Pokemon Go has finally been released in Japan

It's only been about a week since it was released, but
already see people playing it everywhere.
I started playing it a few days ago too. It's fun... I also play
Clash Royale, Clash of Clans, Puzzle & Dragons, and White Cat Project, and
I browse the internet and YouTube on my commute...huh?

Is the data usage okay?
I think I had the cheapest 2GB plan...

tragedy

Oh no! Data restrictions have been imposed!!!

 

I can't even use the internet anymore. 128kbps is too slow

By the way, with my usage, the amount of internet data used was by far the highest.

1GB just for the internet...?!

Is a 2GB limit too much in this age of huge social games?
If only we could somehow reduce our internet data usage...!
No, there's still a way!

That's it!

Opera Max (Google Store)

Just by installing it, you can save data on your data usage.
And it's made by Opera, the famous web browser.
Opera was also installed on the Nintendo DS back in the day.

How to use

First, install it from
the Google Store

When you open the app, a welcome screen will appear. Swipe right to accept the terms and conditions. (Please read the terms carefully.)

Tap "Connect" under "To the Cloud"

Tap "OK" on "Connection Request"

Allows access to usage history

That's all you need to do. After that, compatible apps will automatically save data.
*Please note that social games like Pokémon GO often use encrypted data, so not all data will be saved perfectly!

This app works by creating a VPN connection between the Opera Max cloud server and the Opera Max app, and
compressing

data communication for each app through the above route to save money

You can also use this app to manage data usage for each app and save money.

It's also convenient because you can set individual settings for each app.

I've only just started using it myself, so I'll have to wait and see how it works.
That's all for now!
