### 4/5 — Great! One feature request

*2014-09-16, version 1.0.1*

Love using this to track my usage. Wish there was more statistics like which Apps are using the most data. 

(P.S. In iOS 8 it refuses to track anything. Just a tidbit before September 17!)

### 5/5 — App

*2014-08-28, version 1.0*

This is actually pretty awsome!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2014-08-26*

Fantastic app had some stability issues as of lately though no biggie

### 5/5 — Helpful App

*2014-08-25, version 1.0*

Does exactly what it's advertised to do, I love it, would recommend.

### 5/5 — Nice and simple!

*2014-08-25, version 1.0*

Just wanted to know if an alert/notification system is to be added at all?..so that users could receive warnings of data usage %s before the limit is met

### 5/5 — Click install!!

*2014-08-24, version 1.0*

This is the best app ever! I have been able to manage my data so well and not go over my limit ! Love it so much!!!

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!!!!!

*2014-08-24, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Inaccurate data tracking

*2017-11-25, version 1.3.1*

This app has recorded almost twice the actual data download used. Inaccurate and misleading

### 1/5 — Shame

*2016-12-04*

Looks good but gives completely wrong numbers (much higher than actual usage)

### 1/5 — Just updated but still bugs!!!

*2015-04-10, version 1.1*

Thank you for your recent update however now instead of getting large no's randomly appearing you get large negative no's doing the same thing! While you're at it can you also fix the app so you can read everything! ie The 1st line says Tod...  154.37 MB & below that says To... 6.32 GB. I'm assuming they should say Today & Total? Would be nice if you could read what they're supposed to say! :)

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2015-03-17, version 1.0.1*

The app stopped working after 2 days

### 1/5 — Not accurate at all

*2014-11-10, version 1.0.1*

Useless!!! Carrier says 80 mb usage, the app says 500mb. Who should you trust?!

### 2/5 — Looks nice but...

*2015-06-05, version 1.1*

It is giving false measures like previous reviewer said. I woke up this morning with a notification saying I already reached my daily limit while I was sleeping. An entire 1.5gb of data downloaded from nowhere. My other tracker only had 40mb recorded from the previous day

### 2/5 — Bytes

*2015-01-18, version 1.0.1*

Looks sharp but constantly crashes.

### 3/5 — Ads use Dats

*2014-11-16, version 1.0.1*

Just downloaded this app and it seems very good. But I used a mb of data in a few minutes just from the ads!  I'd pay a dollar or two for an ad-free version.

### 4/5 — Good enough

*2016-04-01, version 1.1.1*

I had a hard time finding a free app for my phone on iOS 7 to track data without sharing my information to third parties, but this (so far as I know) is it.

AT&T hasn't been good about giving me data alerts early or detailed enough, and checking my usage for the month usually is an hour or a day behind, so this has cost me overages multiple times.

With Bytes, I don't have that problem, because I can see how much data I've used for the billing cycle (you set the start date) and how much for the current day, so I can keep myself from going over my data. It also gives alerts shortly after going over the average daily data limit.

The alerts could be better, and they could give alerts for when I use up half of the data or 2/3, etc, and I expect that when I do end up using iOS 9 I'll be able to find something better.

One other possible problem is that it seems to over-report my data usage compared to what the phone and AT&T say by a little bit. But better over report than under report.

### 4/5 — Great, but just a suggestion

*2015-10-30, version 1.1.1*

You guys are great! The interface is sleek and clean and very informative! Love the aesthetics and function :). Just a tip, please consider adding the option of displaying a widget for the pull down menu of the iPhone for easy access and information viewing. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Good app to count daily data

*2020-12-25, version 1.3.1*

It must requires some more new updates

### 5/5 — Great simple light data app

*2017-08-17, version 1.3.1*

Was looking for a data tracker which was easy on the battery and light on data. Bytes is just that , and includes a simple widget too. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Best of it's kind :)

*2016-10-16, version 1.2.2*

•works well
•simple

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2015-12-07, version 1.1.1*

I can now keep track of the amount of data I'm using to browse dank memes. Thanks Google!

### 5/5 — Works Well so far

*2015-07-06, version 1.1.1*

I've only had it for a few days but u have no problems with it and it works just fine.

### 5/5 — Simply brilliant, FOR FREE.

*2015-04-10, version 1.1*

I know that I, for one, have always wished for something that could track my data usage, because I always seemed to go overboard. Why nobody else made such an essential app is surprising, but this guy took the opportunity and it's practically perfect. Able to track my cellular and Wifi usage and keep it under the limit for whatever period of time, and it's so simple. That's what I love - the simplicity of this app that makes so many people love it. The design and the functionality. Plus, loving the custom backgrounds 👍😀. Recommended to anyone looking for such an app, AND IT IS FREE.

### 5/5 — Exceptional App

*2015-01-26, version 1.0.1*

This app is what exactly I was looking for.  It is very accurate.  I recently checked the Official MyAt&T app and it was the exact same number as it was in the app.  It makes sure that I won't go above my data plan.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Amazing application

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2014-09-08, version 1.0*

Simple yet neat interface, no adds. Just what i was looking for

### 5/5 — Good work dev.

*2014-09-05, version 1.0*

One of the best and accurate data tracking app
