Dr. Tariff 2.0: new features for Beeline, MegaFon and MTS subscribers

Hello, Habr!

Our mobile application for optimizing the cost of cellular communication has changed significantly. Under the cat you can find out what new opportunities for saving it appeared.

Let's start with a redesign - since the number of main screens exceeded a reasonable 5 tabs, we decided to use the side navigation bar:



Now more about the new menu items. The “Operator Services” screen, in addition to selecting the optimal tariff plan, now contains links to the screens of bonus points and connected options, which we will discuss next:



After we developed the module of automatic work with personal accounts of operators for the iPhone version of the application, we thought about what other useful things we can do for you.

I remember a case when one of the members of our team connected the “Favorite Number” option 3 years ago. I stopped using it a week later, but I continued to pay 1.5 rubles a day. The money is ridiculous, but for such a period, 1,500 rubles has run over. Similarly, many subscribers forget to turn off roaming options when returning from vacation. So that our users can avoid such situations, we have developed Monitoring paid services. It allows you to receive notifications if the operator connects a paid service. Disable unnecessary option can be directly from the application:



According to our data, the lion’s share of subscribers does not know or does not use the bonus points that the operator accrues every month. But the connection of such free options could give more communication with loved ones or additional megabytes of traffic!
It is long and inconvenient to turn them on through your personal account - you need to remember the password every time, follow the bonus account. To do the same in a few clicks in the application, in our opinion, is much easier:



The expense screen allows you to track each write-off. Given that now the numbers are not tied to the operators, this allows you to quickly identify the reason for the sharp decrease in the balance. Recently, we added a filter of zero charges and the Internet to it, since most of the Internet is free as part of the package:



In addition to tracking expenses, customers of Svyaznoy Bank, Sberbank, Alfa Bank and Qiwi can now replenish their mobile account by sending special messages from the application:



In the near future, we plan to launch the recommended options (favorite numbers, Internet, long-distance, etc.), which will allow us to further reduce our average bill.

We have accumulated quite a lot of analytics on cellular services and soon we will open a veil of secrecy over what “black tricks” operators increase their revenues. We would like to work together to make the cellular services market transparent and understandable for subscribers, so we will be very grateful for the reposts and your support.
