## Review summary

Data Usage Monitor draws a mix of praise and frustration. Users like its core data-tracking capability and some call it accurate and feature-rich. Yet the most repeated complaints are paywalls: widget features and testing are locked behind premium, with many upset about paying after years of use. Privacy concerns (location access and device permissions) and the lack of background monitoring add to dissatisfaction, along with missing options like range statistics and CSV export. Overall, solid functionality marred by pricing and privacy worries.
