  11. [R12] Libon 3/5 · US Decreasing minutes to 175min?: I just wanna let Libon knows that decreasing their 225min to 175min will be their worst mistake because people will go somewhere else. I can’t believe the Malian government can allow orange Mali to increase their tariff with no rules and boundaries like that. Libon was the only company that people found it fair price but now they are letting their company being dragg
  12. [R27] Libon 3/5 · GB Rates tripled!: I recommended the app to so many of my friends as it worked great and the rates for Libon out calls were very good. After last upgrade the rates have more than tripled. Too bad! I do not think I will carry on using it. 😕😡

It was ok before but now it became a scam, they take your money but don’t honor the service. Definitely a scam
  15. [R25] Libon 1/5 · US Not ringing- bad customer service: I have paid this app to call my family overseas,. But every time I call them it is not ringing for them. I tried to call different numbers in the country that my family are, but still it is not ringing. I contacted Libon about this issue but they have not responded!!! They don’t have a customer support. If you pay their plans for call and it is not working, there
  16. [R28] Libon 1/5 · US Scam: Bought minutes just billed me no credit added in my account. I contacted the support responded twice once a day I gave a lot of detail the second day but no response.
  17. [R15] Libon 3/5 · US Apps choose wrong county itself before I sele: When I was trying to make purchase , some how apps Automatically choose a country and purchase was made.

  20. [R52] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US 😻: Muy bueno todo es muy rápido me encanta
  21. [R53] BOSS Revolution 1/5 · US Money grab harassment: The app is on every step defaulting to monthly subscriptions. You are automatically opted in. I have had to cancel subscriptions I was tricked into multiple times. then when you go to cancel they also play tricks to obfuscate the cancellation process. @apple support can do a better review of this behavior.
  22. [R54] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US Buenoooo: Me encanta
  23. [R56] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US Genial: ❤️
  24. [R66] Ding Top-up 5/5 · US Worked as Advertised: Quite truthfully was skeptical. But works abroad without the need to buy a physical load. There is a fee but it’s worth it especially if you don’t have a local number.
  25. [R70] Ding Top-up 3/5 · US EXPENSIVE 💰: The app works great but is expensive to send a load as they give you crappy exchange rates. For example today: Philippines Current exchange rate ₱57.46 = $1.00 So a ₱500 should cost around $8.70 Instead they charge $13.99 That’s a $5.29 difference… or in pesos a ₱303.96 difference. That’s a huge markup. As soon as I find a different way to top off I will no longer use Ding
  26. [R72] Ding Top-up 5/5 · US Satisfied: Ding is a fast and reliable app for sending international mobile top-ups and gift cards and perfect for staying connected with loved ones. The interface is simple, and transactions are always smooth. Highly recommended for hassle-free global recharges!
  27. [R73] Ding Top-up 2/5 · US txtx: The fees is so high
  28. [R79] Recargas aCuba 1/5 · US PAGUE POR UN PRODUCTO Y RECIBI OTRO: El dia de los padres hice dos pedidos uno seleccione cake y 6 cervezasa mi preferencia entre sus ofertas cristal, asi pague mi orden y adjunto cada producto tenia su foto. La entrega se hizo con cerveza parranda y no fue de mi agrado porque es significativa la diferencia de una bebida a otra y se exactamente lo que seleccione a juzgar por la foto que mostraba e
  29. [R80] Recargas aCuba 5/5 · US Hola: Muy buen servicio
  30. [R81] Recargas aCuba 1/5 · US Mala experiencia de usuario. No la usen: Primero recibes un email: Hola , felicidades por su compra con aCuba. Su pago fue procesado correctamente. Los detalles de su pago se muestran a continuación… Luego: Su pago en aCuba necesita ser verificado. Envíe: * Una captura de pantalla del estado de cuenta bancario de su tarjeta con la que pagó donde se observe: - Descripción de la compra donde sea vi
  31. [R82] Recargas aCuba 5/5 · US App: La mejor app de recarga para Cuba
  32. [R93] Vi: Recharges & Payments 1/5 · US Meaningless app: I have a communications prepaid card meant to pay only telecom providers as per the govt directive. And this app does not support such cards , whereas its website supports payment through such cards. What a waste of time.
  33. [R94] Vi: Recharges & Payments 4/5 · US Network slow in our area: Same
  34. [R97] Vi: Recharges & Payments 4/5 · US Payment by credit cards: Why there’s no option available to pay by credit cards?
  35. [R99] Vi: Recharges & Payments 1/5 · US No accessibility features: Apple has provided multiple ways for apps to be more accessible for visually impaired people. Vodafone has decided against implementing any of them. I can’t even increase the font size to read when my service validity date. Ability to increase text size is a minimum feature necessary for all old people who can no longer read faint text in small size.
  36. [R107] International Calling－Talk360 1/5 · US Terrible interference: Person in other end cannot hear me. Close to impossible to hear them. Calling from Helsinki Finland on US cell phone to a Finnish land line number for airline. Don’t waste your money. If this service does not work when it really counts it’s worthless
  37. [R108] International Calling－Talk360 5/5 · US Very Good App: Very easy to use and so helpful when you want to connect with love ones.
  38. [R109] International Calling－Talk360 1/5 · US Horrible: The quality of the call was horrible
  39. [R110] International Calling－Talk360 5/5 · US Solid option: I make frequent international calls for work. This is a good option if your WiFi is strong
  40. [R36] Libon 1/5 · US Fake: You Need Internet Or WiFi To make a call
