The best option is to connect to a Wi-Fi network where downloads are not counted, if you are using mobile data, download data will depend on the types of question series you do.
Use the following table as a guide to understand the data usage for a typical Question series with multimedia.
Question Series | Low Resolution Device | Medium Resolution Device | High Resolution Device |
8 questions with 4 videos and 4 audio clips | 23 MB | 26 MB | 42 MB |
12 questions with 6 videos and 6 audio clips | 35 MB | 39 MB | 63 MB |
What factors can affect the amount of data in a question series?
With Forget Me Not there are two types of Question Series:
- Questions with no multimedia so almost no download data will be recorded
- Question with multimedia such as images, audio clips, videos, weblinks and documents
Things that affect the amount of data downloaded are:
- The number of questions in the Question Series with multimedia elements
- The amount and types of multimedia in the Question Series
- How often you view the questions or resources with videos and audio clips
- The type of display your mobile device has; low, medium or high resolution display
To help with determining possible data usage on mobile networks some average values are provided for the types of multimedia used in a Question Series
