Opera Max gives you the chance to save on the data that you use every day and will help you get more out of even the most basic of data plans or packages.

Though many cell phone service providers today offer unlimited data packages, unlimited doesn't always mean unlimited. Once you reach a certain size, which companies call a cap, it will throttle your speeds. A change in your speed can keep you from playing all the games you love and even keep you from surfing the web or checking your email. Opera Max is an app that serves as a handy tool to help you manage your data and use your existing plan for more.

This app actually serves two important functions. It gives you more control over your data and shows you the amount of data that you use. The app also acts as an extension of your data plan and lets you limit the data that you use without limiting what you do with your phone.

One reason you'll love this app is because it has details about the mobile data that you used recently. You can view a log for the current day, the last week or even the last month. It shows you all the mobile data used but also shows you the amount of data that you saved through the app. If you scroll down further on your phone, you'll even see each mobile app that you used in the recent past and the exact amount of data that each one used. This is a great way to see where your data goes and which apps work through your plan the fastest.

The Opera Max app has a background data alert too that will let you know which apps keep draining your data plan while running in the background. Those alerts will come right across your phone.

This app is unusual because it uses both WiFi and compression technology to help you save. It will look for a WiFi connection, a nearby hot spot or a mobile network and switch your phone from your data package to one of those features to reduce the data used. The app can also give you feedback about which apps you should use on those networks because of the data that each one uses. With Opera Max, you'll never again worry about using too much data or overage charges.
