Network

I’m struggling with network, it keeps cutting off.

Signal quality

Over promise and under deliver on 3party connections with no technical support.terrible signal quality.

Login procedure

It’s extremely frustrating when Face ID is inactivated in the app after not using the app for only 1 week.
Come on Afrihost IT dept. you can do much better.

Brilliant app, awesome service

You can’t do much better for PAYG data in SA

Pointless and poorly developed

I don’t see the purpose to this app - 90%+ of the features that Afrihost provides aren’t available here, and the few options that are present don’t even work properly. Wanna see your account? Flip a coin and find out if you can!
Clearly this app does not undergo QA and testing because not even the supposed bug fixes work.

Response from developer

Hi Xenomyst, Some changes have been made to the app since you left your comment. Please let us know on mobiledev@afrihost.com, if there are features that still don't appear on the app and if you are still finding it unstable. We would love the opportunity to fix any issues on there.

Afrihost are the best value

Afrihost are the best value and service provider, I can’t recommend them highly enough

Not too bad

Works perfect

Afrihost - Worst ISP

1gb line (1000up and 1000 down) with a constant less than actual 100mb up or down. Been struggling for almost two months now in total whilst still paying the fees for the big line. I’m moving on to someone else. Be wary.

Response from developer

Hi MXKQ1, I am terribly sorry that you had trouble reaching your speeds and we could not address the matter in time. We'll continue working on improving how we address such matter in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

Great App!

Love that you can transfer Mobile data to your kids using the app

Response from developer

Glad you like it. :)

Afrihost should cease to exist

I have never come across a company with a worse approach to customer service than Afrihost

Updated app doesn’t work

Since the latest update, the Afrihost app doesn’t run on my phone despite their spec saying it does. Have contacted Afrihost to log the bug report but keep getting told it’s my phone and not the app. Terribly disappointing that they don’t take all complaints seriously.

Response from developer

Hi Jay2411, we're aware of this and looking into the issue. Thank you for pointing it out. We'll be releasing an update soon to address this issue.

Great App

No issues with the app. Does what it’s suppose to

Response from developer

That is always great to hear. Thanks for the feedback DcFigo. :)

Website

It is hard to use and understand even though im the generation of techies. I don’t know where to find my receipts. I can see the spand of time ive used the data that is smaller than a day.
Theres no recomended packages or reviews on how others find your package.
Im always unsure of what im getting and how long it will last.

I would recommend a more in detail of usage and paid for data. As well as a review section for your packages so that i can get the best one for me.
Even if its a description, like for me “good packages for people on the move that dont spend much time at home and only use data for messages and chrome searches, or even the occasional social media scroll. Estimated to last more than a month, with a few hours for high demanding data apps.

Please get back to me. And thank you!

data usage

what is the point of showing data usage when its up to 5 days behind real time ........ not at all helpful

Terrible

The most useless isp in Africa

250 GB taken every month on the first day

250 GB taken every month on the first day
After asking why and that they should take action nothing was done
Data usage taken on days the modem is off and nothing is done about it

Frogfoot Fibre outages

Afrihost app does not report frogfoot network problems. I have to go to the frogfoot website to find out about netwok issues.

Not good for topping up minutes

Just don’t work when doing a topping up with a new Credit Card
Frustrating

Great app for administering you Afrihost account

Great app. Wonderful job.

Access issue

If you haven’t used the app in a certain while then you have to enter an OTP which is sent to your primary contact device,
This is unnecessary and inconvenient. No Afrihost - it does not increase security. Who makes these decisions?
