Any sign of a 48 App?

Anon — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:36:18 GMT

I had read on the 48 Facebook page a fair few months ago that an App was nearing completion and in the final testing phase.

Any sign of it being released?

What features will it have?

Good question indeed.

Saying it's nearing completing and in the final testing phase was very optimistic. It’s one of the many things we’re working on at the moment and we’ll let you know about a possible release date once we’re able to tell. We can't give you anything more specific, sorry.

I'd be more inclined to read it as - nothing happening, don't hold your breath.

The forum mobile view is actually pretty cool!

The one thing that really bothers me about the whole forum (both mobile and desktop browsers) is how I gotta log in every time...

Yeah the login thing is a bit of a pain.. When you are inactive for a while it logs you out even if it's your laptop which can be a tad annoying especially when you are writing something and it then says to log in and you gotta rewrite it -_- sad times..

Hi Paul, the iOS version is currently in test and should be live by the end of February. There's also an Android version which will follow soon after.

Its nice to have an app but it is not completely necessary. I just have the codes saved as a contact icon widget in a folder on my homescreen. When I tap it it calls the *100*8# for internet or *100*1# for the landline minutes and shows me my balance. Much quicker than having to wait for an app to load. Also no need to log in when using the codes.

Yeah - I'm not really sure what benefits an app would bring. I also have the short codes and details of how to buy stuff by text in my contacts for ease of access and that works well. It would be nice to be able to top up by text or via the SIM toolkit though. I must add that to the feature/enhancement request thread...

I know there's a mobile version of Just Hang Out, but it would be nice to have an app that's even more user friendly, and just a quick login to check out how much internet/calls/texts I have left!

I get a mobile version of the whole forum when I click on links in email notifications of posts to threads that I'm following - not just Just Hang Out. It's OK but a bit limited - e.g. cannot edit posts, a bit tricky to navigate in certain ways. However I still don't see how an app would improve matters that much. And I certainly can't see how 48 would justify the cost of developing one given the possibly marginal return/benefits especially when they don't budge on other things that many more people would benefit from ... e.g. some of the items mentioned here:

I don't see it happening soon, but I agree that it's tricky editing posts etc, and I'd like a quick and easy upload option from the mobile version so if I come across something interesting on my Reddit rambles, I can easily upload a photo. Not that I need an entire app for that though 😛

It'd be awesome to have an app that allows for you to check out not only forum posts and private message updates but to also allow you to access your 48 Account and check your minutes, texts, remaining days in your membership (current membership and next membership if you have one purchased) internet data and the option to purchase the memberships/add ons from the app ;D

Hi guys,

We have an update about the new app in Techie Updates here. 🙂

Anon — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:57:52 GMT

Awesomeness has just arrived, thanks for that update! Didn't think you'd come back that fast with that kind of update, so kudos to you!

I'm guessing you plan to have the app the exact same on Android and not have features left out? 🙂

Yeah, there might be some differences from a user experience perspective but functionality should be about the same as with the iPhone version.
