Axxess universal windows app

[ErRoR_nAiK]

Straight to the point!

I wrote a little universal Axxess control panel app. I use Axxess for mobile data and it is rather frustrating that there is no Windows app so I decided to write one in my spare time.

The app is still in a very early stage, but I wanted to get some feedback to see if it was worth my time extending its feature set.

Download it and let me know what you think. Also, feel free to drop me some feature suggestions.

Known bugs

- Currently, the sign in process isn't the best. Sign in failures navigates to a blank screen.
--> FIX: Logout and log back in with correct credentials

TODO List

- Add more services, currently only Capped data and Mobile data products surface in the app
- Live tile?

Good job ErRoR_nAiK, I was just wishing the other day that there was a Windows Mobile app available for Axxess. First tested on Windows 10. I like the fact that it remains logged in, the logout button is a bit obscure though, first have to open App commands to get to it.

Also installed on Windows Mobile build 10586.29 but, doesn't matter how careful I am, always presented by a blank screen. I tried the user name upper and lower case to no avail. Obviously double checked the password. Very simple password, alpha only, lower case and nine characters.

Finally, I have two mobile accounts at Axxess, it will be nice to see the usage displayed when one opens the app, without having to tap in and out. Keep up the good work, let me know if I can help!

I was starting to think no one used Axxess on Windows Phone. Thank for the feedback.

I agree with the logout button being out of place, I will move it around and see what works best.
Currently working on the login process, an update should be out this weekend which hopefully refines Login a little.

Update submitted

v 1.1.8.0
- Improved login*
- Remaining data is now displayed on Mobile data items in the homepage

*For now, this is the best I can do. The API, especially for login, is not great at all. All it tell me is whether or not the login was successful.

DearHeart can you please uninstall the current build you have on your Win10 mobile phone and try this newer build when it is available.
Seeing that no one else had made any requests you're free to suggest more, I like this project so far wound not want it to die prematurely due to lack of users so I am going to keep adding stuff in the hopes it gets picked up.

Whilst I don't use Axxess, good to see someone else taking the initiative and building for W10.

I've got a friend that really needs this on his Windows Phone, he battles to use the Axxess website to check remaining data. Making this app is also a good exercise of producing real-world functionality for universal. BTW, I still only see version 1.1.1.0 in the store, how long does it take for changes to come through after you've submitted the app?

New update came through, the following feedback:

1. Thanks for the update, data remaining now displays on the first page
2. One suggestion, place the user name in caps at the top of the screen, I've got two Axxess accounts, will be nice to see which one is logged in
3. Installed the Mobile app also, version is the newest, but still nothing displays. I tried to log on with both accounts.

Keep up the good work, let me know how I can help to test - maybe private beta or such.

Sometimes when I push an update during the weekend it takes a little longer. Usually, most updates get released within 24hrs.

I never considered that there might be users with 2 accounts, I will add that.

Regarding your last issue, I will PM you to get more details.

Edit
I don't have much free time this week so expect the update next week sometime.
