Data Usage Pro App Displaying Erroneous Results
GSL42
The The Data Usage Pro (DUP) app sometimes gives erroneous results. For example, on 02/27/19, my cellular service provider recorded a data usage of 86,638.8 KB. For the same period, the total usage show on DUP app jumped from 2,552,800.19 KB to 4,053,349.06 KB, indicating a usage of 1,500,548.87 KB. Sometimes the DUP app will display a correct total monthly usage but show an incorrect value for the amount for the daily usage. Please correct this problem. The app is installed on an iPad 3 running iOS 9.3.5 and the version is v6.4
The usage badge is gone, support seems non-existent
DebDAB123
The badge stopped working, making the app pretty useless. And when you click on the link for support, it takes you to an expired webpage...Worked well before that. I deleted and re-downloaded, all my saved settings were gone, but the badge still does not show up.
Needs an update - 2020

As of January 2020 needs an update - no longer reporting correctly under current iOS.
No longer works

Used to be a great app but it’s not accurate anymore; shows 0 data usage for cellular & wifi for months now. No updates in years; seems to be abandoned.
Not for iPhone 11
HowJan
This app, as far as I can tell, has not been updated for 2 years. Notification badges do not work for the iPhone 11.
Solid measurement

It keeps me in check for data overages, which happen less and less now. It’s simple to use and gives me an indicator of when something’s burning more data than the indicator of battery usage shows as a drain.
Long time user, but doesn’t grab all the data usage
ReggieM3
I’ve been such a long time user of this app and for many years it closely reflected my actual data usage, but sometime around iOS 10-11 it stopped being accurate. The monthly cellular reports stopped. I can only jump to my WiFi usage from previous months. Secondly, I’ve tested the accuracy by downloading tv shows and movies, noting my “before” data usage and “after” with the file size of what was downloaded. From this, I can clearly see that it’s not giving me an accurate result. It’s reporting my usage way under, which now that I’m back on an unlimited data plan doesn’t matter too much, would have gotten me into some overage with my provider before. It doesn’t seem to grab data being downloaded within apps. I am thinking of deleting this app and walking away from it soon, unless a total revamp is done.
Bugs
jasoncschen
Usage data shown in the widget is inaccurate. It is only updated after each time I launch the main app. Also, the main app uses fullscreen mode which is totally unnecessary for an app like this and only causes inconvenience. Lastly, there's an obvious bug in the settings tab: The back button disappears when I go back from the "Quota Unit" menu. This disallows me going back to the top menu. Hopefully these will get fixed/reconsidered in future version.
Love it!

This app works great! I have unlimited data with my carrier; so, I just use this app to see how badly I am sticking it to the man. That having been said, it is a very thorough and useful app.
