May 12, 2010 10:41 PM in response to TexasElGuapoby Jim VanLeeuwen,No, there isn't.
When you connect you iPad to iTunes, you can view the total apps size in the capacity bar at the bottom of the main window.
If you want to know the size requirement for a specific app, go to your iTunes App Library and select the app. Open the "Get Info" window (File > Get Info) and see the size in the Get Info Summary tab. -

If I want to know the size of "Pages" app, I can see it takes 33.1 MB on the ipad. -
May 13, 2010 7:41 AM in response to TexasElGuapoby Glorfindeal,Under Settings/General/About it gives a break down of how many of each type of media you have on the iPad, your total capacity and total available capacity. Other than that, you need to use iTunes Store or check the actual file.

Jun 11, 2011 8:15 AM in response to TexasElGuapoby john_austin,I'll re-ask the question. Is there an app that will show how much storage each app is taking on the iPad, this would include data stored by the app (which is not included in "Get Info"). If not an app, maybe a PC-based tool?
My iPad shows 5.3GB storage usage by apps and I would like to identify which app(s) data are using the space. I have apps such as GoodReader and DropBox that store data on the iPad. I have deleted the data in these apps, but the storage has not declined - so I may need to uninstall and reinstall certain apps. Identifying the "large users" of storage would be helpful.

Aug 17, 2011 9:04 AM in response to john_austinby Isaac from Pasadena,I am looking for the same thing but for my iPhone. I'm running out of room and I'd like to know what to delete. Here is a link to another article with several links embeded of the same conversation:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3211634?start=0&tstart=0
& if your iDevice is JB: http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/737666-find-out-how-much-space-each -app-takes-up.html
But just like not having groups in contacts I think this is another issue Apple is going to ignore forever.

Aug 17, 2011 10:15 AM in response to TexasElGuapoby jordanpw,They're not ignoring it forever. In iOS 5 there is a Usage area in Settngs where you can see how much space is being taken up by each installed app. It also lets you drill down to see how much space is used by an app's program files and by its documents / data.
Unfortunately I don't know any method (including via 3rd party apps like DiskAid and similar) to see this info at the moment.

Feb 17, 2013 12:32 PM in response to john_austinby michael714,I know this thread is very old, but it's still the one I found when I googled this question today. So, I can confirm that with iOS6 you can find app usage/storage size data by going to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Storage.
Very useful to me!
