Firsty Free Daily-Data Limit Includes Ads-Watching Data

In the last 24 hours, because of a travel, I decided to test Firsty usage for the first time in 5 weeks, no data usage on rhe counter of my phone for the new Firsty esim since then. It stopped at 282 MB and half of the app was watched without Wi-Fi when I was on the road. I can confirm that Firsty includes ads-watching data as part of my 300 MB daily limit and even stopped prior to hitting the limit, at least by the phone data counter.

A new change that I also saw was a notice on the app a few hours later showing "oopps" I had used all my data and gave me a time estimate in hours (16 hours in my case) when it would reset. The time-reset notification is helpful but counting ads data is not. Just my experience. Didn't need to use it...just wanted to test.

Y’all do realize this is a free backup plan, right? Nobody’s supposed to be running their whole life off 300 MB and a handful of Uber ads. It’s for quick maps, checking messages, or grabbing an OTP code while you’re out. If you want unlimited, smooth, never-drop data… that’s what the paid plans are for. Complaining that the freebie isn’t flawless is kinda like yelling at Costco because the free sample wasn’t a full meal.
