Belsimpel will help you to handle your data bundle more carefully. With In Control you get practical tips to get to the end of the month with enough MBs in your bundle. We have tested it for the past few weeks.
In Control you map data usage
Before using In Control, enter the size of your data bundle and on which day your bundle will be renewed. You can then use the internet on your iPhone as usual. Meanwhile, In Control carefully keeps track of how many MB you use per day.
All statistics are placed in graphs, which are also available as a widget. To keep things fun, there are also several achievements to unlock, such as a ‘Lazy Sunday’ for a day when your iPhone is hardly used. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to share these achievements or see how little you used on that lazy Sunday.
Belsimpel says that with In Control it has the best and most accurate data manager. By logging into the app with your provider, you can compare the statistics of In Control with those of your provider.
Set up a data coach
You can set how much control In Control has over your iPhone. For example, the intensity of the data coach can be set in four levels. A light coaching profile sends a notification if you exceed your weekly budget, and if you are at 90 or 100 percent of your bundle.
You also receive a weekly summary of your total consumption. If you want to know more, with the heavy profile you will receive notifications more often if you exceed a certain percentage of your bundle. This is especially useful for users with a relatively small subscription, so that they handle their usage more carefully. Keep in mind that the more intensively you set the coach, the more notifications you will receive from the app.
In Control is completely free to download and use. You will only find some advertising in the Advice tab of the app. Here, the webshop compiles a top 5 of telephone subscriptions based on your usage. In theory you can use this if you want to take out a new subscription. In Control emphasizes that your login details are only stored locally on your iPhone and do not end up on the servers.
More control in the future?
This makes In Control a robust data manager that presents all data in a manageable, clear manner. The developer does not stop there, however, because future updates are working on a holiday mode and support for prepaid, among other things.
