"The iPhone app your wireless carrier doesn't want you to see" - CNNMoney

"SwayMarketsis on a mission to hold mobile-phone carriers accountable" - Portfolio.com

"I used this to compare service at both my office and home before signing a new contract. Ended up going with the provider that averaged the best service between the two locations and am very happy with the results." - Customer Review

"Very cool and useful app. Was thinking of switching service now I am for sure!" - Customer Review

"provides a *huge* advantage to consumer decisions" - Customer Review

"Do your fellow carrier sufferers a favor and runs this app around where you live" - Customer Review

-------------------

Have you ever experienced bad service and wanted to throw your phone? Thinking about switching carriers but not sure who's the best for you at home, in the office, and around town? Use CarrierCompare to test your service. Just touch the start screen, and the app analyzes the quality of your service and compares it to results from fellow CarrierCompare users on competing carriers nearby.

Share your results with friends on Facebook and Twitter - every person using CarrierCompare improves its accuracy!

Most importantly, the "Bars" on your phone measure the strength of your signal, but don't take things like network congestion, outages, or carrier-imposed speed reductions into account. CarrierCompare actually rates and ranks your service based on measurements that truly affect your experience.

What's New in Version 1.1

CarrierCompare 1.1 now includes:
-Your carrier's typical performance for your location, including signal strength!
-The ability to run comparisons from Wi-Fi-only devices - try it out on your iPads and iPods
-The ability to show all carriers near you, not just the top two. (including devices roaming in your area)

This version can not measure your on-device signal strength, but will still show you the signal strength of results around you. Luckily, signal strength has only a small and indirect impact on the quality of your data service.

Please visit our website for updates on signal strength and other developments.

Customer Reviews

So-so (3 stars)
Always get "poor service" results no matter where I am.
Poor service, but have never dropped a call, so what does it really mean?

Was Good Until the Update (1 star)
It was fine, now it doesn't work after the update. :-(

Fiction (1 star)
I am in a building that should receive exceptional VZW service. I have tried this app here repeatedly over the last few days, always getting "poor" results. Speedtest.net app rocks a 50ms ping and double digit speeds. Glad it's a free app.
