sweetstreeper:

 

Once a pin has been swiped does it reload like a pokestop would or does it disappear for good?  

 

 

 

 

You only get to score it once. :-)

cry Doesn't like my Oneplus 2 running 6.0.1. Is it only compatible with Android 7+?

 

 

 

Love the idea, but not sure what kinda requirements have been set to use the app, never had any issues with any other apps, so should be capable to run a Pokemon Go type app easaly.

 

Fingers crossed they'll broaden the scope in a future update.

Nice... Loaded the app and entered wife's phone number. There's a pin inside our lounge because I didn't even have to move to collect it (must be a first one for everyone?)

 

Tomorrow will find out more while walking to work.

 

Thanks 2degrees :)

My carry over I have accrued over the past few months seems to have been erased after downloading this app and redeeming the first pin.

It seems it keeps using the GPS even while in the background. Wonder what it will do to battery life.

Also the help text repeats the part about not being a customer.

PaulBags: Doesn't like me :(.

 

What version and mobile are you using? 

 

benokobi: My carry over I have accrued over the past few months seems to have been erased after downloading this app and redeeming the first pin.

 

 

 

Carryover Data lasts a year. We'll always take from a pack or balance that's got the shortest expiry date. There's an exception to this with our Zone Packs which if you're 'in Zone' will use that data first. 

 

If you'd like us to look into your missing data issue and can't see it in your usage please PM us your number, 4 digit PIN and what balance have you lost.

It's been tested on a number of popular models including ones running on 6.0.1.  If you have jailbroken or rooted the phone it will not work. 

 

freitasm:  Also the help text repeats the part about not being a customer.

 

Can you PM us the number it's doing that on? Are you running the latest version (1.0.1?)

 

Cheers

I am on a pay monthly plan and it uses Data Hunt carry-over before my pay monthly data

That's to let non-customers know they can still join Data Hunt, if they join 2degrees. :)

Yes I understand that but the highlighted text is repeated.

Wish I had one that close, you must have a friendly 2D buddy :)

I had to walk a Km for the nearest one, and then bail Over the fence and walk another couple hundred meters into the middle of the local Pony club to get my nearest one (20mb 😅)

Glories of rural living? 😆

I am waiting for a story about some poor bstard who walks into oncoming traffic because he was looking for data with his face stuffed in his phone :)
