### 1/5 — No Usage Alerts

*2026-08-15, version 26.6*

It used to send push notifications just fine, but then they made that a subscription feature too. So what’s even the point of the single free fixed monthly version, except adding another unnecessary background process and widget to drain the battery⁉️ iOS already tracks data usage by default, even on a per-app basis!

FYI, I had bought their paid app (DataMan Pro) too, but when iOS introduced a new widget overhaul a few years ago, they stopped updating that app and pulled it from the App Store, and made this one a subscription. A subscription for an app that doesn’t even need constant maintenance. But it’s their app, so they can do whatever they want. But to not honor their lifetime subscription is just plain greediness! Why would I ever trust such an app and reward such shady practices by paying for a subscription?!

### 3/5 — 段々ずれる

*2026-07-03*

最初はそこそこ合っていたが最近は数百mb以上ずれる。入れる意味がない。

**Developer response:** We like to help with your issue. This may happen if background app refresh is not active on your phone. Please email support@xvision.me. Thanks.

### 5/5 — 最高

*2026-05-05*

とっても使いやすいアプリです！

**Developer response:** Thanks for your love and support 😍

### 2/5 — 很一般，就是一个流量统计功能，还想多次收费

*2026-04-18, version 26.2*

安装收了0.99，然后如果想分卡管理，又需要订阅……

### 5/5 — 😭

*2026-03-22, version 26.2*

When can the Pro function be decentralised?

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2026-02-27*

Not to expectations. Purchase and uninstalled quite quickly

**Developer response:** We like to help with your issue. FYI you can use the medium widget for iOS Home Screen without a subscription. A sustainable subscription business model will enable us to continue to improve DataMan and make it even more useful to you. You get all the features mentioned on our product page on the App Store. And, as an optional add-on, if you want more advanced features, you can subscribe to our DataMan PRO subscription. You get to try the PRO features for free for 7 days. If you need more info, please email support@xvision.me.

### 4/5 — Geared more toward Cellular Usage

*2026-01-24, version 26.2*

I should have read the description better. I don’t care about cellular usage. I work at a site for an extended period of time and we have Starlink. Each person is granted 3gb of data each day and you basically get in trouble if you go over. So I was hoping to be able to monitor WiFi usage and be able to set a daily alert once it reached a certain amount.

### 1/5 — 精度悪すぎワロタ

*2025-12-22*

2GB以上のズレは擁護のしようがないでしょう。

**Developer response:** We like to help with your issue. This may happen if background app refresh is not active on your phone. Please email support@xvision.me. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Accurate and Simple

*2025-12-04, version 26.0*

The app works well with intuitive settings. Simple view that allows for a quick view on the status of your data.
