TripMode reviews

"It has a really nice user interface, it's very easy"

John Gruber

"One of my favorite Mac utilities is TripMode"

Jason Snell

"Apple’s OS X does not have a “metered connection” setting built in, but you can monitor and manage network connections and downloads with third-party tools like TripMode"

J. D. Biersdorfer

"The first version received 4.5 mice, because there was and remains nothing quite like it for the data-usage-conscious traveler. This revision improves on every aspect, and deserves a 5 mice rating."
