Ping!

Unsure why you can't access a website? Ping! is a sleek, lightweight app that lets you see if a website is actually down or if your connection is the problem. Ping! sends requests to an independent host to determine whether the website you are trying to access is actually down or not.

Monitors

Create monitors to watch the status of your favourite websites and notify you if they go down or come back up. Set up expiration dates so they stop running automatically when you no longer need them. Simply set them and forget - Ping! will intelligently let you know if their status changes.

Material Design

Ping! was written to take full advantage of the visual elements provided in Android 5.0 Lollipop with material design. Plenty of ripple effects, elevated views, bright colors, and elegant icons are present.

Efficiency

Designed from the bottom up with efficiency in mind, Ping! intelligently schedules its network activity and processes together with the rest of your device to use minimal battery life. Data use, as well, is kept to an absolute minimum so those with very small data plans won't even notice Ping!'s usage.
