LOL Ping Test - Android Apps on Google Play

Most people check there ping with terminal commands and reading the cryptics output. In case some of you are interested, like I was, there's an Android App that does it for you with 1 button. Pretty slick, you just press a single button and it pings ACTUAL riot servers, and explains the results. No fussing around in terminal.

Anyhow, it's called "LOL Ping Test," it's here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freelance_webs.lolpingtest&hl=en

Posting this for the MYRIAD droves of people using terminal to ping and not understanding what the heck is going on haha. Orr, you might understand it perfectly fine but want a faster solution.

The manual ping test people do can be made into a batch file which lets you do your test with 1 button (just an icon that you click). I use;

cd c:/windows/system32 ping 104.160.131.1 -t pause

I don't think the data it displays if cryptic at all. It says how many packets were lost, and min/max/average ping. The side benefit to doing it yourself is that you know you aren't getting any malware using it.
