PART-ONE | Reviewing The New Tele Birr — The Super App
Ethio Telecom has elevated its mobile money platform, Tele birr, into a super app that provides users with access to an array of services within a single interface, including e-commerce, food delivery, entertainment, utility bill payments, transportation, and more. So without further a do let’s get into it.
Application Size
So the first thing I checked was the app size. app size is one of my measures to test an app BC the Larger the size the hardest it performs.
- App Size 29 MB on Play Store
- App Size 93.1 MB on App Store
This is very impressive, especially as a super app
Application Flow
The First Screen was the Updated Splash Screen and Login Screen. I Don’t Know I liked the Login Screen better, it is somehow cleaner.
We know where everything is, we can log in or Create an Account. Good UI / UX.
There are 2 ways to create a TeleBirr account and the way they present it is so self-explanatory. Any user can see it and understand which does what. ( another point for Telebirr )
Since I already have an account am a login. After you enter your phone number and you will get a message with the OTP code
The App automatically feels the OTP Code on the fly but it is not going to confirm it so it is a bad experience but it is probably me overthinking.
After The OTP you will be asked to enter your 6 Digit PIN
I CAN’T TAKE SCREENSHOT FOR SOME REASON
Turns out I Forgot my PIN, so I have to reset it. To Reset my PIN I have to go to the Forget PIN screen.
Just like the first OTP, you will get an auto-to-feel for SMS. When you confirm the OTP you will get the following Message for about 5 seconds 👇.
Turns out I have to call 127 to reset my PIN.
Calling . . .
The operator asked for My Phone
Me : I told em
The operator : Asked for My Name
Me : I told em
The operator : Told me to it is not correct and gave me another chance to try again.
Me : I spelled it to be specific
The operator : Told me to it is not correct and gave me another chance to try again.
Me : I asked what i can do
The operator : Told me to visit the near by Ethio Telecom shop
