Checklist

Describe the Feature you'd like

I would like to have a widget of this app, that shows only the mobile data usage. Also I would like to have a bar on the widget, that shows how many data I already used of my plan.

Why do you want this feature?

I want to have a widget that only shows the mobile data usage, because I don't need the wifi data usage and I want to save screen space. The bar is helpful if I want to see quickly how many data usage is left.

You can disable WiFi usage in the widget from the app.

If you have a data plan set, the widget will show you the amount of data left or extra used.

Thank you for your fast answer.

Okay, I found the setting and it's working. But the problem is that the widget is not smaller and takes up unnecessary space. Maybe you could change that in some way. That would be very good.

If you have a data plan set, the widget will show you the amount of data left or extra used.

I know that, but it would be nice if I could see that visually. But if you don't want to implement that, I will accept it.

Will look into it.

For example, with these settings, a height of one "icon" (what do you measure widget height in?) would be enough. Maybe even the "Data usage" text could be removed to save some more space. And one last really tiny thing: that red text doesn't match my blue-ish material you color palette. Don't get me wrong, this app is awesome, by far the best I could find on the Play Store, these are all just some minor things I've noticed.

It looks like the problem, that the widget takes up unnecessary space is fixed.

FunProgramer commented 1 year ago

I don't know why, but the problem is there again now. (🤔 Maybe it's because I installed an Android update)

itsdrnoob commented 1 year ago

The widget would still take up some space depending on the system launcher. Will look into it.

Thanks for this great app! It is the only good one I could find.

I agree that I would also just use it for the mobile data widget, which is missing in Android. Nothing else, warnings are done by the system.

When removing title and wifi info, the widget is still 2x1 in size even though it would fit in 1x1.

Not a huge issue, but would be great to place it in a 1x1 area
