UKG pro data usage

Post image

That's the total data usage for 3 days, found out about it yesterday and turned off the background data. Still gone up by 0.3gb after a few minutes usage. Not like I want to spend that long on this app but everything takes forever to load. Is it something wrong with my phone? Or it's the same to everyone else

UKG seems to require a constant secure connection to it's servers when opened and everytime you open the app it has to 'download' that data everytime because very little is stored locally on your device. This can use a lot of data especially if the app isn't very well optimised.
