2. Give Necessary Permissions
Allow location and phone access so the app can record your mobile network performance.


3. Use Your Mobile Data (Not Wi-Fi)
Just keep using your phone as you normally would while connected to mobile data.

=>>> watch the video (1min video) and rate your experience

4. Keep the App Running in Background
The app will collect real-time data like signal strength, speed, and latency — no manual input needed.



Why It Matters:
Your participation helps researchers map out network performance across Ethiopia, leading to better telecom services in the future.
