### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-05*

Great little app. Shows everything you need to know about your system’s core components.

**Developer response:** Hello Totoptr,

I have added a thermal sensor, since this is an App Store app it is hard to get the temperature in degrees but we can get Apples thermal state which represents temperature as one of four levels. The new 5 year update also includes new menu bar styles and performance improvements. If there is anything more I can add to earn 5 stars, please let me know. It is important to me as an independent developer. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Super pratique

*2025-06-12*

Il en existe beaucoup pour permettre de visualiser les stats, mais celle ci est compacte , agréable, bref .. pour le prix c’est un must, bravo

### 5/5 — Makes me feel like I’m on Linux again

*2025-05-13*

Love the stats app.  That and Bandwidth+ shows me great info about my system’s operation

### 5/5 — 温度表示がありません

*2025-03-26*

まあまあの出来だな　私はこのUIがとても好きです

### 5/5 — Nice and compact

*2024-06-29*

The single, compact icon is really nice. It gives just the right amount of detail for someone who only wants to monitor high level system resource usage. It doesn't take up a bunch of menu bar space like some of the other apps. Only thing I wish is there was an option to use a slighly smaller icon, since it looks a little oversized height wise next to my other menu bar icons like the control center, wifi, bluetooth icons

### 5/5 — Solid!

*2024-03-01*

Simple, clean app. Also a responsive dev who promptly remedied a minor issue I (and possibly others?) had… can't ask for more than that, tbh. 100% satisfied.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review, and thanks again for your help reporting the problem.

### 5/5 — A model for a great utility: simple and elegant

*2024-01-28*

Stats Panle is a classic in evey regard: Easy to use, does nto distract, and compliments my workflow. Installed on all of my Macs from the tip-off!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review! —Andy

### 5/5 — Klein, aber fein

*2024-01-19*

Zeigt alle wichtigen Infos sehr übersichtlich an. Regelmäßige Updates und die App läuft stabil und problemlos. 
Vielen Dank an den Entwickler.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review!

### 5/5 — Basic System Info

*2023-08-03*

Übersichtlich

### 5/5 — Schöne, nützliche App

*2023-04-19*

Macht alles was es soll, es ware schön wenn es das in deutsch geben würde

### 4/5 — Tiny useful app!

*2023-04-16*

Great little app with very little resource usage. One small feature I would like - Swap counter on the list!

**Developer response:** Hey Joshi,
Thanks for your kind review. It’s taken three years, but the latest update has swap count! Plus other new features. I hope you will check it out.
Andy

### 4/5 — Impressive

*2023-04-03*

All of the necessary system performance/resource information needed in a perfectly designed presentation.

**Developer response:** Hey Muay Thai Warrior,
Thanks for your review. I have just updated Stats Panel with a dynamic menu bar icon, support for additional disks and more. I hope you will check it out. Please let me know if there is anything I can add to earn 5 stars. Thanks.

### 2/5 — Leider nur in englisch

*2024-06-23*

Würde mir ein deutsches interface sprach anpassung wünschen.
Auch würde es gut sein ich möchte nur RAM anzeigen lassen, kein balken sondern als Zahl. 
Da geht leider nicht einzustellen. 

Oder das die balkon beannt sind .... 

Sorry , mir fehlt da einiges

**Developer response:** Hello abletonerin,

Final check in. Your requests have been included in a previous update. The interface now supports 🇩🇪 German and you can hide panels you are not interested in. I have just published a new 5 year update with performance improvements and new customisations, I hope you will check it out.

— Andy

### 3/5 — Glitchy (vanished, never to return…)

*2026-05-20*

Unfortunately, a bit glitchy. After fiddling with the settings, the panel disappeared; can’t seem to bring it back. (It is running, maybe a reboot will fix it). Also, doesn’t display CPU load (per-core) just running CPU (average) load, which isn’t really what I’m after. Color themes are not *really* useful; it’s just a solid color rendering. I thought it would be selecting a true theming, e.g., “green -> red” where happy CPU is green, gets progressively more red under load, etc., but no it just changes the menubar icon to green. Meh. All that said, if not for the glitchiness I’d recommend as a basic tool for viewing system stats, reasonably priced (there are better apps, but also way more expensive).

**Developer response:** Hello zbeckham,
Did you find the menu bar item in the end?
It is possible the menu bar icon was hidden due to too many menu bar items. Sometimes moving other icons leftward (command+click and drag) will make space for it. You may have to move a few. Or switch to an app with less menu bar text like Finder.

A new update includes two of your requested features including per core data (on supported Macs) and a dynamic color theme as you describe.

There is also an optional plugin, on supported Macs, that provides temperature, graphics activity and fan speed data.

I hope you will check it out and let me know how you get on.
Andy

### 3/5 — 图标大小不一致

*2025-09-04*

图标比别的app都大一圈，强迫症看了难受

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. Are you referring to the static icon, or one of the dynamic menu bar elements? Please let me know.

A new update includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, for GPU activity, fan speeds and temperature data. There is also an iOS app I just released which should be downloadable too if you are interested.

Thanks.
Andy

### 3/5 — Looking nice, but

*2024-01-19*

this shiny little tool uses way too much cpu cycles. between 15-19% cpu cycles when the menu icon is dynamic. This is way too much. iStat menu uses between 3-6%.
It would be great if the developer could optimize the CPU usage. This drains the battery in the Macbook too much.

**Developer response:** Hi bitSchleuder.

A previous update addressed this issue. Please let me know if it is still a problem.

A new update includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, for GPU activity, fan speeds and temperature data. There is also an iOS app I just released which should be downloadable too if you are interested.

Thanks,

### 3/5 — File Can't Be Found error in Sanoma

*2024-01-19*

This version causes the "File Can't Be Found" pop-up on system start-up if you have the launch on startup selected in the app settings.

**Developer response:** Hi TJWickey,
A previous update should have addressed this issue.

A new update includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, for GPU activity, fan speeds and temperature data. There is also an iOS app I just released which should be downloadable too if you are interested.

Thank you.
— Andy

### 3/5 — Pretty useful but seems to use too much battery

*2022-11-14*

I'm getting about 5% of battery usage being attributed to this which is too high for what it does. Ended up disabling it because of this.

**Developer response:** Hi Vherojeezp,

Just checking in again, I have published the 5 year update which includes big performance improvements which should address your issue. There are also new menu bar styles and other new features since your review, I hope you will check it out and write back in your review to let me know what you think. Thank you!

Andy

### 3/5 — Concise

*2021-06-06*

I like the features it brings with CPU usage, RAM, disk readouts, but it needs temperature as well.  Temperature is a key feature missing and extremely useful when your MAC/PC is running hot under a load - Plainly it needs a Temp readout for the CPU.

**Developer response:** Hello Jar.usmc,

The latest update includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, for GPU activity, fan speeds and temperature data. There is also an iOS app I just released which should be downloadable too if you are interested. I hope you will check it out and let me know how you get on.

Thank you,
Andy

### 3/5 — Guter Anfang

*2020-11-01*

wirklich einfach die App.
In der oberen Statusleiste werden leider keine aktuellen Balken angezeigt über den Zustand des Systems. Man muss das Fenster immer dauerhaft geöffnet lassen um einen Überblick zu erhalten. Ich vermisse die Netzwerkaktivitäten. 
Positiv:
Es verschlingt keine Resourcen wie so andere Pro-Versionen die man käuft und dann doch wieder löschen muss weil sie das System ausbremsen. Wie geschriebem, guter Anfang!

**Developer response:** Hello RolRing2,
The most recent update includes a new optional plugin, for supported Macs, for GPU activity, temperatures and fan speeds. This of course also includes menu bar displays, along with the existing menu bar data. There is also a new iOS Stats Panel app included, if you are interested. I hope you will check it out.
— Andy

### 4/5 — Great Little App

*2025-10-07*

Does almost everything that I want, the only thing missing for me is Fan Speed. If that were added it would be 5 Star App.  A really good example of an App from an Independent Developer that is not going down the subscription route.

**Developer response:** Hello Caveman Network,
Thanks for your review. 
Just to let you know, the latest version includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, which provides fan speeds, GPU activity and temperature data. I hope you will check it out and let me know how you get on.
Andy

### 4/5 — In Ordnung, mehr Daten wären schön

*2025-05-16*

Es wäre schön wenn die App auch die konkreten Temperaturwerte von CPU, GPU etc. ausgeben könnte oder direkt in der Symbolleiste auch %-Werte für CPU/GPU/ANE sehen anzeigen lassen könnte. Daher 4 von 5 Sterne

**Developer response:** Hello ArwedS,
The latest version includes an optional plugin, on supported Macs, which includes GPU activity, temperature data and fan speeds. I hope you will check it out and let me know how you get on.

### 5/5 — eigentlich praktisch

*2026-07-24*

Die App zeigt jetzt nicht nur jede interne und externe Datenquelle an, sondern auch diverse Ordner oder Dateien mit der Endung .backup. Lesbar ist das alles nicht, weil sich alle Zeichen in der schmalen Leiste übereinander legen. dazu legt es selbst eine M2 max CPU lahm. Screenshot kann ich bei Bedarf übermitteln.

P.S. Fehler wurde mit Update behoben. Allerdings weichen die Werte für freien Speicherplatz von den Werten in der Apple Systeminformation deutlich ab. Boot-HD laut Apple 785 GB frei, laut Stats Panel nur 659!

P.S. Mit dem aktuellen Update auf 3.09 ist alles behoben, keinerlei Kritikpunkte mehr. Danke!

**Developer response:** Hello Stones95, just checking in again. I have published a new update with new metrics and features. A previous updated fixed the issue you reported. I hope you will check it out and let me know how you get on. Thank you.
— Andy

### 5/5 — Donne l’essentiel, bravo !

*2026-07-21*

Précédentes remarques sur les I/O et la couleur dynamique prises en compte, merci !

**Developer response:** Hello bizar77400,

I have released 4.0.0 which includes your request, a dynamic theme that changes color based on use, and more new features. Please check if you still have issues with the data at zero, I believe a previous version fixed this but I will investigate if you still experience an issue. Please let me know how you get on.

Thank you,
Andy

### 5/5 — 5 stars all the way

*2026-05-08*

I want an app that gives me the information that I need without using up too many resources… Well this is the one. Well happy with it.

### 5/5 — Mac用メニューバー監視アプリの決定版

とても素晴らしいアプリです。美しく直感的なインターフェイスで、メニューバーからメモリやSSDなどのシステム状態を簡単に確認できます。開発者の対応も非常に迅速で、問題を報告した際にはすぐに修正版をリリースしてくださいました。こうした丁寧なサポートは大変貴重で、とても感謝しています。Macのパフォーマンスをシンプルかつ確実にチェックしたい方に強くおすすめします！

This is an excellent app with a beautiful and intuitive interface. It makes it easy to monitor memory, SSD, and other system stats right from the menu bar.The developer is incredibly responsive—when I reported an issue, it was fixed very quickly with a new update. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated.Highly recommended for anyone who wants a clean and reliable way to monitor their Mac’s performance!

### 5/5 — Top !

*2026-01-18*

rès bonne application ! Stats Panel permet de garder un œil sur les performances du Mac en un coup d’œil, directement depuis la barre de menus. Tout est clair, lisible et simple à comprendre, même sans connaissances techniques. L’app est discrète, rapide et ne ralentit pas l’ordinateur. La personnalisation est un vrai plus, chacun peut afficher uniquement les informations qui lui sont utiles. Une application pratique et fiable pour suivre son Mac au quotidien.

### 5/5 — Excellent minimalist system monitor with lots of options

*2025-12-01*

I was looking for a lightweight system monitor and this fits the bill. It doesn’t take up space in the menu bar, and I can click it to find out all the details I need.

### 5/5 — Spot on !!!

*2025-11-21*

Thanks you for excelling with this tweak and keeping a level headed take with it.  Thanks you

### 5/5 — Well done and useful little tool!

*2025-09-16*

Thank you to the developer for making this available to us. It looks you put a lot of thought and work into this useful utility. It functions well on a MacBook Air M3. Much appreciated and I highly recommended this to anyone looking for a lightweight system monitor. 5***** 10/10
