Android App: Onavo Count

Isn't it great if data (3G) connection for your mobile phone is unlimited?

You can surf the internet or stream some movie/drama online all the time.

Unfortunately, most things in this world are not free. So does your data plan.

One problem that I used to have, is not knowing how much data connection I have already use and whether should I continue using it or stop, so that I could use it for emergency, just in case.

Well, this problem was eventually solved for me by Onavo, the people behind this brilliant mobile app that let you manage your data plan by using an app call Onavo Count.


When you first install this app, you would have to provide it with a few basic information. Info such as you data plan limit (mine is 3GB) and when should the counting be reset to zero (usually the date of your bill). If there would be a charges for over-usage, there is a column for that too. 




The main page of the data has 4 columns, each one showing different important information. The first column would let you see how much of data that you already use anytime of the month, since the information is calculated in real-time basis. It would tell you if you are managing your data plan well or you are over-using it and have to slow down abit to make sure you stay within the limit of your data plan.


If you press the second column, you would be able to see the data plan advise. It would show you, using a graph, the amount of data you have used on per week basis.




The third column would show you a breakdown on how much data has been used by each app on your smartphone. It would even show the data usage on weekly basis, just to give you an idea how data consuming it is.


The last column would show your usage profile as a whole. It would show the average and would tell you if you are doing great or not.


Best of all, this app is completely free of charge. Yupe, you read it right. Just search it in Google Play Store and you would find it for sure.
