This app is free! THIS APP CONTAINS NO ADS.
PERMISSIONS:
-INTERNET : Needed to retrieve account information as well as linking to the community and accessing twitter feeds. https used where necessary.
- CALL_PHONE : APP needs permission to make phone calls as it needs to dial USSD codes to turn voicemail on or off etc. THIS IS ALL IT IS USED FOR.
- WRITE_APN_SETTINGS : App has now got the function to add the giffgaff APN! Coded with the help of Matt Bryson (developer of the great app giffgaff by Skinkers).
- SEND_SMS : Required to send a free sms to retrieve own number. No credit will be taken and new feature is included in the extras section, marked in blue.
** NEW **
Saving user credentials: The app stores user credentials so that the user is able to easily log in. AES encryption and Base64 encoding is used before storing these details so that these details cannot be obtained. User is able to clear login details or change login details in the "Preferences & Extras" section.

I have to uninstall the bloody thing as it won't let me log out of my wife's account to log into my account.
Thanks for bringing back the EXTRAS settings again in the latest update. I use this all the time for the voicemail settings and the USSD Codes. This is a great app all round!
Can't log in , says wrong details but they aren't. LG g5.
Says something about faulty dashboard, doesn't show any page
Nice update! It doesn't work…
I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and now the widgets work but their shape it's weird ... what I mean is that they are now too big and out of proportion...the earlier version of this app was great... not this one sorry... I'll probably reinstall my old one from backup...
Widgets still don't work
Just choose the package what it suite you .
Nice mobile network you can introduce to a friend. I love this network.
Excellent.
Keeps saying my card details are incorrect when there not so I can't top up , been a member since giffgaff came out not happy will be changing networks nothing but hassle
Seriously thinking of leaving gg fed up with calls breaking up and never seem to get a 4g signal
Good but phone signal
I would rate it less if I could, because every time I go to select any options at the top of the page, it won't let me select specific details. Plus I can't find how to exchange airtime for goodybags. Help me out and I'll give more stars!
Giffgaff is an excellent communication app and so price competitive. Showing balance automatically after each call is so useful.
Love it best network I have been on and the app is so easy to use ad give it more stars if I could....
Thanks you great apps now see screen look good apps thanks giffgaff. Five Stars Rates
gifgaf seem to off great deals i will see when i swap to gifgaf with the 15pound goody bag
Thanks giffgaff cannot recommend giffgaff enough. Always there when I need it.
I ent had a fault with this app yet easy way to keep on the go
It never remembers my password. When I reenter it it doesn't recognise it. I just top up on line, as I always used to do.
Love this app, so simple to use. Giffgaff is an excellent network, will never go anywhere else.
Can't even find explanation....
Always have to scroll up down and left right, not optimised for a phone screen. Always remembers an old password and username so I have to start from scratch each time I use it.
Sick! simple, good, real interesting news stories.
Brilliant network and so cheap......would defo recommend to a friend......well done giff gaff !!...*
Must needed app for Giffgaff users. Keep up the great work!
Fed up tried all apps how am I meant to top up if there is no way to put credit on
This Giff Gaff app is fab and so very convinient download it guys obviously only if your on the best Giff Gaff network
Very good but time wasting.
Every bloody time i put my details in it says its wrong, not focking true
says error not found am not happy
This done by quetonix not giffgaff. Check more by this publisher 40 durood shareefs. Infidels!
I dont know why they changed it but I can't do anything now iv been trying to get a goodybag for 3 days and all i get is a blank screen not impressed
100 times better than the new updated version . Easy access to all of your account.
EASY APP TO USE, EVEN BETTER AFTER LAST UPDATE
Fantastic with great features just access them with left swipe it tells you all you ever need to know from balance to rates to how to get help
Bought a £20 goodybag after 12:01 (a.m) and I am still waiting for it to be processed 10 hours later
I absolutely LOVE giffgaff to the max
