Good data management app?

kelvarnsen — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:55:00 GMT

Can anyone recommend a good mobile data management app for android? The one built into the system doesn't work that great for Public since it only tracks data monthly. Not so great for the 8 months of the year that don't have 30 days.

Edit : Use Billing cycle : custom & Cycle duration 30 days

Another good app for Android is Data Witness and it was written by a Public Mobile customer @IWIK

I second @IWIK's Data Witness. No security issues with it as opposed to various other apps.

It also does 90-day cycles for those on a 90-day plan.

Anyone using My Data Manager, make sure you're clear on their privacy policy: https://www.mydatamanagerapp.com/privacy-policy/ [edit: sorry for the broken link]. https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/How-to-minimize-your-data-usage/m-p/151073/highlight/true#M47635.

I'll give another vote for Data Witness by @IWIK.

@RobertQc yikes!

Okay so my bookmark for the MDM privacy policy is apparently out of date! Try this instead:

https://www.mydatamanagerapp.com/privacy-policy/

As for Data Witness PM, I guess it's a closed beta still--my apologies. Does the link to the main Data Witness work for you? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwik.datawitness. If so, then I know @IWIK was offering that version for free for PM memebers as well--just send him a private message and ask for a coupon code.

Ah, it's because there is a period added at the end of the link for some reason

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwik.datawitness. does not work but https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwik.datawitness does

Phone / spell checker automatically adding a period to the end?
