If there's one thing iOS 6 lacks, it's a consumption analysis of mobile data that we have on the iPhone. Most of us are either charged or slowed down after passing a certain amount of data, so it is quite logical to want to control our consumption in a slightly more detailed way than Apple allows us with its simple meter. megabytes.
Retail
The first thing that catches the attention of Onavo Count is that it presents the data in a very interesting way, since it allows us to see the data in a couple of quick glances thanks to a well-ordered color bar and placed in order from highest to lowest in data consumption.
Once we entered see in detail An application we can see in passing what Onavo saves us, and that is that the application is capable of compressing the data that we send from our iPhone to save us a not inconsiderable amount of data, although we will notice it especially if we have a fairly large consumption.
How It Works
The first thing you may have thought is: how the hell does this app work if Apple doesn't allow applications on background taking data from others? Well, the answer is relatively simple: Onavo installs a data profile that works by compressing all the data that reaches our iPhone (the ones that do not).
The graphic created by Onavo that I have attached on these lines puts in visual mode what I have told you, and I think it is really simple to understand. It is possible that you may feel some fear regarding privacy, but for your peace of mind, it must be said that Onavo only compresses the data that arrives, while leaving intact those that leave our iPhone (such as passwords).
Conclusion
The app is fine, compress and does its job, but it also gives some problem. To begin with, it messes with our APN when configuring it on its own, so if we have to make any changes there may be problems. But perhaps the most problematic is that the operation of Personal Hotspot conflicts with Onavo and we cannot use both at the same time. And it is a problem for quite a few.
I think the app is great for those of you who use data at all times, but for those of us who use less intensive I think it's not worth it.
