Nook — Terms of Use

The agreement between you and this app, in plain language.

These terms govern your use of Nook ("the app"), a home Wi-Fi checker for iPhone and Android phones. By installing or using the app you agree to them; if you do not agree, do not use the app. "We" means the publisher of Nook, shown as the seller or developer on Nook's App Store and Google Play pages.

On iPhone, the app is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement together with these terms; where the two differ, these terms apply to the extent the App Store rules allow. On Android, the app is licensed to you under these terms and the Google Play Terms of Service.

What Nook does

  • Room tests measure the connection between your phone and the Nook server: download speed, upload speed and the time small requests take (latency). They describe that connection at that moment; results depend on your Wi-Fi, your internet provider and the path to the server, and can vary from test to test.
  • Quality labels and room reports (Strong, Good, Needs a look) are guidance derived from those figures, not a guarantee of any speed or service.
  • Device lists show devices that announce themselves on your current network. Nook cannot see every device, and names come from the devices themselves or from you.
  • Nook VPN (Nook Plus) connects your phone to a VPN server Nook offers. Server availability, location and speed can change, and a VPN does not make you anonymous or protect you from every threat.

Nook Plus

Nook is free to download. Room tests, room comparisons, diagnosis and device lists work without a subscription. Nook Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription that adds Nook VPN.

  • Nook Plus is offered monthly or yearly. The current price for your country is shown in the app before you buy. There is no free trial.
  • Payment is charged to your Apple Account (iPhone) or your Google Play account (Android) when you confirm the purchase.
  • The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
  • You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings (iPhone) or in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions (Android). Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies.
  • You can restore an active subscription on another phone signed in to the same Apple Account or Google account with "Restore purchases" in the app.

Fair use

  • Use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes and in line with the App Store and Google Play rules.
  • Room tests and VPN credentials have automatic limits that keep the service available for everyone. If a limit is reached, the app asks you to try again later.
  • Do not use the app or Nook VPN for anything unlawful, to attack, scan or overload other systems, to send spam, or to interfere with the app, its servers or other people's use of them.
  • Do not copy, resell or share VPN credentials, or try to reverse engineer the app beyond what applicable law allows.

We may suspend access to Nook VPN for a subscription that breaks these rules.

Privacy

How the app handles information is described in the privacy policy.

Content and intellectual property

The app, its design and its content are licensed to you, not sold. The names you give rooms and devices are yours and stay on your phone.

Disclaimer and liability

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. Room test figures, labels and reports are estimates for guidance, and we do not guarantee that a server, the VPN or any feature will always be available. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under applicable law.

Changes and termination

These terms may be updated as the app evolves; the current version is always published on this page, and continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it; to stop paying for Nook Plus, also cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings or in Google Play.
