Why did we make GlassWire for Android?
We wanted a similar network monitoring application for our own Android phones but we were shocked to find a lot of the data usage apps we tested sent quite a bit of data over the network themselves.

We worked long and hard to create this first version of GlassWire for Android that’s 100% free with no in-app purchases or ads.

GlassWire for Android makes it easy to keep track of your mobile carrier data usage and WiFi Internet activity.

Key features:
  • See a live graph of what apps are currently using your carrier data, or slowing your Internet connection.
  • Instantly know every time a new app accesses the network and begins using your data.
  • Go back in time with GlassWire’s graph to see what apps wasted your data earlier in the week or month.
  • GlassWire’s data alerts help keep you under your data limit. Get alerted before you reach your carrier data limit to avoid costly overage fees.
  • GlassWire reveals unusual network activity from unknown apps or malware that could be violating your privacy or spying on you.
  • GlassWire counts your mobile carrier data (Edge, 3G, 46, 5G, LTE, CDMA, UMTS, GSM, GPRS, mobile hotspots) and shows you detailed usage statistics on GlassWire’s “Usage” screen, along with your WiFi data. See your mobile phone provider data for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile, Virgin, Vodafone, Orange, EE, 3, Swisscom, Telia, Movistar, O2, and all others.
  • See data usage for different apps like Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Pokemon Go, Netflix, Youtube, Instagram, Pandora, Spotify, Pinterest, Whatsapp, Skype, Kik, and any other apps you use.

Thanks Spawn, I ticked yes, I own Pro, but I don't always have it in use on my PC.
I heard this was coming, but forgot all about it, so I am glad you posted this :)
I will download it now and give it a once over.
Very Cool share Spawn ;)

Your GlassWire data usage and app usage information never leaves your phone. We could not see or access your app usage even if we wanted to. Plus, we’re not an advertising or marketing company. We only make money through sales of premium versions of our software.
This is the information I wanted to hear, no real privacy issue it seems.

I'll pass... run at startup is lazy and unnecessary and the other permissions if not needed should not be there at all. Maybe they will improve it and I will try it out eventually/later
