### 2/5 — terrible

*2026-03-18, version 4.18.3*

bugs out all the time

### 3/5 — Bills payments

*2026-01-18, version 4.16.0*

Does not have access to bill payment

### 2/5 — Not letting me buy more data because I haven’t used enough?

*2025-11-11, version 4.15.0*

It comes up with ‘you need to use some data before you buy more’ LIKE WHAT? Ever since data Pinata came back it’s been playing up

### 1/5 — App not letting me send use hour free data

*2025-10-05, version 4.13.4*

I have not been able to use my hour free data or purchase any data packs as it says I have no time on it and it’s been like that for 3-4 days now and I’m still not able to use the data clock

### 1/5 — Problem or register

*2025-10-02, version 4.13.4*

I have a problem for a registered because I exactly put my number and the sms verification code I received and it show me you need to start the process again after multiple error? Really it my first time registering here and I even have everything correct except the system keep persists that I have it wrong?

### 3/5 — Pretty good but…

*2025-07-18, version 4.11.1*

It’s pretty good but you need data or wifi connection for the app to work, so if you have no internet connection and you want to activate free data or purchase a data clock pack it can be annoyingly inconvenient

### 1/5 — Getting worse

*2025-06-02, version 4.8.0*

When I first started using the last version of this app it was pretty good. Sadly it seems to be getting worse every time I open it. Lately it says I have made calls and texts that I haven't made, some to numbers I have never heard of! When will you 2 degrees guys learn that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" ?
Newer and faster does not necessarily mean better- in fact more often than not, for the customer it often means worse!

### 2/5 — Useless

*2025-04-11, version 4.6.1*

useless, takes like 20 mins to process when I top up

### 1/5 — Top ups don’t show

*2025-01-17*

The data clock app doesn’t refresh or update with your current 2D balance. It takes ages for it to sync with your actual 2degrees balance.

### 3/5 — Happy with the app, data piñata needs a little improvement

*2024-12-22, version 4.4.4*

Make it so within the app you have a code (even a cycling code) that is used for the data piñata game instead of the tedious process of inputting your phone number -> waiting for the confirmation text (which can take over 30 seconds) -> inputting confirmation code then being allowed to whack the piñata. It would be so much easier if you just had a code already

Even better include the game within the app itself! No more jumping between apps.

### 1/5 — Maintenance

*2024-12-17, version 4.4.4*

Send an outage email to all customers when data clock is going through maintenance. It’s happening everyday for hours at a time

### 2/5 — Not working

*2024-11-28, version 4.4.3*

Hey 2degrees so my 2degrees date is not working.  
The data Piñata it lets me smash it and then when I go to Data Clock it says I need a new plan but I’ve got a plan and I just bought a new plan to see if it’s still not working and it’s still not working. I’ve updated the app I’ve deleted it and re-downloaded it.
And my free hour of data every day hasn’t worked in a couple months so I’m pretty sick about this can you please fix it 
thank you.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2024-11-28, version 4.4.3*

My app doesn’t work unless I have wifi available? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? It literally won’t load outside of wifi, its only just started doing this?

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2024-11-26, version 4.4.3*

I can’t even get into the to app to use the 1 hour data even though so I bought a $5 daily data just to get in the app but it still wasn’t working

### 1/5 — BEWARE!

*2024-11-24, version 4.4.3*

Beware:  Now, when you use your free one hour or buy a package, if you hot spot to another device the data on your phone will be used.  I used my free one hour to hotspot my tablet to download material for my course. On the 21st I bought a $19 plan and now, on the 24th I'm back down to zero data, and back to not being able to access data clock.  If data clock no longer covers hot spotting then I will have to look into moving to another provider.

### 1/5 — Need wifi for app

*2024-11-22, version 4.4.3*

Pretty stink how we need wifi now to get into the data clock app. What if we don’t have wifi and need data? No point in this app if we can’t access it when there’s not wifi🤦🏼‍♀️

### 1/5 — Dumbest shyt ever right now

*2024-11-21, version 4.4.3*

Why does data clock not load on mobile data, when the only time you’ll open it is when ur on data. If you want to use your free hour you have to connect to wifi and get the data and then when your on data u can’t ever see how much data time you have left. Never used to be like that before

### 1/5 — trash

*2026-08-20*

doesn’t let me in

### 1/5 — stuck on sidebar screen

*2026-03-21, version 4.18.3*

Great job guys

### 1/5 — Unnecessary app

*2026-01-31, version 4.16.0*

It makes no sense to have to download another app just to use a function that already existed in the old app. What is the actual reason for this change?

The result is an experience that feels inconvenient and unnecessary, taking up storage space for something most users only need occasionally. Instead of simplifying things, this has made them more complicated.

Honestly, I’d like to know who in your marketing or product team thought this was an efficient idea, because from a user’s perspective, it isn’t. This feels like a step backwards in usability.

### 1/5 — Data Piñata prizes bogus

*2026-01-29, version 4.16.0*

Any gift vouchers you win during the Data Piñata promo cannot be redeemed, always met with “invalid code”

### 1/5 — Data piniata

*2025-12-14, version 4.16.0*

Data piniata has stopped being available through the app and now i have to put in the like in safari but even when i play it it says i have won 45 minutes or something the never appears in my account, absolutely useless m, the event is also not over as i still see 30 second unskippable ads for dats piniata being available for the summer

### 1/5 — 2 Degrees is purposely inconvenient.

*2025-12-11, version 4.16.0*

I’ve notice that during the holiday period, the data clock app always logs itself out.

Due to a high volume of people using the app in the holiday seasons, 2 degrees purposely logs people out of data clock to maintain their data usage and cuts access off for this period until less users are using the app.
So beware that if you top up to use the data clock that you will have no access over the holiday period, when you need it most…..

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - major bug

*2025-12-11, version 4.16.0*

Tried using it after a break. It opens to the the 2degrees logo and Bizarrely the number keyboard appears when it shouldn’t. Otherwise it’s completely in-operational. Please fix asap.

### 1/5 — Always down

*2025-10-15, version 4.13.6*

Every time I need data the app is always down.

### 1/5 — Free hour mistake

*2025-10-14, version 4.13.6*

Not possible take the free hour

### 1/5 — Unusable app

*2025-10-10, version 4.13.4*

The past couple of weeks Ive been unable to purchase any extra data or use my free one hour one because the app just randomly stops working for a couple of days and it shows me a blank screen. My app is updated, Ive restarted my phone, and there’s nothing else I can do. This is so annoying.

### 5/5 — 助かる

*2025-10-12, version 4.13.4*

ずっとアンリミテッドだったけどあまり使わず勿体無いなと思い さらに家に高速Wi-Fiがあるためプランを6Gに変えたが それだとちょっと足りず外出時に困っていたので、たったの一時間だけども 無制限はありがたい

### 5/5 — very useful

*2025-03-18, version 4.5.0*

thank you

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-01-24, version 4.4.4*

Essay to navigate

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2023-12-27, version 4.2.1*

I recommend this app to all. You should definitely switch to 2 degrees because I have had months of free data, unlimited texts and 100 minutes of carryover calls. Only for $10 a month. I have compared other companies and this is the best value for money by far

### 5/5 — Behsjeuwfwifjwg

*2023-11-08, version 4.0.1*

Hegiefhieifheifhwihfiwhfiwhfihwofbwifbqobdiwbfiwbcobwofw

### 5/5 — Lock Screen timer

*2023-09-01, version 3.18.0*

App is lovely !! Just a suggestion it would be great if the timer for the data clock was on the lock screen so we don’t have to keep going into the app to see how long we have 👍🏾

### 5/5 — Free data hours about to expire because of “maintenance” bug

*2023-06-22, version 3.18.0*

I logged into the app around 11:30 tonight because I had a free data hour that I hadn’t used yet, but was blocked from using it because of maintenance. To give customers an actual chance to use free data hours, all future “maintenance” on the app can wait until after midnight, please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Could be really great with a widget

*2022-11-22, version 3.18.0*

Could be really great with a widget for iOS users to show how much time on the clock is left. The notifications aren’t reliable and I often find myself using all my data instead of my daily hour. Otherwise the app is really great.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-02-05, version 3.6.0*

We are very happy with 2 degrees data lock App! It helps us so much when we need to connect high speed internet! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Super easy & quick to use!

*2020-01-27, version 2.0.207*

Really easy to use and gives amazing reception even in small towns. I was away traveling and I was able to stream Netflix and other videos with the highest quality. Fantastic app!!
