Bandwidth+ App Reviews

Working and easy. Just pefect for me.

Zero configuration app to monitor your cellular/personal hotspot data on the go. Great!

Sorry, the app is greatly done, But there is no option to switch text colors to white if you have a dark theme on your mac. Also when you open up the menu, it does not close when clicking anywhere else and nothing works.

This is very helpful to see how much data I use on my MacBook Pro. However, I often find it using upwards of 100 MBs of memory, which results in slowdowns of my computer. Why is this?

This is a fantastic menubar tool/icon! Shows you total amount of bandwidth used without needing to open up a separate application. You can reset the counter whenever you want (I use this to keep track of tethering usage). It requires no setup, just works.

i like this application, they give me exactly what i want, and it’s very simple to use, so now i can know my usage also i can set a limit for one month :)

very good tracking tool for data consumption which isolate each SSID, so you can even distinguate between real hotspots, some that your know free, some you have quota subscription, and your personal hotspot through iPhone...

Excellent app, works just fine. Just a wish for the future: could there be an indication of what kind of network the phone is? For example, when youre tethering from your iPhone and travelling, it would be great if the menu bar indicated "3G" or "4G". Thanks!

Simplicity! Usability! 5 stars for author!

add the possibility to show download and upload speed at same time and you’re golden. Thanks.

After a while of using the app, I noticed it takes the top spot in activity monitor when sorted by real memory in decending order - over 500MB. I killed it and restarted - it took less than 10 MB. Wait an hour - and its back to over 100MB. This looks like a serious memory leak! Also, there does not seem to be a way to view the consumption on a monthly basis or export the data - that is critical to be able to properly control monthly caps.

Thanks Harold Chu for making this. I have been needing an app that monitors and displays how much I have been downloading on each network for the day. I really appreciate how it automatically switches based on the network I am using. You rock!

Easy to use Very comprehensive :) Nice way to keep track of how much network activity is being used :) Loads really fast :) I have been looking for an app that would record how much storage is being uploaded and downloaded, and able to keep track of that info for an entire month, This app does just that ;)

I actually desperately needed a application for this. My roommates and myself had troubles in the past monitoring our monthly usage and this was quite helpful to know how much I use. The resent update with the Monthly usage was really nice, hopefully it will work like a charm. Sometimes when I browse and I do certain things the download starts going up like crazy, so its a little scary. I would like to be able to see a log of my usage during the month and also a list of things that use a lot of bandwidth. Its a good app, the interface could be nicer tho.

So easy to use and set up limit tracking.

Ok, I thought this is a good application, but after using it for a more than a month, Ive found some flaws, first it washes off all reccords once you end the month. There is no way to change this. Ive bought my Bandwidth which has a 6 month expiration period, but the App doesnt have such a feature, it only supports monthly based bandwidth consumption. there should be an option to adjust the time period from monthly to 3 month, 6 month and yearly, just like most ISP plan options. Another annoying thing is the auto startup at log in, not functioning always as it should, sometimes the app wont start automatically, and you would have to start it manually.

Have only used the app for an hour or so, but my time zone on my system clock changed in that duration and as a result, the bandwidth counter reset. :-(

and ITs FREE ;P

Works as advertised. Would like the option to not have the counter icon in the toolbar. Also would like to be able to manually add bandwidth I have used either while the app was not running, or before it was installed. Looking forward to future versions.

Ive been trying to use this to keep track of my data while using my iPhone tethered via USB for my connection. It keeps jumping up suddenly to 4.01GB data in and 4.01GB data out, for 8GB total. Somethings wrong. I know thats not "wi-fi" but it says its tracking it, so either it shouldnt show up or it should track it accurately.
