Onavo - save money on data usage

Onavo doubles or even triples your data plan.

Download Onavo from the iPhone App Store: http://onavo.com/i/youtube

Introducing Onavo, a young cool startup (TheNextWeb Startup Rally 2011 Finalist) that empowers smartphone and tablet users to regain control of their mobile data usage, by providing a service that makes mobile data consumption efficient, transparent and manageable.

Onavo's first app helps you save money on mobile data, while connecting your iPhone to our cloud-based technology, dubbed the "magical shrinking machine". Onavo is totally seamless -- once installed, you can go back to using your phone as before. In the background, your data usage from all apps is compressed so that you get more bang for your buck.

Onavo is ideal for:
* Travelers frustrated with expensive data roaming charges and tiny data plans
* Users with a capped data plan
* Users who want to gain insights into their data usage

DO NOT USE ONAVO WITHOUT READING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ! ! !

All they're doing is routing your traffic using a proxy/VPN that they control. They can see and do anything they want with your data!

Just use Opera Browser to compress or block images... Better yet, just don't browse when you have an expensive data plan.

I also have a serious problem with the fact they you guys seem to lie about how it works. Calling it an app that runs in the background to compress data and that you already have it working with specific apps. That's BS. Apple doesn't allow that. Just come clean and tell everyone your not compressing your downgrading with a proxy route and you see everything they do and have no clear policy on what you will do with that personal information

Why the fuck would you wanna see what people are tweeting? Or what they're looking at on their Facebook? Who cares. It's a good app.

@leoncariz Onavo is free now but won't stay that way. Our business model is to charge for our service, not to monetize personal data. We are helping people save money and it'll be justifiable to ask for a small sum in

return (of course, this will be low enough that you still save overall). We DO NOT intend to sell our users' data in any way (there's better business for us in enjoying part of the savings with the users).

@yuvalariav and how are you making money? God and angels are depositing cash for doing good to people? or you are selling aggregated traffic data to advertisers? even to Israeli government?
