know_my_app While carriers usually warn you when you're getting close to your data limit, they don't tell you what you can do to avoid reaching that cap. A CTIA-run website called “Know My App” aims to fix that. “Know My App” shows the typical data consumption of popular mobile apps and compares it against capped US wireless plans. The site then tells Android and iOS users which apps use a large amount of data, and which are more cap-friendly. You can browse through the most popular apps, or search through a large list by name to see which apps to avoid to stay under your limit.
