Hey,

I've created a new Web Africa app, to view account and usage info. The existing version worked fine but was limited to capped accounts only, and this one will should work for all your ISP accounts.

Some notes
* This is a 3rd party app, WebAfrica is not affiliated, supporting or anything about this app.
* It has been tested using various WA accounts, and it seems to work, but there could be cases where it doesn't work for you. Please get in contact with me if you get any funny crashes or missing info.
* The app gets the data from the WA Client Zone/DSL portal, which are both extremely erratic. During development (the last 2 weeks) I found that it can take up-to a minute to get info per ADSL account. So if the app is running slow or crap, there isn't much I can do about it :(


Privacy
* Your connection details are stored encrypted on the device
* It is only send to the WA Client Zone (over HTTPS), nowhere else, and the only other outbound connection is for Google Analytics. You are welcome to Fiddler or proxy to verify at any time.

Here is a link to the app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viddyzoo.wausage

Please note that the login to enter is the one for the WA Client Zone (https://webafrica.co.za/clientarea.php) and not your ADSL login (@wadsl etc.)

Hi,

This is awesome! I've passed this info to our Product team to check it out but in the meantime, please PM me your contact details - just in case - if they want to get in touch with you.
 
I've made a small update, quite a few people were trying their ISP accounts as login instead of their Client Zone info.
Also tried to fix an issue with session expiry, but not completely happy with the fix just yet.
 
@whatwhat

Working as expected here, thanks.

A couple of requests:
1) could you display the info that shows usage per bandwith type like the console does, ie: Anytime Used = 14% (21.1GB of 150GB)

2) Show "Top up rollover data usage". (If you need the html source from my console view, I can email it if you like)

UPDATE: I see your screen shots reflect the topup rollovers, but mine is not reflecting in the app. I've sent you a PM with the details.

Sure, will PM you.
 
Fixed the issues that AdrianH picked up, his extra info should show
Also added some color to the cards, feels like it makes it easier to read at night?

Thanks @whatwhat

The topup rollover and additional info is displaying correctly.
 
I've gotten a few reports of the app crashing for some users, which I've tried to fix in a previous version, but there is still an issue or two left.

There are obviously some account types that I'm not handling correctly, as I don't have every possible type of WebAfrica account to test it against. If you install the app and it crashes on startup, or refresh, please PM me or email the support address on the Play link.
