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
