### 4/5 — Like it very much...

*2025-05-16, version 6.4*

Like the App very much... got it from beginning...  paid for the full version (unfortunately the Update doesn’t stick, means, after re-boot the App is back like before and I have to “restore purchases” to get the few extra features... pity - otherwise good App

### 4/5 — Efficient data usage app right here

*2022-06-21, version 6.4*

It is affordable and it works. I need say no more.

### 3/5 — Not great

*2021-08-29, version 6.4*

A bit glitchy. Could do with an update. Usage chart doesn’t fit on screen properly. Could probably do with an update.

### 3/5 — Help.

*2021-05-15, version 6.4*

App has worked well for a year but is now dangerously falling behind on my actual used data.  I found that I can correct my usage but this is not a safe options for the long term.

### 4/5 — リクエスト！マルチSIMに対応して！

*2021-04-15, version 6.4*

まだ開発してる人いるなら、リクエストします。

現状だとシングルSIMについては正確なデータ使用率が計測できて良いのですが、最近は物理SIMとeSIMの両方を使用している人も増えていると思うので、マルチSIMへの対応をお願いしたいです！きっと需要あると思います！
‼️‼️‼️

### 1/5 — Fail to alarming me over data

*2021-04-08, version 6.4*

I set the alarm for all level and it failed all. I have to change to another app. I can not find the customer support

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-04-06, version 6.4*

Last updated 3 years ago. No longer works. Don’t touch this app

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2021-04-01, version 6.4*

It used to keep track of my data but thi month it didn’t earn me that my Wi-Fi was off and that I was using my data. I had to open the app and then it refreshed the stats. Also, it didn’t seem to be in sync with my billing cycle.

### 1/5 — Badge display doesn’t work

*2021-01-16, version 6.4*

No badge displayed after enable the function on iOS 14

### 1/5 — STAY AWAY. No recent update or developer support

*2020-11-07, version 6.4*

This app was my go to app to monitor my cellular data usage and it was working well. Even upgraded to the pro version. Last update was 2 years ago and in iOS 14, badge monitoring doesn’t work anymore. Most frustrating, developer seems to have vanished and there is no way to get support. Stay away.

### 1/5 — El badge no muestra el porcentaje de datos

*2020-11-05, version 6.4*

La pagina de soporte no existe y hace meses o años que el badge no muestra el porcentaje de datos consumidos. No hay forma de resolverlo solo y pague por la opcion pro. Estuve muy contento con la app por un tiempo pero ahora me siento estafado

### 3/5 — Can’t get tech support

*2020-10-03, version 6.4*

I’ve been using this app for many years and even paid for it back in the day. Unfortunately no longer records mobile usage in history and can’t get any reply from their tech support.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr richtig

*2020-09-24, version 6.4*

App setzt beim schließen den Mobildaten-Zähler immer auf Null zurück, wenn eine „Custom period“ eingestellt wird.
Blöderweise das Pro-Update gekauft, hilft aber nix.
App ist wohl verwaist, Hersteller-Webseiten gibts wohl nicht mehr.

### 1/5 — Does not count correctly

*2020-09-23, version 6.4*

I downloaded this app because my carrier overcharge if I exceed my package. But app says I used 5gb and carrier says I used 7.... so if it doesn’t count all data usage correctly it will not help me from being overcharged...

### 1/5 — Wrong information

*2020-09-20, version 6.4*

The app said I had used 38% of my data where in actuality I had used 80%. As of right now this app has cost me money. After writing this review I will be deleting this useless money costing app.

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-11-13, version 6.4*

Any updates for the app to bring it up to speed with the latest IOS updates?? App doesn’t even track WiFi anymore on my phone!

### 1/5 — No help.

*2023-11-10, version 6.4*

The help link takes you to an unsecured page, so you’re out of luck. 
Is the app abandoned?

### 1/5 — No pierda su dinero

*2023-11-01, version 6.4*

La aplicación no mide de forma precisa el consumo de datos.
Solonl adquirí dado q en iPhone no hay una forma de que automáticamente se resetee la medición de consumo cada corte de mi plan móvil.
Me di cuenta q mientras mi teléfono me dice que tengo un consumo de unos 10G, esta app apenas reporta un consumo de 1.x G.
Peor aún no hay soporte y la web del desarrollador parece ya no existir.
Ahórrese su plata, explore otras apps, o como yo hago ahora cada mes de corte de su plan móvil resetee manualmente el contador de su teléfono.

### 1/5 — useless

*2022-12-10, version 6.4*

you just see the total data used. No breakdown by application. For me this is completely useless as if you go in Settings Mobile data you have much more information.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-07-10, version 6.4*

I have been using this app for the last two weeks and it has not given me data usage logs right one time. I have to adjust usage every time I open the app. It’s not tracking usage correctly when compared with the service provider usage logs.
Even if it costs so low, I’d say it’s not worth it. Skip this one.

### 1/5 — No funciona en iPhone 8

*2022-02-15, version 6.4*

En iPhone 6 me funcionaba muy bien, 

cuando cambie a iPhone 8 dejo de funcionar el medidor de celular 

pero el de wifi sigue funcionando correctamente mostrando el tráfico y las notificaciones

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2021-08-02, version 6.4*

Last update was a long time ago

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-07-14, version 6.4*

It’s scam ..app doesn’t do anything and they keep taking money out through iTunes

### 1/5 — Not working properly + developer’s website doesn’t exist.

*2021-07-10, version 6.4*

the features are buggy and inaccurate, even after upgrading to the pro version with another payment. Plus there is no way to contact the developer and the developer’s website doesn’t exist...

And what’s the difference between the Pro Upgrade of this app and the Data Usage Pro app?

### 1/5 — Meh...

*2021-04-18, version 6.4*

Used to be a sweet app. Then the little usage badge thing stopped working - the best thing about it, and they haven’t updates it for over 3 years. Probably more, by the time you’re reading this.

Ah well. Next?

### 5/5 — Muy útil y funcional

*2024-09-29, version 6.4*

Excelente app, todo funciona bien, y me ayuda a gestionar mis consumos de una forma muy eficiente, recomendable.

### 5/5 — Does

*2024-08-17, version 6.4*

What it says. It’s good.

### 5/5 — Zuverlässig & Stabil

*2024-07-22, version 6.4*

Ich mag diese App. Sie misst bei mir schon seit Jahren zuverlässig und live den Datenverkehr. Die Messungen decken sich grds. mit den Angaben des Mobilfunkanbieters. Es gibt einige nützliche Einstellmöglichkeiten, zwar auf englisch, aber alles selbsterklärend. Und etwas wirklich positives: Data Usage kommt als kostenlose App nach wie vor komplett ohne Werbung aus.  
Dafür gibt‘s einen extra Stern ⭐️

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2021-03-03, version 6.4*

Belle application, simple d’usage, indispensable pour éviter tout dépassement de forfait (Tu n’auras plus mon pognon, Free...)

### 5/5 — Tidy and complete

*2020-12-11, version 6.4*

Once you get the right settings in, it is very dependable.

### 5/5 — Parfait 👍

*2020-08-09, version 6.4*

Une très bonne application à bas prix qui fait très bien son boulot.
Certes l’interface est en anglais mais il ne faut pas être parfaitement bilingue pour comprendre ! 

Je recommande

### 5/5 — User

*2020-04-24, version 6.4*

Works good for me!

### 5/5 — Good Tracking

*2020-04-12, version 6.4*

Essential app!

### 5/5 — Rey

*2020-03-03, version 6.4*

The best data tracking app ever. Is always accurate, and is always working

### 5/5 — Update erforderlich

*2019-09-27, version 6.4*

Sehr zufrieden mit der App. 
Allerdings ist dringend ein Update aufgrund iOS 13.1 erforderlich. Die App meldet bei jedem Öffnen einen usage alert obwohl die bei den getätigten Einstellungen nicht der Fall sein dürfte.
