Have been using this paid app for quite sometime without any problem until my phone have been upgraded to Lollipop. My two phones with Lollipop OS have problem with the data connection toggle. The other 3 toggles - Wifi, Bluetooth and Silent are working fine. I don't know if the rest have the same problem as I don't use them. The data connection toggle doesn't work at all. Wrote to the developer but have not heard from them. I am getting frustrated with developer like this who want only your money but the customer service is almost non existent. If there is a problem and you are unable to answer all emails, the least you could do is to acknowledge the problem in your website and give us a timeline for the rectification.

Blah, in need of update One star until you fix it for android 5.0 I like the app but quit using it because it lacks functionality now
★★☆☆☆
Data button doesn't work! Just updated to the lollipop and now the DATA Button does nothing .
★★☆☆☆
Turning off data problems I have been using this app for years. The latest update broke the ability to directly turn off data using widget in earlier versions of Android. Now about 3 or 4 clicks and excessive navigation to turn off data when previously on the same version of Android, was one click only on the widget. Please fix. Off to find and restore a previous version of extended controls. Warning do not update until fixed.
