Extremely lightweight and simple to use. It does a great job of tracking data usage, but what would be far more useful is if it showed the data transfer rate too. I wish the developer had added this feature too, but since it hasn't seen an update in years, that looks highly unlikely.

On my Oneplus 7T Android 10 its not working, it only shows a notification which just summarizes the whole data received/transmitted nothing more. Great potential but needs update to support latest Android. By any chance is it open-source because I may contribute?

Good app but can be better. Reboot resets the meter, everything else is ok

Another great app from Oasis Feng. This allows you to monitor data used by your apps. You can set it to monitor all traffic (WiFi+Data) or just the Data usage. *edit*also you can set the amount of traffic in bytes before it starts tracking.** Great way to keep better track of your data so you can pinpoint the data hogging app. Bytes Insight and Greenify have taken both top spots of my "must install first" on any new or recently formatted devices. Highly recommended apps!

This app simply doesn't deliver what is promised in the description. On my phone (Samsung S8+ with Android 9) there's only notification, which (even expanded) shows only summarized data traffic. Options in settings panel doesn't work at all and... That's basically it - notification with this general information and settings view with options that doesn't work at all (e.g. per app monitoring).

Best and most lightest app for data usage monetering app with accurate information of usages this is useful for stock android phones which do not have data monetering at notification panels.,👍👍

About this app

Want to know how many bytes were actually used by sharing a photo on Instagram, refreshing the timeline in Facebook, or a full sync of Google Currents? Bytes Insight give you instant observation for short-term network usage, directly on the status-bar!

When network is being actively used, a notification with numerical status-bar indicator will show up and constantly update itself. The indicator will be hidden if network is idle, but you can still find all the statistics in the notification panel.

New version 2.0 brings per-app insights

Besides the overall usage, a new application-level usage statistics is added in verison 2.0! App recently consuming network traffic will be shown directly on the notification. On Android 4.1+, a list of recent traffic consuming apps is included in the expanded notification.

* Light-weight focused implementation in extremely low footprint. Start-on-demand background service for only 3M approximately (vary with devices and Android versions)
* Absolutely ZERO memory and battery consumption when network is inactive.
* Hide status-bar indicator when network is not being actively used.
* Selectively monitor only cellular (mobile network) data traffic or all network traffic.
* Per-app usage statistics within expandable notification. (expandable only on Android 4.1+)
* Minor traffic (sensitivity configurable) will not be notified.
* Click the notification to reset the traffic statistics (on Android pre-4.1) or additional actions on notification for quick reset and settings (on Android 4.1+).

New features

Version 2.2
* Fixed per-app stats in Android 4.3.

Version 2.12
* Fixed a rare crash reported by users.
* Minor improvements.

Version 2.11
* No longer need "package update" receiver on Android 3.1+, for slightly improved device experience.
