## Review summary

Users praise DataEye for granular per-app data control, data savings, and a built-in VPN, with solid performance when it works. However, reliability issues are common: the app can stop functioning or disappear, updates can remove popups and block notifications, blocking behavior is inconsistent, and status visibility in the notification bar is often poor.

### Pros

- Granular per-app data control (choose which apps can use data or be blocked)
- Significant data savings / helps avoid data waste
- Built-in VPN option for quick, secure connections
- Effective performance when the app is functioning (highly praised when it works)

### Cons

- Unreliable and unstable: stops working after days, glitches, and may disappear or fail to open
- Update regressions: new versions remove/disable popup confirmations and block important notifications
- Inconsistent blocking: sometimes blocks apps only when it wants to, reducing reliability
- Poor notification/status visibility: cannot always see or access controls from the notification bar
