only 5,000 downloads? (it pisses me off more people don't pay for the pro versions of apps. if you pay nothing, you should expect nothing) day by day, week by week, month by month this app is helping me block apps trying to send my usage data various places and using my resources (battery, ram, bandwidth, etc) to do it. they then sell what was never theirs to take to larger data miners, who sells to other data miners, .... & eventually various strangers to me know more about me than i do myself. sadly, that's a best case scenario. other connections it's blocking could have much worse intentions & outcomes. keeping this activity in check is well worth the price of admission. pay the good developers and buy the pro versions of apps when available. it's the least we can do.

Thank you for your review. Appreciate it. Update: It could be a bug. If you see a header "Thanks for your support" in the help screen, then you have donate version.

AFWall+ is probably one of the most important apps on my phone. I like how I can leave an app's wireless capabilities off by default, essentially sandboxing it before allowing it to access the internet. My primary use case, however, is disabling access to data on my media apps. Without AFWall+, I would have drained all the data on my limited phone plan countless times. Definitely earned my donation, I've saved way more than $5.

UPDATE: Keeps getting better! PREV: AFWall+ is an essential app for the security and privacy conscious. I've used it for several years and am grateful to ukpriya (dev) for his/her/their work! If you're reading this, you should know that as of this writing, the app is still being actively maintained and it is well worth purchasing the donate version. If you seek to regain control of your device, this is one for your toolbox!
