### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-08-20, version 16.0.102355*

Can’t even get onto the app the sign in is completely horrible. using the exact same details as on the web and still saying doesn’t match from the records, have no clue how this app has almost 5 star rating

### 5/5 — JB Hi-Fi Mobile plan

*2026-08-17, version 16.0.102355*

I am very happy with JB Hi-Fi mobile plan.

### 1/5 — Difficult to get bills

*2026-08-17, version 16.0.102355*

Since the change to the new billing system I no longer receive invoices by email. Now need to go into the app but it doesn’t let you share the invoice.

### 1/5 — Not NZ Applicable

*2026-07-27, version 16.0.102355*

App is just about as helpful in NZ as the in store service

### 1/5 — Garbage service since Telstra

*2026-07-12, version 16.0.102355*

Features that used to be standard inclusions on any mobile plan now seem to require intervention and separate billing. Especially noticeable when travelling. Why are JB trying to be a telco? Service is terrible.

### 1/5 — 04 mobile phone

*2026-07-10, version 16.0.102355*

Remove your app from nz store or allow to enter nz phone number.

### 1/5 — Just use the web

*2026-07-03, version 16.0.102355*

Putrid app! Reset my password multiple times online but the app refuses to accept it. Waste of time and effort

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2026-06-06, version 15.0.99180*

We went to your Caringbah store to buy a new phone today. 
We were served by a young man named Nelson. We would like to thank him for the outstanding service provided, it was a pleasure to deal with such a wonderful young man.

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2026-06-06, version 15.0.99180*

Fails “Something went wrong” message every time I open it. Gets the prize for the most useless app in the store.

### 1/5 — BAD APP

*2026-05-17, version 15.0.99180*

Waste of time
