ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Data Activity Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Utilities & Analyzer has 457 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Network Utilities & Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Data Activity Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Network Utilities & Analyzer ships an update every 6 weeks, Data Activity Widget every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
