristic look that’s a little more colorful than before, with bright neon dials and buttons.

For the first time, you can sort all of your previous results by type, time, speeds, and ping. And if you tap on one of your previous results, you’ll be able to see the location where it was recorded.

The update makes it easier to share your test results, with the ability to send them via email, Facebook, Twitter, and Messages. You also have the option to remove the advertisements with a $0.99 in-app purchase.

The Speedtest.net app is free, and it’s available to download from the App Store now — just hit the source link below.
