Speed tests show what your network could do. BufferBeat shows what it actually does — real buffering from real YouTube sessions, mapped by location and carrier.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
Tap Start YouTube Test. BufferBeat opens YouTube and measures your video experience over a 2-minute session in the background.
Advanced frame analysis detects every buffer event in real-time, measuring duration, frozen frames, and correlating each event with your cell signal and GPS location.
Your anonymous data joins the public heatmap and helps the community. See where video quality is great — and where it breaks — by carrier, network type, and time of day.
