Android Data Traffic Monitor

Most recently, I have been trying out the Android application "Data Traffic Monitor". At first, I was a little skeptical because it was not the most popular, but it had good ratings none the less. This application has, like most programs, a paid and free version with the free version having a 4.2/5 rating with 673 ratings. I have been testing the free version.

Having used this application for a week and comparing it to others I have used, I would rate this application over others because it seems to be more reliable. The other applications I have used had certain features fail to log data because I used a AOSP version of Android (Android Open Source Project). This one does not seem to fail like the others do and logs my data correctly. The main feature I liked most was the notification in the Android drop down because it was minimalistic and simple. The consisted of a bar that filled up according to how much data you have used. It also told you how much data you used total.

Once you open Data Traffic Monitor you have 3 main tabs that you can see above in the second picture : monitor and control, instantaneous, settings. The application itself is pretty self explanatory and very direct with its use. The settings tab lets you change your settings  such as billing date, resetting used traffic, notifications etc. You can even see individual data usage. The only thing Data Traffic Monitor lacks is the ability to monitor 4g. At the moment the free version only monitors 2G/3G and wifi data traffic.

I would recommend this application especially to a user who has a non standard version of Android installed.
