Amount of data transfer of a single Outwitters turn?
Summer at northern hemisphere. Many players do post that they have no wifi.
3G data roaming costs can be too much for many of us, but how much data is transferred when you take a turn.
Launch Outwitters - who's turn is info loaded.
Open a match: some data loaded.
Send turn: data is sent.

Can this be measured somehow?
Can OML give us approximately some kind of data amount that we can count cost of playing Outwitters when data roaming.

EU has set price caps for data roaming, lower fares EU wide from July 1st, 2014..

RE: Amount of data transfer of a single Outwitters turn?
My stats for our 2v2 match- 272 kb sent, 371 kb received
Loaded outwitters loading screen
Loaded game
Watched replay fully
Checked chat
Rewatched replay once
Completed turn
Sent turn
Opened chat
Sent 1 message
Exited game

If you go to settings, general, usage, cellular usage, and reset your stats and turn off wifi, you can open OW and play a game to check and compare.

Doowhat? Doodat? Okey:3

1v1 Super-Titan - Peak #32 // Current #56 as AlliDooisRush
2v2 - w/jesusfuentesh #7
2v2 Master League - w/baustin #17 // w/Juslas #85 // Randoms #38

I found the data usage per app page, too. Thx.
I have 10 matches waiting opponent's turn.
Checking match list consumes 58 kB data every time you refresh the match list (10 ongoing games).

RE: Amount of data transfer of a single Outwitters turn?
How data usage was added up on this small experiment.

38 kB: Checking match list - 2 my turn, 10 their turn
100 kB: refresh list
271 kB: loaded 1v1 and sent my move on turn 15
375 kB: refresh list - 1 mine, 11 theirs
437 kB: loaded match where I did not have a turn
800 kB: loaded 2v2 and sent my move on turn 23
1,2 MB: loaded both matches to see the turn number, adds up 4 refreshing of match list, too

That's 0,24 euros plus sales tax for roaming inside EU.
I pay 3,90 euros (including tax) for unlimited 3G data inside Finland.
And if we take a look how much iOS games cost to buy, roaming is not cheap...
or it does cost quite a bit to take a Outwitters turn (compared to how inexpensive purchase the game was).

Also match lenght matters, this 145 turn match eats 1,2-1,4 MB when loaded.
