Again, that is software for an OS X computer, not an iOS device.


iStat for iOS, like any network speed test or traffic app, shows information in the app itself when that app is running. It cannot and does not change the iOS home screen or have any ability to show the speed all the time when other apps are active and in use. So no, iStat does not do what the OP asked for.

OS X and iOS are radically different operating systems when it comes to that kind of thing. iOS is a highly segregated, or sand boxed system where for the most part, 3rd party apps have no access at all to the core operating system and file system, nor to each other. Even when apps use system wide data, like location information, they get it by asking for it from an OS component (location services) and do not have direct access to the underlying hardware and firmware.
