GameBench releases its free FPS Monitor app to let you monitor professional-grade performance metrics on your device

As the name suggests, the GameBench FPS Monitor app lets users monitor frame rate in real time when gaming, while also detecting janks and displaying battery temperature.

This information is displayed in a floating overlay that appears on the screen after you've completed the GameBench FPS Monitor's setup. Just start the game, press the Play button on the overlay, and the app starts displaying real-time FPS, janks, and battery temperature data while simultaneously recording it. GameBench FPS Monitor

You can stop recording data from the overlay, after which you are presented with the session results, including FPS charts, temperature trends, and total jank count. All your sessions can be accessed from the GameBench FPS Monitor's Dashboard, and if you want, you can share the session results as screenshots.

It's worth noting, though, that while GameBench advertises this app for monitoring gaming performance data, it surprisingly also worked with non-gaming apps, including Instagram and our own official GSMArena app (download it from hereif you haven't checked it out yet).

Another thing worth mentioning is that GameBench has imposed a 5-minute-per-session, 20-minute-per-day usage limit on FPS Monitor. Well, it's a free app with no ads after all, and unlike GameBench Pro, you don't need an account to use it, so some limitations are expected. We find the per-session limit of 5 minutes to be on the lower side, though, and prefer that GameBench impose a limit of 20 minutes per day, as that would enable users to record data for a longer duration. We spoke with GameBench about this and were told they would consider changing the current usage limits based on user feedback. That said, one of our favorite features of the Gamebench FPS Monitor is that it doesn't require root access to your Android device. We also like that it doesn't require a PC to complete the setup, unlike the GameBench Pro setup. Moreover, you don't need to keep the Android device connected to a PC via USB cable when running the FPS Monitor app, which, again, is required for GameBench Pro and is the only complaint we have with this paid tool. However, you must keep your Android device connected to a Wi-Fi network to use the GameBench FPS Monitor. The GameBench FPS Monitor app supports English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese languages.
