About this app

GlassWire is the ultimate data usage monitor for Android! Our app makes it easy to monitor your mobile data usage, data limits, and WiFi network activity.
Instantly see what apps are slowing your phone’s Internet connection or wasting your mobile data.

Key features
• GlassWire’s data alerts keep you under your data limit and save you money on your monthly phone bill. Get alerted before you reach your carrier data limit to avoid overage fees.
• See a graph of which apps are currently using your mobile carrier data or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
• Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
• Swipe right to go back in time to see which apps used mobile data earlier in the week or month. See past Wi-Fi or mobile usage by day or month.
• Go to GlassWire's "Data Plan" screen to set up zero-rated apps that won't have their data usage counted against your data plan. GlassWire can also keep track of roaming, and roll-over minutes. Create a data usage widget.
• Check GlassWire’s Speed Meter on its notification bar to quickly see real-time data usage.
• Help protect your privacy and reveal suspicious app activity through GlassWire’s graph.
• Block apps from connecting to the network, or allow or deny new connections before they start with GlassWire’s mobile firewall. Create multiple firewall profiles, one for mobile and one for WiFi.
• Have an unlimited plan? Unfortunately, most ‘unlimited’ plans will throttle you (slow & limit your connection) once you user a certain amount of data. GlassWire can alert you when you start to get throttled.

Protecting your privacy – 20 million users protected!
Our Windows and Android software combined have been downloaded over 20 million times! We make money through sales of our GlassWire for Windows software, not by selling your data to third parties. With GlassWire your data and app usage information never leave your phone. GlassWire will NEVER show you ads or violate your privacy.

Instantly block badly behaving apps with GlassWire’s firewall
Instantly allow or deny new app connections with GlassWire’s new mobile firewall. The Firewall feature is based on a VPN connection (VpnService API) that GlassWire creates to block connections from unwanted applications. GlassWire never uses your personal information for commercial purposes, advertisement, or shares it with third parties.

Supported mobile networks & providers
GlassWire’s data manager features work great with many different mobile data providers and telecoms world-wide including Verizon, T-Mobile, Vodaphone, AT&T, Sprint, Magenta, and Jio. It’s also compatible with 3G, 4G, 5G, Edge, GPRS, Wi-Fi, and most other popular telecommunications networks. GlassWire can also provide you with Internet usage alerts if your Cable, DSL, or Satellite ISP has data caps.

This is THE way to monitor activity in your phone/tablet/PC, etc... Its free to use & better if you pay the small subscription fee. A clear & easy interface and a great firewall (without the need to root your device, if you don't know what rooting is, this is the app for you) 😀 My only issues with the app are due to limitations of Android. They are working on a way around them and the app still deserves a 5* rating. 7* if they find the workaround 😜

So it's a data usage monitor. And that's it, albeit a better than stock one. Gives you the option to block mobile or WiFi access to apps but I think you have to purchase the firewall for it to work. Not sure about that honestly, description is not clear enough. Be nice if you verified that in the about app description . Well giving it 3 *'s for now as I like how it looks and seems pretty clear in usage details. But yeah, if you could clear up wether or not the firewall needs to be installed Ty.

GlassWire first launched only as a data usage monitor with no firewall and no blocking functionality. The app was completely free. This year we launched the firewall feature. The firewall has a free trial, then it's a few dollars to buy if you want to support our work. We're an ad-free tracking-free app so we depend on fans to support our work.

This product is great 👍 it just works and gives you the basic options you may want (including data usage stats) in a modern clean and clear user interface. This product also has some basic visual customization in the way of themes, that can be changed if you have a subscription. Look out for deals on their subscriptions as it can be great value for money if you use GlassWire on PC.🙂
