Please read through the tips above and the comment below, if you still have an issue please contact me at wg.apps@gmail.com
Known Issues:
Unfortunately the library used is optimized for iPhone only at this point. So some lag in the animation is to be expected, also the form field does not look as tidy as it could but they are fully functional.
Download:
Download it by scanning the barcode below or you can find it in the Android Market Place on your phone by searching for “tnzusage”.
Enjoy! Oh if you are that way inclined, do shout me a coffee.

[...] If you are a Telecom NZ broadband or XT mobile data user, you will be aware of the Usage Page that is provided for you to check your data use each month.
Now you don’t have to go to a webpage to check it, just use this handy app [...]

Thanks for the App. I not the biggest fan of the colour choice, I think the dark / dark themes tend to not work that well as they blend badly. I guess my biggest issue is the lack of the ability to save my account details. Unfortunately until then the app is more a pain to use than actually useful, hopefully this is something you can quickly add..

Thanks for the feedback, new version is in the pipeline but got severely hampered by a cute little newborn. Updates will come in the not too distant future.

How can you assure me my telecom details aren’t going into a database to be sold or used to try and buy stuff on me..

Hi Logan, fair question, great care is taken to keep send your credentials over a secure connection. Also your username and password is not stored anywhere, hence you have to log in every time you use the application.
