Bandwidth+ App Reviews

I just started using an internet service that allows me 10gigs per month. Before getting the modem, I searched the Apple App Store for something that would help measure my daily bandwith usage so that I wouldnt go over my allotted gigs. I found this app for FREE (cant beat the price) so I decided to give it a try. It automatically intalls in my top menu bar, gives me a constant read of my bandwidth usage in realtime and you can also save a CSV file that gives you a data flow chart of your daily usage. Great little app and thank you Harold Chu for your work.

We use AT&T WiFi at 5GB a month for our home computer. This is an excellent and simple program. You have a varitiy of ways to moniter your bandwidth, daily usage or speed is shown in the upper menu bar and with a simple click you get your monthly usage which will reset at whatever date of the month you select. So far it has worked great and has been accurate + or - 10MB.

All I wanted was a basic upload/download counter, that stayed in the corner and showed me what bandwidth I was using. This app is absolutely perfect: minimal, does the job, I love it. You should charge for it, I would pay.

Simple, basic and does what it says perfectly, all that I wanted.

Does exactly what I want (and a little more). Definitely 5 stars for the price. There is one little glitch where the monthly network names don’t appear until you fiddle around with some things (not sure what it was exactly, but I got it to show).

Thank you for the time and effeort spent in making this simple yet effective app. It does exactly as it says: tracks UL DL usage per WiFi or tethered connection over time.

It just what I needed it show my data tranfer amount in a easy to understand way, if it could only discriminate internet usage and local usage (file transfer, time capsule, etc) it would be great, for now 4 stars if this is added I will give 5 stars on the spot

Was looking for a simple way to monitor my tethering usage. This app was very easy to see how much I was using. It does have some simple drawbacks as other users have mentioned, but for a free app is is very useful.

I wish the system came with this option. Very clean and concise, very useful.

I love this app. It’s really great to know how much data my machine is burning up while tethering and stuff. It’s also just a good feeling to know what’s going on. I appreciate that it’s so lightweight and simple too. A+

I’ve been looking at mobile data plans for traveling, and I thought “I wonder how much data I’m using now.” Within one minute I google searched how to monitor that for macs, this came up, I downloaded it, clicked open and it was telling me how much data I’m using. It’s how you want (and these days, I guess expect) everything to setup and run. Zero hassle. Do it to it, fellas.

I have two different internet connections at home. One is unlimited and the other has a daily limit. This app gives me peace of mind being able to see how much data is being used. Very nice that it is simple and easy to see right at the top of the screen.

There was a minor confusion when I first used it, while trying to setup monthly usage in preferences. But that fixed itself once the app detected some usage on the current network. I like how simple an unintrusive this little app is. Thanks for making it.

Could never get app to load. Support link only leads to Facebook page which is of no help. I am running 10.10.5 on an early 2014 MBA with i7 & 8 GB RAM.

this is awesome.. I didn’t aware of this thing .. my background applications are actually draining my internet limit.. can you please add some features of … what application is actually using more internet? Thank you and love you

Handy little tool :)

just as advertised !! Thanks man i would have paid $.99 for this - start charging

This app totals uploads, downloads or both and can give you upload and download speed. Very informative. One minor suggestion: The app gives daily and monthly totals; it would be helpful if the starting date or the number of days since the beginning of the measurement was shown.
