A usage meter for iOS?

I noticed a Windows version of a download meter. It would be nice to see a meter for iOS.

      MarkJFine - IIRC, the iOS data usage app only tracks 2 things - cellular and 'wi-fi assist' and Apple has (to my knowledge) walled off 3rd party apps from allowing you to track your wi-fi usage. This is just a bit of "last-I-heard".

        I may have misunderstood the question to be a comparison of capabilities between the iOS and desktop applications.


        Perhaps I should have responded that the current iOS app does everything the desktop Usage Meter application does wrt to displaying usage donuts, plan status, data token purchase/availability, plan history graph, and video settings; as well as providing a portable wifi strength gauge (really helpful for finding dead spots in the house, imo) and the ability to review billing info.

         

        Edit: But as you say, the internal iOS ability to measure data usage wrt wireless vs. wifi data does not exist.
