Fantastic Monitor

@bink00

When having intermittent internet connection issues, this really helped understand the problems… This should really be part of Activity Monitor!

It is a very good app!

@Go_habs_go

I really like this app. You know exactly what is going on with your internet connection from up to the second 'pings' to connecting to your router with bandwidth info. Beautiful and informative.

Long time user

@hObOHammerFighter

I'm a long time user of Peak Hour and it's one of those apps I can't do without. I have it monitoring my firewall as well as several machines. I even have it setup to monitor different firewalls at different work offices… Love it.

Nice update!

@shamam

Handy tool to check on your bandwidth usage to the internet and on local devices. I've been using this app since version 3 and it continues to improve. The developers are responsive to support requests.

PeakHour is a great utility app

@gsu4

This new version looks great! The subscription price is reasonable. I am generally not a fan of subscriptions, but a reasonable price like this and you can pick longer term generally makes it easier to accept.

Amazing new version!

@BetaTester

The interface is extremely well thought out and so much easier to see at a glance. It also feels so much lighter, like a lot of work has been done to make the code more efficient. Congratulations on an amazing release!
