There is no other no-root firewall offering all these features.
Why does InternetGuard top the data usage chart?
It’s an illusion. InternetGuard uses your device’s VPN package to create a firewall. As every data packet sent or received by your apps passes through the VPN, all the incoming and outgoing data traffic gets attributed to InternetGuard.

The good part, however, is that InternetGuard now comes with its own Data Usage feature which allows you to check data usage for each app. To view the usage, choose Data Usage from the home screen.

ATTENTIONS:
1. This app is based on VPN interface, which is the only way to implement the firewall on no-root devices. It works as the proxy between the common apps and the servers. The app doesn't steal your data or send even one bit of its own.

Ratings and reviews

It's a five star experience for me. The app works so well on my phone. I can now disable data connection on apps I'm not using and it saves me lots of data. The feature that blocks adult websites is the icing on the cake for me. Kudos to those behind the app. The app drains my battery faster if not optimised and you may have to improve on that but overall I love the app's performance.

Had problems during the first setup and it had to reinstalled and reboot phone. It worked properly second time with some minor adjustments. You can configure the app to block connections when the screen is off it's something i wanted. You can also set filters to block access to specific addresses. It's a brilliant app and greatly recommend it.

I barely started using this app and it already asks me to rate it - way too soon. Some adds are almost fullscreen, preventing usage of the app until closed by tapping ridiculously small close button - VERY annoying. There is additional (unnecessary) settings button in lower right corner of the screen, overlapping wifi and mobile access buttons - what is it doing there is a question that even sages would have difficulty answering. Now I want to test how well this app actually works... :)
