Best friends are so important
My bestie uses Vodacom saw me struggling with buying data and asked why don’t I have the Cell C app she connected me to her hotspot, me helped me download the Cell C app and viola 🥰🥰😍
Broken beyond use
Bundles chosen and purchased are not the ones you receive; customer care says there’s nothing they can do. “Something went wrong” always pops up when trying to claim connect4free. Useless. Go with another cell provider
Finally !!!! 😏👍
Finally a CellC app ! 😃👍 .... Love it but I have one major suggestion: Finger print entry that remembers your username / password as nothing is more annoying than having to input all that data again when we have technology that can do that for you already 😏 ..... otherwise excellent network .... ❤️ your LTE speeds .... Keep up the good work 😎👍
Always issues
There’s always an issue whether paying with card or airtime. If the service provider has problems then think of all the problems the client will experience.
Diversity
Need more diversified products.
Awesome
User friendly and easy to navigate!
Worst App ever
Downloaded the app a few days ago after purchasing cell-c data sim… keep purchasing data that doesn’t load on actual sim-10x tries later tried switching to ussd and still no luck. Makes sense why I’ve been an mtn subscriber for decades- cell c is terrible
App is not working
The app is not working as expected. I used to claim free data now it does not want me to claim it keeps on saying connection error, i can’t even use the free sms. Kindly look into this matter
New CellC App
“I’m really impressed with the new Cell C App! It’s fast, clean, and very easy to use. Everything I need is simple to find, and the app runs smoothly with no issues. A huge improvement — well done Unstoppables Cell C!”
Downgrade
This app sucks.You can’t even data share in the app anymore.it always has to take you to an external website 🚮.
Login
Since my last update I can't login to the app at all, it keep telling me you're offline. I have tried uninstalling and install again but didn't help. I am fed up with this app.
Cell C New App
Love the new look and feel. Easy to use.
Pathetic
This app is just pathetic. User friendly it’s not. Cant amend names for linked numbers to different branches. It’s crazy. I had all business and personal going through cellc. That’s changing.
IOS 18 not working
App can’t accept OTP when trying to reset password - bottom of app stalls with white screen and no go forward option - iPhone XR
Great app
App has drastically improved with the new great feel and touch and easy to navigate platform.
Cannot login
Says Im already registered. No use not being able to use the app.
Cannot buy Voice Bundles using airtime. App crashes
Cannot buy Voice Bundles using airtime. App crashes
App Update
Sleek design, flawless performance! Now fully operational for a smooth, hassle-free experience.
Useless
The app doesn’t work, I have deleted and reinstalled it multiple times but nothing. I have also reported the matter to customer service several times but still nothing
Awful UI/UX design
Cell c needs to change their designers when it comes to this app, so many glitches , it’s nearly impossible to use some functions because they are just not interactive…I could not even sign up because there was no button to press enter or continue after putting the OTP!. All in all…this app is dismal…do something cell c.
New look
More modern, intuitive and looks absolutely amazing.
Awful Experience
Endless regular issues with this app- logins, payment problems, unclear messaging etc. List goes on. Do yourself a favour and use another network
Poor login system
I have set up a pin code every time I log in! App doesn’t remember the pin
Excellent app
Excellent app! Easy to browse and use. New products are great value for money.
Scam
Takes your money but does not give you the data
New Improvements
The Cell C app has made amazing new updates and improved in overall experience
Not good
Bad signal yet phone says 2 bars LTE, connectivity drops. Phone calls/WhatsApp calls constantly have bad signal, but there’s a tower down the road from me. Data costs R13.5 per GB, insane. And then at the same time in a different menu it’s R59 for 1GB, unbelievable. Their *147# menu is buggy.
A great app
Not sure what else I would want it to do. Very happy with what the app offers, plus I discovered today that you could send data from a contract number to a PAYG number. Excellent.
App is not allowing me to log in
This app is horrendous man, I can’t even log in. Fix the app, cause slowly you’re losing me as a customer who has been around since the genesis of the network.
