I'm traveling a lot now so need to track my data usage, this app does the trick. I created a widget and configured it to show just data used, so just by unlocking my phone I can see where I'm at in the month. Perfect! Then with a single tap I can open it up and see two arcs indicating progress through the month and progress through my data allotment. Perfect! I wouldn't mind seeing a similar two bar indicator on the widget.

requires too much persimissions and allows no customization without allowing to make phone calls (!!) UPD: > What kind of customization do you miss? Thanks for the answer. I meant here the fact that If you install the widget, it won't let you pass through the installation wizard ("I need your permission"), which requires to set permissions for the phone state, to eventually get to the widget customization screen. My suggestion is to make the read phone state permission optional for the use case when a user wants to monitor mobile internet usage only. I actually set the second permission option, changed the style, and unset it in the android settings later, which confirms that there is no need to make the permission mandatory.

Yes, I wish it was still possible to do this the old fashioned way. The phone permission is to fetch the SIM card ID which is used to query for the data usage.
Thank you for your update. :) I think you're right. I'll make some changes around this. UPD: In practice this fails on some devices, works on some. Even differs on same Android version.

I am updating my review here. Before I said I loved it with no problems and I thought about going with the pro version. I had an issue and I contacted support and support responded back to me the next day and solved the problem immediately. Very inclined to help, this app is simple biut with plenty of features at the same time and it just works! By far the best data counter I've ever used and I just bought the pro! Love the app and look forward to anything else you put out!
