A pretty great packet sniffer that you can filter based on specific apps. There is a slight bug, at least on my Galaxy S4 running LineageOS 14.1, with this app that prevents the whole log being cleared, even after choosing to clear them. It appears cleared until the app is restarted. Old logs are still present. This happens even after deleting cache and data from the Android settings. Also, logging seems to not always happen, even after turning on logging. And, if it logs at all, nothing appears on the Log tab until you go to another screen (such as Settings) and exit out of there. There might be a time that the developer will choose to update the app to get rid of this bug. The app is great when it works.

Great until it stops showing the log entries it's taking (about 10 minutes after installing). Uninstall/reinstall shows the missing entries and then it stops again.

Beyond fantastic. I am using KitKat 4.4.2 and no problems.

Says update not available for this version. If outdated, remove from Google play.

How interesting this is and in this time. It is a reminder of Orwell's "Ninety Eight-Four". Clearly "the devil is in the details" when using applications for what ever purpose, what ever time and includes whom ever. This is amazing and will get "those kids" to take another look of how applications work in the background.

About this app

Requires rooted devices.


ATTENTION: Some versions of Android, especially on Samsung stock ROMs, may have restrictive SELinux policies that may prevent this app from working. We are working hard to resolve or provide workarounds for this.

In the meantime, if you find this app is not working due to permission denied errors when you in fact do have root, it is likely due to a prohibitive SELinux policy being enforced. You can disable SELinux enforcing by executing 'setenforce 0' in a root shell.

Please do not leave a bad rating/review due to the decision of some device ROMs to enforce restrictive SELinux policies. As mentioned, we are working hard to resolve/workaround these issues. Feel free to use the in-app 'Report Bug/Feedback' option to provide useful information to help us out.



Please do not use the reviews to request features or report issues. If you have a request for Language Translations, features or want to report a bug, use the in-app Report Bug/Feedback option or send e-mail to pragma78@gmail.com.


Wondering when and to where your Android apps are connecting across the Internet? Look no further! Network Log is for you!

Network Log monitors iptables-logging to display a real-time list of which apps are making network connections, and provides statistics about those app connections.

★ Real-time log display

The log tab shows the network packets being transmitted and their details such as:

* source and destination addresses/ports
* network protocol and interface
* bytes transmitted
* timestamp

★ Real-time network usage statistics

The Apps tab lists installed applications along with network usage statistics such as:

* total packets and bytes sent
* active network throughput speed in Bps/Kbps/Mbps
* timestamp of last connection
* list of all the unique connections made by each app
* sortable and filterable packets/bytes counters

★ Real-time connection notifications

The statusbar icon's up/down arrows will highlight when upload/download traffic occurs, and the notification drop-down shade displays the connection throughput speed in Kbps.

You can also configure toast pop-up notifications on a per-app basis that will pop-up a temporary notification containing connection details no matter which app you are in.

★ Graphs

Click an app in either tab to see time-lines of its connections.

Select the 'Apps Timeline' menu item to see an over-all time-line of all apps.

Adjustable interval from 1 ms to 48 hours for summing data:

* to see each packet, set to 1 ms
* for Kbps, set to 1 second
* for Kb-per-hour, set to 1 hour; etc

Adjustable pinch-zoomable and scrollable graphs.


Note: While the app itself is designed to use minimal CPU/battery, you can further reduce the CPU/battery use by exiting the app after starting the logging service.
