Opera Max 1.0.14
But Opera Max - Data manager can help you efficiently manage mobile data and block applications that might still your connection. It's well worth a try considering that an efficient data manager is tough to come by, but it could still use some improvements.
Sleek UI with some features
The app launches with a tutorial, showing new users all the neat features that they could use in order to save data on their phones. It doesn't have material design but you wouldn't really need it, since the UI is quite intuitive providing access to all features easily.
The whole concept behind this app is simple, it saves you data and extends your plan, by letting you take control of data in your plan. It compresses videos, images and webpages, so you can watch videos with less interruption and waiting. This is done by creating a VPN connection on your phone.
Save data from your plan
You'll need to connect to Opera Max Cloud and set up the VPN internet connection for the app to work. Data savings can be enabled easily, so that compression is available. The app displays a timeline with your mobile data and WiFi consumption for the day.
You can check out charts with consumption for the past month and with savings. It displays how much mobile data you've consumed and the time you've spent using WiFi. It also shows data savings and the apps that you've used while on mobile data.
Block apps
Another useful tool is the one that lets you block apps and deny them access while you're using mobile data so that they wouldn't run in the background. When you launch them, you can unlock the app and grant it access to mobile data.
This feature really lets you save data by blocking the apps that you only use while on WiFi. Features inside the app are only available for one week, after that you'll need to watch an ad, share the app on social media or rate it in the Google Play Store in order to get a 7-day pass.
