The quality of your stream will significantly impact the amount of data you will use while streaming Stan. On a number of devices, Stan will actually let you manually set the quality of your connection via the app's settings, though Stan also automatically adjusts quality based on your internet connection's speed. If you want to know how much data you will use streaming Stan at the different quality settings, see below:
Low quality: Approximately 570MB per hour
Medium quality (SD): Approximately 1.13GB per hour
High definition (HD): Approximately 2.89GB per hour
Ultra high definition (4K): Approximately 7GB per hour
To change video quality settings, select the settings cog in the Stan app on your device of choice and select the video quality option. For the best possible quality for the connection speed, leave it on auto, but if you want to save your precious data, manually select low or medium.
It's important to note that even if you select the high setting, if your connection can't deliver HD, it will automatically drop the quality to try and keep the stream running rather than pause and buffer.
In March 2017, Stan launched an offline mode for its Android and iOS apps, which allows users to download TV shows and movies to watch later without a constant internet connection.
