Minimalist in design and function

The App provides minimum information which to be fair is probably all that the average user needs. It provides your services information, allows you to update payment details (haven’t had the need to use this) and has a useful help section.

For me, the downside is in the lack of data usage information provided. It’s actually blank so I’m not sure what point having this feature actually serves. Hopefully it’s an error that can be sorted through an update.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We can confirm mobile services information is available and we are working on providing information readily available for internet services. Please email us at support@letsbetmates.com.au if you require more information regarding your services with us.

Constant crashing & poor design

The app is extremely basic with limited functionality, especially when in comparison to other apps provided by other internet companies.

Making payment can be borderline impossible with the frequency of the app crashing, with some features completely inaccessible due to the apps bugs. It’s becoming apparent that the app is pointless as it provides no useful function. You can’t even update your payment details as the app will never remember your new details and consistently switch back to the original payment details selected when first signing up.

Overall, in its current state, it’s frustratingly unusable

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We will definitely be adding features and improving the app over time. Currently, we have withheld any upgrades and put our focus on our self care portal on our website which can do all of the things you have requested. Email our support team on support@letsbemates.com.au to get your login details if you don't already have them.

Website and App are both broken

You cannot login on the website. When you press "Log In" nothing happens. it just removes your profile information you've put in and is blank. I can not login to the self care portal on the app as well because the app has major issues. To change anything on my account i have to spend 20 minutes on the phone. This company has allot of potential but they need to put in money in to on simple things like their website/app.

Poor service

The mate’s communication now famous and the customer service is going down. There’s no way you can pay your outstanding. Update option in the app doesn’t work. Live chat don’t have much information and not helpful in my recent experience. Call wait time is 1:30 hrs.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to hear this. To make an outstanding payment, please press the “UPDATE” option and enter your credit card details. This will prompt our system to make a payment of any outstanding balance on the account.

Featureless

Having service issues at home and the customer service Center is not available - thought ‘maybe I can log an issue through the app’ nope. It exists only to show they think everything is ok and give you more options for payment. Don’t waste the time.

Poor UX

App keep crashing and updating my credit card detail was painful. It keeps reverting back to my original card and doesn’t accept my new cc detail.

I also found the app is poorly designed with little end user in mind. It’s a very very basic app which seem clunky.

I came from both Woolworths mobile and Amazysim and they are far better at the UX design. Please consider revamping the entire app urgently.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We will pass this on to our development team as we are always looking at ways to improve the app.

It doesn’t work. I want to pay my bill.

It doesn’t work. All I want to do is pay my bill. With the online portal being down, we’re directed to this app to pay our bills. When I go in to the app and select my account/ plan that I want to pay, i get to see the account screen for a brief second and then it turns to black and the app is unusable. Please fix, I just want to pay my bills. Also please get BPAY already so we can avoid this.

Hi, please email support@letsbemates.com.au with your account details so we can look into this further.

Could be informative if not developed so bad

Open the app and tal around always leads to. A blank screen with no return, except kill the app.
E.g. look at your data usage and go back more than 2 months. Please fix this with an error message or at least a back button.
My kids at school do learn app development now, they would fail with such a result:-)

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Can you be a little more specific about the issue? Are you stating that the app crashes if you look at data usage more than two months?

Works but limited

I had a little trouble getting the app to work but it had been working smoothly and then suddenly it wouldn't accept account and password. After that frustrating spell, it has been working smoothly again, but the information provided is very basic (I can't find where it tells me how much data has been banked!)

Hi, Sorry to hear this - can you confirm if this is still an issue?

Great service, poor app

Doesn’t seem to give me an accurate read.
Also, as per another review -

“As your billing month progresses, the
yellow days marker proceeds around circle
clockwise. As you use data, however, the
'used' indicator progresses counter-
clockwise, meaning you cannot directly
visualise where your data usage sits in
relation to your billing days. Both
indicators should go in the same direction
so you can tell whether your Day usage is
in front of the days.”

⬆️ This time a million. I thought it was a great way to visualise until I realised they were going in opposite direction
