Yeah, that's what I figured. I'll wait until I get to play with Consume and then maybe I'll come up with something actually practical

Looks good. Hopefully 3 support is coming soon; I've emailed you the source that Chrome spits out ... hope it helps!

Suggestions:
1) On the page that shows that you're likely to go over your cap, perhaps show (a) the expected date you'll hit your limit and (b) the projected amount you will exceed your limit by at your current rate of usage.

2) The ability to display usage by dollars or Mb, or percentage.

Cheers!

With the custom URL thing, you can also open an app using its product identifier. I saw this bit of code:

- (BOOL)tweetie_2_x_isInstalled { return [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"com.atebits.Tweetie2:"]]; }

So it appears that opening "com.atebits.Tweetie2" is valid and will remove all confusion over custom URL schemes.

Any word on a Three Recipe?

Also, I love the look of the app, but these two things just look a bit wrong:



That 'street' font looks really out of place, and I know that the top-bar matches the usage bars but the gradients on it just look really odd in that context.

what can i expect the app to sell for?

For some providers we are willing to add support just based on the usage page samples people have sent us. For others we aren't willing to add support without having a login to test with. From what we know about the Three system we aren't going to add support until we have a login. If we don't have a login it means we have to guess how things will work but some systems are just too complex to do that.

We have been pretty lucky so far. We have been able to get logins for every provider we support but we haven't got one for Three yet so at this stage Three support is on the wishlist.

We will announce the price at launch. We can say that the price will be very competitive.

I just sent a message through on Contact Bjango and just realised I forgot to mention something.

This is regarding Telstra Usage accounts. I noticed that nowhere in the online billing does it show what type of plans I'm on. So will Consume be able to show the $xx of $xx with Telstra?

Postpaid accounts show $xx of $xx. Telstra (unfortunately) requires you to tell consume your monthly cap, but almost all other providers can work it out automatically.

Fair call. The handwritten font is only used once and only on the welcome screen, so if you don't like it you don't have to look at it much

[NeoRicen]

I'd like to say two things:
1. This looks awesome. There are tons of usage apps, but none of them put any effort into design like you guys do.
2. Showing it off now, before it's available, is just mean.

Thank you.

Sorry. All going well, it should be released in a week or so!

Just a quick suggestion - I've played with it for a bit, but there are numerous times when I only want to have a quick look at data I already have, or when I am using a SIM card that doesn't have a data pack. Is it possible to add a switch in settings so we don't have to check for usage data every time the app is opened?

Ditto - maybe a user set cache? e.g., maybe refresh once a day, or once every six hours or something?

[marc]

Keep the suggestions coming. We'll be submitting an update quite soon after launch and have a few things planned.

[lazychef]

Have to say this is looking really really cool. It is so aesthetically pleasing, can't wait to replace my current usage app for internet with this one. Plus I will be able to add my Optus usage too, though I don't really need to check it, it would be nice to have them in the one app!

I'm still waiting for Telstra to migrate 2 mobile phones across. Will email you once all is sorted.

[Beau]

Would just like to confirm that this is working with my corporate/business (landline) Telstra account if anyone was wondering :-)

[Joey1983]

Looks awesome, can't wait to get it once it's out.

[Mecha]

I just want to echo everyone else in this thread by saying this is by far the best looking usage app out. And by a long margin.
