Tracking per-app data usage?
There is an app called My Data Manager that in iOS6 was able to track per-app data usage; unfortunately, that feature isn't available in that app in iOS7.
Does anyone know of any apps that will do this?
Thanks,
Andrew

In iOS 8, cellular data usage is listed beside each app in Settings=>Cellular.
You can also get your carriers app and see how much data has been used. I have Verizon and I use their app to see my data usage. All you have to do is sign into your account on the app and your all set. The Verizon app also has a widget for the slide down notification bar at the top of your screen, so you can see your data usage without going into the app.
While that is correct (I use it as well), it does NOT provide an usage data per app, which is what the OP is looking for.
Hi, yes, I'm aware of that (cellular use).
The problem is that 1) it doesn't reset with billing and 2) it doesn't rank apps by usage.
It may be the only way to do it currently, though...

Yes, but the Verizon app does not show data usage PER APP, as requested in the original post.
Right.
I'm currently using DataMan, which is pretty good and provides data use at a glance, but not per app.
Settings/Cellular shows data usage per app, as Nathan said.
Yes - but as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't automatically reset per billing cycle, and doesn't actually rank them by usage.
However, that might be the only game in town right now...
cheers

Unless you can find something in the app store, that is probably a safe assumption. Your only other option is to use the Settings app Cellular report and make a reminder to reset it when you cycle ends each month. To be frank, except for specific troubleshooting, tracking usage per app isn't all that useful. Your provider doesn't care what app is using the data. It wold be up to you to decide whether or not to turn off cellular access for a specific app, and the built in system will give you all the information you need to do that.
