The android app was updated on the 10th of March 2016.

Do you mean a redesign?

Same with the Vodafone iOS app, it is STILL upscaled on the larger iPhone screen.

I have to say the 2degrees app on Windows Phone is pretty awesome. I think it is third party but it functions beautifully and looks good too.

I would like to see multiple connections in the app, so I dont have to log out and in all the time to check on the ballance of the GPS trackers etc.

 

Vodafone do this, so if its not in there soon I will just swap out to vodafone as the ballance gets to zero, since the reason for not using them ($1 a day for casual data) is not a problem any more.

I would have to say that I really like Skinny's app actually 2degrees. You could heavily borrow some inspiration from that... And Spark's app isn't too bad either. I don't actually think there's anything actually wrong with the 2degrees app, it just looks a bit old (and not up with your current brand standards eg fonts!) and feels a bit clunky to use. But at least it makes it easy to check your balance. 

 

Although I have heard of a few people who have had issues with the iOS app on iPhone 5S devices, like it often won't open properly and has wonky zooming.

Thanks for your suggestions, we'll pass them onto the developers. Can't say if and when but it's good feedback, cheers!

Here are the features I'd like to see:

 

Usage information (ie data usage)

 

Share data usage information (how much have I used - when I'm shared to), how much has those I'm sharing with used.

 

Multiple account access (ie if I have data sims, other sims under my control.

The access to multiple accounts thing has been suggested/requested numerous times over the years.

On the web and/or in the app would be great thanks :-)

And naming them would be great, I have to look up the contact on my phone to see which sim is which at the moment because its all done by phone number, On desktop I can at least name them in lastpass but that is a hassle on mobile.

Ensuring that all buttons have a clear text label would go a long way to ensuring that the app is accessible to blind people using VoiceOver.

I would love to see this info- what plan I'm on and date of renewal. I can never remember.

I'd just like to see the iOS one be updated for the iPhone 6/6S screen. At the moment its still being stretched to fill the screen.

Me too. It might seem like a trivial thing, but somehow apps seem clunky when they're not optimised for the larger iPhones.
