User Feedback • Bandwidth throttling. It allows Android users to use applications on their

devices without using 3G. This is particularly effective since many free applications on the Android market come with sponsored ads, which use data. This is a handy restricting tool.

• Summary by 3G, it's interesting to know how much money is being spent.

• App comparison. In ourview, the most efficient way to make non-computer-savvy people realize how much an app is downloading is by comparison with other apps.
