The upload limit I had put was not removed when uninstalling. Now my device internet is slow and installing this app again to remove the speed restriction has no effect because app can't find the rule it had set anymore. The rule is there, but can't be seen nor removed. Edit: had already done what dev suggested before coming here to post the first time. Solved by erasing system, dalvik & cache partition, then reflashing. U really want me doing that video proving the bug don't u? Why I would lie?

It just simply did not worked. I set up the rule for my mobile connection, it had options like up.rate twice, don't know whats that supposed to mean but I set both of them to 100KBps but it didn't throttled the connection. And even after I enabled it for the apps, still did not worked. All in all a confusing app, did not worked, But let's see how it goes.

This app is total hoax... Don't install! It does not work at all and they ask for short term free subscription with your credit card... But even after you uninstall app they continue to take money from your account... Every week they kept taking money from my account... Without my permission... I would give 0 stars but google won't allow me! This kind of apps should not have purchase options Useless and harmful! After 2nd reply of developers: I have tried claim refunds but no options on menus!

Works very nicely on the Redmi 4A. It's pretty much easy to set the rules (and I mean you can set many rules and decide which one now). The app also gives advice on how to set the appropriate upload speed for the preffered download speed. I would definitely recommend. Another thing is that there no intrusive (in-your-face) adverts

This app was working nice but now it has limited my internet speed and I'm still using tge same 24kb/sec please do something I'm using the most updated version but still I'm not able to get my internet speed back. I would give a five star if you solve my problem.Edit1:no I dont have any problem with the 24kb per second I'm just saying that I'm not able to use the real speed ofthe internet I've even tried deleting the app but still this app made my tethering hotspot connection very slow

Sadly not working, custom rom: AOSP extended, android version: 9, root: yes (magisk). Edit1: thx for fast response but no I didn't hide root for the app. (xiaomi redmi note 4x mido). Edit2: yep, that's how I tested it every time. When I turned on data and off wifi, app notifies me, that the rules are applied but the speed is still too fast (in Mbps).
