### 4/5 — Works fine, but…

*2025-07-21*

Needs an update after 7 years. Now we can have e-SIM and more than one data plan. Would be nice to keep history of data usage patterns.

### 4/5 — Another feature

*2025-03-26, version 1.5*

Monthly renwall  with daily usage remainder not just one at a time

### 1/5 — Reminders

*2024-10-14, version 1.5*

This is not reminding me when my phone data is low and needs topping up, it allows for my data to be zero without being informed

### 2/5 — Close but not accurate reads high

*2024-07-30, version 1.5*

Reads higher than calling carrier

### 1/5 — One star

*2024-07-07, version 1.5*

Have used this on and off for a couple of years.
Doesn’t really work. I’ll check it every few days against what my provider says I’ve used and it’s off sometimes gigabytes. 
It has one job, to track cellular data usage, and 
For whatever reason it misses a lot. The interface itself is nice, but if it can’t do what it’s intended to do. 1 star.

### 1/5 — 不準

*2024-04-04, version 1.5*

此款不準，請跳過

### 2/5 — Shows incorrect usage data

*2024-03-08, version 1.5*

I reset everything and compared to what is shown in cellular section in settings. I believe this may not capture software updates which take quite a bit of data. In either case the stats are way off.

### 1/5 — Flawed

*2026-07-24, version 2.2*

All those rave reviews have to be faked - it’s impossible to get past the adding a plan page - no way to enter the details and then dismiss the keyboard. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Unable to create a plan

*2026-05-05, version 2.2*

No matter what I do, I am unable to create a plan to even try out the app. I can enter plan details, but the Save button remains grayed out.

### 1/5 — Требует оплату

*2026-04-05*

Пробный период не работает. Требует оплату.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-01, version 2.1*

Great idea, but won’t allow me to add a plan and start it

### 1/5 — Not very accurate☹️

*2025-10-05, version 2.1*

{update} OK, i’ve given it a month. It’s really a total waste as far as accuracy is concerned. Seems to just be just a way to get ad revenue. Very Sad

### 1/5 — Privacy Concerns

*2025-07-30, version 1.5*

Immediately after opening this app my iPhone alerted me this app wanted to paste from the last app I copied something in. Uh no and I’m deleting your sketchy app.

### 1/5 — 流量方案根本沒有累計？

*2025-02-11, version 1.5*

流量方案根本沒有累計？

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show accurate data usage.

*2025-01-18, version 1.5*

It stays stuck at certain number and ads are too much considering being on iOS.

### 5/5 — Полезное👍

*2026-05-02*

Лично по моёму мнению приложение удобное и выполняет бесплатный функционал пока что 30 минут использования🙂

Плюс: Настройка тарифа , графики траты интернет удобно использовать в отслеживании траты трафика🌐

Минусов; не нашёл🙂

Ну я советую приложение , хоть и оценка 3 вроде выполняет бесплатный функционал🙂👍

*2023-12-17, version 1.5*

I recently switched to O2 in UK. That means, if I go abroad, I have a monthly data roaming allowance of 25 GB. 
UNFORTUNATELY…
Despite O2 being state of the art, the O2 App is positively archaic and seems unable to refresh or give me any kind of up-to-date information after I leave UK shores. 
O2 will contact me when I’ve used 50% of my allowance and again at 80% and again when reaching 100%, but that’s all a bit too hit and miss for my liking. 
That’s where this Data Usage App comes into its’ own. 
After inputting a couple of bits of information, the App can give me a minute by minute breakdown of my usage, meaning that I won’t go over and end up with a huge bill.
I’d recommend this App to anyone travelling abroad. 
Could save you a fortune, and also let’s you ration yourself to 800 MB per day in a 31 day month. (24.8 GB)
Wonderful!
