## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Why does the price change once I decide to buy?  What is the price change once I decide to buy?

*2023-05-23, version 1.6.1*

Trying to buy an eSim card for Italy  for two weeks. I decided on an Airalo eSIM which is displaying a price of US$16. However, when I hit purchase the price changes to US$24. What gives?

### 1/5 — Informations are wrong

*2023-01-02, version 1.6.1*

I don't know why the information displayed thru the app are wrong or outdated... I have to go on the web site esims.io to get the right information. Should be the same database, but it's not.

### 1/5 — Relax

*2021-12-10, version 1.6.1*

I have been using this app for 3 seconds and you already want a review??

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-05-31, version 1.5.0*

This app should be pulled out as it doesn’t work anymore.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2021-05-26, version 1.5.0*

Click on any country and the app just spins.  No data is loaded.  It has been this way for months now.  Seems like the app is no longer supported.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2019-11-26, version 1.1*

Installed on iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13.2.3 and it won’t even launch. Crashes as soon as I try to open it.

### 1/5 — A non-working app

*2019-11-12, version 1.1*

The app freezes upon installation.

### 1/5 — Pass by

*2019-10-17, version 1.1*

There are a lot cheaper providers. This app don’t offer them.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-09-23, version 1.1*

The plans are too expensive. $50 for 1GB seriously?
I can buy 15GB for the same price with my own carrier.
You’re better off using your own carrier while roaming in another country

### 2/5 — Booo

*2019-11-04, version 1.1*

Still doesn't run on my esim-capable phone (runs fine on my 6s+).

Going overseas soon and this could be useful,  but not if it doesn't run on my phone.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Don’t bother with anything else

*2023-06-15, version 1.6.1*

This is the easiest and cheapest way to get foreign data roaming in 99+% of cases, so much so that it’s not worth the trouble of tracking anything else.

### 5/5 — Must have tool for Travel

*2022-09-29, version 1.6.1*

What a great tool to have… I wonder how recent and accurate all the data is though.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-10-25, version 1.5.0*

The app is very useful, and particularly useful feature is the simplified t&cs on some carriers, it really help me understand & solve a problem I’m having with my current provider, thank you so much! (ps I’m really glad i downloaded this app, I wasn’t gong to because the other review said it’s broken, but i took a chance and won!!) I’m on on iPad Pro 9.7 2016 latest updates n the app works

### 5/5 — Simple

*2020-01-30, version 1.2*

Simple and easy to follow with many currency options and filtering options. 

If I had any criticism, it would be to add an easier method to see plan inclusions.

### 5/5 — Works as expected

*2019-10-09, version 1.1*

Don’t shoot the messenger. The app works as expected. The developer has no control over the rates defined by the various carriers.

### 4/5 — Edit

*2023-07-09, version 1.6.1*

Help me work this
