## What is Databit?

Once you ran out of data, your carrier charges you for every extra MB. The problem? You are unsure when you reach the limit. Our solution? Databit.

Databit allows you to visualize in real time your data usage. Just swipe right on your device’s lock screen or tap to open the app. Making use of your device’s 64-bit architecture, Databit delivers a precision up to 1 byte, the same precision used by your mobile carrier.

Is your mobile carrier really honest?

We hope so, yet you can’t be sure. Not tracking your data consumption allows mobile carriers to charge you extra for nothing without you even knowing. 

Or what’s worse… are you paying for a service you are not using at its maximum? 

If your data usage is way lower than your plan’s limit you can downgrade to a smaller plan. That’s an instant money saver your mobile carrier doesn’t want you to know.

We’ve received over 1,692 emails from people from around the world telling us their concerns, data plans, experiences with mobile carriers and app feedback. The result? We’ve crafted a robust yet friendly app to monitor your data usage. 

Features:
• Real time metrics
• Receive notifications when your data is low
• Extended daily usage chart
• Export all your history in CSV format
• Daily usage chart
• Two available widgets
• Automatically reset the data on the billing day
• Calibrate the app manually if needed
• Dark mode
• Minimalist design. No useless information in the screen.
• Works for all carriers. (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Claro, Orange, etc.)
• Track LTE, 4G, 3G and EDGE
• Ideal for Personal Hotspot measuring

Advanced features (also included):
• 1000 or 1024 bytes conversion
• Option to ignore upload data

Don’t wait another minute and let Databit help you make savings on your data plan.

### 5/5 — 产品非常好

*2026-04-14*

要是能够加入实时网速就更完美了

### 4/5 — Macht was es soll

*2026-03-22*

Da die App die Daten scheinbar nicht in Echtzeit verarbeitet, ist der Alarm manchmal recht spät.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-12-16, version 2.5.0*

Just perfect

### 5/5 — Love the design

*2025-11-24*

Great app. I use it all the time, also on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Müll

*2025-02-12*

Ich wollte eigentlich sehen, wieviel Datenvolumen ich wöchentlich habe. Aber diese App ist Müll. Da steht der Zeiger immer auf volles Volumen und ändert sich nicht. Dafür Geld gezahlt

### 4/5 — Needs longer/more cycle reset options.

*2025-01-05, version 2.5.0*

My entire family uses Databit, and is happy with it.  

I am a new user and I look forward to its benefits, as it would help me monitor data usage when streaming movies while I’m on the road.  

However I immediately found a small issue during set up.  

My plan is on a 90 day cycle, however I can only select up to 50 days for the cycle reset. Therefore I have to split my reset either in 1/2 (45 days) or in 1/3 (30 days).

If this small issue could be fixed, so that I could select the full 90 days, it would be greatly appreciated.

### 2/5 — Nice

*2024-10-11, version 2.5.0*

Please add an option or widget with inverted value (consumed instead of remaining) and an option to chose the widget color and background color. Thanks a lot… Update : there is a design bug on the widget the graph is the invert on the displayed text percentage which is not obvious :( it should match the text… I will update my review to 5 once fixed. Thanks again

### 2/5 — ungenaue Messung

*2024-10-08*

Leider ist die Messung der verbrauchten Megabyte Daten ungenau.

### 2/5 — Pas exact

*2024-10-06*

Conso data ne correspond pas avec le compteur de Sosh! Il peut y a voir de grand écarts!

### 5/5 — Simple yet efficient

*2024-10-05, version 2.5.0*

Does the job I want it to do without complicated useless features
