    Wow 4 pages in and i am surprised that noone has mentioned the information in their T&Cs which states what information they will take from your phone including monitoring your calls and using the numbers you dial and receive calls from!

    I passed on this one.

    It keeps telling me that my DOB is incorrect. Well, what would I know? I've only had it for 20+ years. This app meets me for 5 minutes and tells me i don't know my own birth date. It was quite a shock to the system I tell you.

    It's doing the same thing for me too. I'm not wasting any more time trying, I think I'll uninstall!

    Hi,

    Which number term&condition is this please? I have been through them twice and can't see that it says this?

    Not happy about the credit search as I've tried to register about 10 times and the app keeps crashing, so will I have lots of searches on my credit file?

    I found if you enter address manually and make sure you have something in each field it finally accepted. Good luck.

    What a complete waste of time, I've been getting "oops we've been unable to process your order at this time, Please try again later" message since yesterday afternoon, have tried several times including late last night (when server should have been quiet) still no joy

    What a crap app, why not have a section of their website where you can register?

    Funny how it takes your card details and address then says there is an error, data harvesting much?

    Hiya,

    I have a Blackberry which this app is not available on so I used my OH's android phone to search for this app. When I found it I clicked to download it.

    Before it started downloading a screen came up with various bullet points of what this app will access on your phone. If you clicked on each bullet point it gave you a more detailed explanation.

    The one about phone calls sticks out for me, there was one about accessing the camera and your photos (!) why would they need to do that?!

    There were about 5 bullet points in total.

    You then had to click your agreement to these before it would allow you to download.

    I declined to download it after reading them so i am not sure what it looks like on your phones.

    Hope that helps :)

  • Finally got it to work.
    Badly written app - allows for carriage returns within data fields - this was the problem for me (had my name as "Tim /CR/ Tim"). Also had my date of birth as 30th May 2012!!!
    If it's not working then check "my account" and your personal details - bear in mind it might have gone on to two lines and therefore have your name twice or similar.
    Good luck everybody!

    'For your security, when you register with us, we run a silent verification on the details you have provided with a credit reference bureau. Only you can see that we have run this check and it will have no bearing on any credit you may apply for in the future and no credit company will have vision of this search'

    So although it is classed as a credit check it doesn't affect you in the slightest except to try to keep you safe, you would be surprised how many companies do this and you may not realise.

    I've checked that, entered address manually, deleted and reinstalled app, filled in every field. Tried everything I can think of and its STILL not working

    I just cant be bothered with it anymore, deleted app and wont waste any more of my time on it.

    All those permissions arent needed and it just stinks of data harvesting. If they cant handle the amount of people applying then they shouldnt run an offer like this.

    App should have been tested on all formats before release.

    I hope everyone that cant register is leaving reviews on the market/app store
