I am not normally a data user as I try to use WiFi wherever I am. With that said, it is nice to have data available when I need it. I have a 2GB plan for that very reason. With that said, my husband was using my phone to look at an app I have for voice recording and saw this app next to it and opened it. He asked me what I had been doing to already use half of my data usage in one day. I told him nothing than I normally do. After doing some research, I found out it is this app using the data. This is from the list coming directly from my phone. Not much of a data tracker if it is using most of it. Until I can get either a better tracker or this one quits eating data, it is not going to remain part of my phone for much longer. I have only been using for 7 days. Half of my data used up. No other app even comes close.

I’ve been using My Data Manager for quite some time, mostly just to keep track of my data usage. I found it very useful for that, especially the alarms, because I’m on a prepaid plan. But I hadn’t enabled the VPN (for no reason that I can recall) but, after a conversation with a friend a couple of months ago, I decided to enable it (hey, it’s free). One thing I noticed right off the bat, most of those horrible inserted browser ads, that throw video at you and are so difficult to get rid of, pretty much disappeared. That in itself would be enough to recommend using the VPN, but I’ve recently noticed that (probably due to blocking those ads) I’m using data a lot more slowly than I used to. I buy 2 GB at a time for three months, which would typically last me two. But that was OK. However, now, there’s only about three weeks left in my current period, and I still have over 1.3 GB of available data. I consider that quite a bonus. There is a downside, it takes a little longer to make a https connection. But a small price to pay, I feel. Thank you, My Data Manager.
