  • a very useful app indeed. These days I wouldn't be without it... ideal for preventing apps from "phoning home" and sending your data to the developer of whatever app is trying to use your connection for unspecified purposes, or to block adverts and/or other traffic on apps that have no valid reason to use your internet/mobile internet connection. Only issue I have is that sometimes it isn't auto-started when I power on the phone, which I do every few days - as required, although I strongly suspect that this behaviour is due to Android itself or Samsung's implementation of Android. Very easy to use and configure and a well-written app by a developer who cares very much about the high quality of his work! Thanks for a great app Marcel!

  • It's free and works great. However, the app often shutdowns (or sleeps) with modern Android devices which then disables the firewall. The Android OS sometimes will shutoff the app after a long period of inactivity or if lack of RAM (even with Android battery optimizations turned off for the app). The app also doesn't automatically start up on some Android devices after rebooting or turning on. Please update the app to FORCE Android OS to always keep the app active while in the background.

  • Top tier. Widget allows disabling it temporarily when you really want full data access, but it genuinely helps me manage my data usage so much. I'm surprised these settings aren't integrated with Android since they are on iPhone, but this app is even better than iPhone since you can disable WiFi for some of the more pesky apps

  • Seems to work well for the most part. Easy to control what apps have access to mobile or wifi data. However, it is blocking the update function of my phone. I enabled logging and it looks like 'root' is trying to access the internet so I enabled it. It looks like netguard is blocking 'root' even though it's enabled for mobile and wifi. Not sure what's happening.

  • App for people with brain... Works great. Blocking all (system/user) apps from accessing the internet and let me know who they were trying to reach. This app doesn't show any ads. Doesn't send any data to any server. You can use adblocking feature, can verify hosts using ping command. This is an application to protect your privacy and for which the developer receives death threats, so it really works!

  • If you can't root your phone, remove bloatware, or if you can't even disable the apps you'd prefer not run, this app will at least stop the apps getting online in the background, without your knowledge. You can choose to apply universal settings for things like connection permissions, attempt alerts or logs, and easily change a single app setting as needed. Fantastic.
