Data Usage

Dopleraider

It’s handy to see how much data is left until it starts to s l o w d o w n. I use it to gauge whether I need to be downloading my podcasts and music before going out or if I’ll just stream it. It has a simple job and it does it well.

Works well

A nice app

Jus one option missing

You have the option to add usage but not to adjust the usage or or take out usage. The data usage you guys show me is always higher than what I’m actually at.

Great app, questionable IAP/pricing model

Sharks6

[Updated August 26th, 2019] Well, the developer finally removed all of the redundant in-app purchases - but now the only purchasing option is a .99¢ a month subscription. “But you get to keep the old features you paid for” doesn’t mean anything when you up your prices. They bundled all their features into a new IAP, meaning if you already paid for most of the features then you’re being charged for them again. In this case, I already have access to 90% of the features - meaning I can pay a monthly subscription to gain access to features I already paid for? However the dev tries to spin it, it’s simple: your pricing isn’t considerate of previously paying users. This dev is absurd. After insisting there was nothing they could do for users who paid for the same features more once, they’re trying to do the exact the same thing once more. It goes to show you they only care about monetization and couldn’t care less about their users. By the way, the original price of this app with all features was $2.99 - what an absolute rip-off. [Edit July 17th, 2019] Developer asked me to reach out to them in the reply below, as you can see. I actually had already contacted them before writing this review to see if I was missing any features or content in regards to what the IAP contained. During my first support contact, they confirmed I did not and offered no solution or alternative, saying it was better for new customers - which is obviously true. I asked them why they didn’t consider implementing an upgrade option for previously paying customers, like COUNTLESS other apps have, and they said they’d take my feedback. I asked once more if there was anything they could do for me, and they said verbatim: “You may contact App Store for any refunds.” showing they really care about their customers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I messaged them again as they asked here, and after chatting they realized I was the same person and said the exact same thing: they bundled them all together, request a refund. The app is great, but I’ll never purchase from this developer again and will seek other data management apps. [Original Review] Buyer beware: if you’ve paid for any of the previous in app purchases to unlock more features, they’ve all been bundled into one larger IAP now, meaning you’ll end up paying twice if you want them all. Prior to this change you could pick and choose which features you wanted to pay for. There was only one feature I was missing, and I naively believed that the new, larger IAP would include multiple features I didn’t have access to - why else was the app showing me only this one available purchase? It turns out there aren’t any “newer” features, and they’ve all just been rolled up into one IAP. This means I bought two IAPs before the change, and then had to pay the full bundled price just to get one feature I didn’t have - paying again for features I already paid for before the change. None of the verbiage in the app is forthcoming with this information, and there’s no option to upgrade for a lower price and fair price (as I’ve seen in plenty of other apps). Definitely a dishonest business practice, and I will personally be avoiding this developer.

Love this app

It's easy to set up and accurate and the widget for how much data you have left per month makes it easy to track

Great!

This keeps me on track so I don't go over my limit, and so far it has kept track far better than any of the other apps I've tried. The only problem I've run into is that the notifications of how much data I've used (e.g. "You've used 30%") do not show up until I open the app. I've gotten into the habit of opening it to check, but it does not notify me on it's own... Other people I know have the same issue, so I know it's not just me

Perfect Data Usage Monitor

MrDubya64

Finally found the data usage monitor I’ve been searching for. Love everything about this app. It accurately tracks my data usage, it’s constantly updating in the background and it adds my rollover data at the end of each billing cycle. My search for the best data usage monitor is over.
