June 2012 - 4:41 by NicNeely You really ought to never pay more than necessary. For example, four tires on a car is a wasteful remnant of the early 2000's unnecessary spending. Motorcycles run just fine on two wheels all the time. Just like an extraneous pair of tires, extra data you don't use on your phone can gnaw away at your bank account. The app of the week is My Data Manager, which tracks data usage so that you can plan ahead for the month. Now there is a growing trend among data providers to cap data usage or throttle speed when you hit a certain limit. Traditionally, the more data you're allowed, the more you allow these providers to riffle through your pockets. What this app can do is to show you the amount of data you use each day, enabling you to make a more educated decision about which data plan to subscribe to. My Data Manager allows you to inspect data usage in a variety of ways. In Data Apps, it shows you how much data each individual app or service is using via mobile, roaming and Wi-Fi, letting you bring swift justice upon frivolous data wasting apps (this function does drain battery power a little more but not much). In Data Graph, it allows you to look at a bar chart showing total data usage via mobile, roaming and Wi-Fi per day, per month or during a plan cycle you've set. At time of testing this app, I found that its other features were coded quite differently between the Android and iOS devices. Using this app for the Android, you can check data usage in a pie chart; while running this app for the iOS, you can view the amount of data you use on a map, with larger dots representing more usage in that area (no idea why this is helpful information though). Besides just courteously reminding you on just how much information you used while bored at your distant relative's wedding, this app on both mobile operating systems can also help you prevent going over the data plan. Through the options menu, you can set alarms or notifications that alert you once you've gone past a certain amount of data usage.
