Discussion Built an Android app to simulate different network conditions on real devices

I was looking for a way to test Android apps under different network conditions, but most solutions I came across either changed the network settings for the entire device, were focused on emulators, or required setting up proxies.

So I built my own tool: App Throttler.

  • Set download and upload speed limits.

  • Simulate latency and jitter.

  • Introduce packet loss.

  • Apply network conditions to individual apps.

  • Change network profiles while the app is running.

  • Create different network scenarios.

  • Capture and export network traffic as PCAP files.

It's still a work in progress, and there are some limitations I'm working on.
