Reviews from the App Store
Simple and effective. Does what it says. I will run the test in a meeting when trying to illustrate page load problems. I can show the developers a problem in realtime. The cool sound effects are, well, cool.
This little app tells you the ping time of your website over various network types. Simple and useful.
It's super easy and convenient to click this app and see if my website is up, rather than loading Safari and going to the site.
About Scott's Pinger: Uptime Monitor
From the developer of Unit Converter: Mila's Tools (Apple Staff Pick, 4.8★ from 1,300+ reviews), Scott's Pinger is an uptime monitor for iPhone that checks your websites, APIs, and HTTP endpoints on a schedule you control. See status, response time, and HTTP codes at a glance - and get push alerts the moment something fails or recovers.
Monitor from your phone
Add any HTTP or HTTPS URL - production site, API endpoint, staging server, or personal blog. Scott's Pinger measures time to first byte on each check without downloading full page content. A performance gauge rates speed and breaks down DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server processing. Built-in tips suggest concrete fixes when results look off.

Cloud monitoring tiers
Cloud monitoring runs 24/7 even when the app is closed. Starter covers 5 URLs with checks every 30 minutes and 7-day history - ideal for a personal site or two.

All three tiers send push notifications on failure and recovery.
