Our Review:
Data Master is a very useful app specially for those who cater to cellular data subscriptions. Because these subscriptions are a bit limited in terms of data usage, it could come handy if the data usage can be tracked within the mobile device. If you need to know the volume of Internet usage via your cellphone, then the data can be utilized for selecting data plans in future.
To use this app you need to set the correct values before to get quite precise information. The App Data Master helps you to save the settings for EDGE 3G WIFI.
There is a Cellular billing cycle feature that tracks your uses of mobile Internet. Billing Cycle helps you to cut bills by setting Billing Quota to track usage for a month. There is also a notification system that warns you for the usages of the Internet that can be set at 50%, 80% to 100%. You can also set billing alert settings when the cutoff date comes. This wonderful app needs 0.6 MB free space on your iOS device.
