Re: EE website and app is unusable slow, total rubbish

EE are apparently always making updates to improve it, yet it never improves, it just gets worse. You replaced an app that worked perfectly with one that either doesn't work, as it doesn't allow you to log in, or if it actually does allow you in then it's sooo slow that it's embarrassing (slower than when I had dial up 20+ years ago) doesn't do what is requested of it and crashes instead. It truly is the very worst and most unreliable app I've ever tried to use and in all honesty I expect better from a communications company, the irony is beyond laughable, it really isn't funny any more. I have been with EE for decades, from T- Mobile days, I have 6 lines on my account, 4 phones and two smart watches, yet feel that if you do not sort this ongoing, what feels like a forever problem then I will have to leave. I have another line with 02 that was bundled with my Virgin Services, I only had it initially because it worked out to be cheaper overall to have it than not to have it. I have been so impressed with it, that although I have since left Virgin Media I still chose to keep this line due the free data roaming benefit, something that you at EE have now decided to charge additionally for, and I also for the other benefits that being an 02 customer provides. If EE doesn't sort this out soon your customers are and be leaving in droves, so I cannot understand why you continually ignore how useless and pointless this app is, whilst feeding your customers the same line about it being improved, whilst the only change is it's getting worse. EE you really do need to listen, it's beyond a joke now!!!!! And yes, I am using the latest version, I have uninstalled and reinstalled and yes, I have cleaned the cache and data but it does nothing as the problem is with YOUR APP!!!!!!

I wish O2 had bought orange out. Seems they are a consistently reliable provider with excellent online systems...

Hi @Annoyed1000 

I'm disappointed to hear that you're facing some issues with the EE app and your main online account. 

Have you spoken to our team over the phone so we can investigate the errors you're seeing? If you haven't, please contact us.

If you can't upgrade online, you can do so over the phone with our team or in-store. I know working shifts can make it a tad difficult to get into a store, but you're also welcome to book an appointment if you do have some free time.

Probably the worst app and website I’ve ever had to use. Always slow, always glitchy, always so freaking frustrating and exhausting to use. I can count the times I’ve been able to action something on the fingers of one hand over 2+ years I’ve been with you. I was planning to add one more number/phone to my account but just the thought of it makes me anxious. Time to look for a company that values their customers needs and time. 
it’s really beyond belief that such a big company is unable to offer a usable web/app to their customers. We’re not asking for the best website /app ever - just a usable one. Is that too much for EE to develop in this day and age?! Pretty embarrassing. 
looks like leaving is the only way to urge EE to invest into a decent app. Problem is even if they do come up with an improved service, most people won’t come back to find out. But that’s probably deserved at this point. 

I totally agree with the customer above.  Your website and app are so  slow or pages just fail to appear., they’re unusable. This is nothing new. it’s like the old dial into internet days. 
 
As a communications company you seriously SHOULD be embarrassed.

Hi @Hotcityliving 

I am sorry you are experiencing problems with the app and website. 

Does this happen when logged into your EE account? 

If so, do you get an error message? 

Speak soon 🙂

Leanne.

I'm so glad someone has flagged this up. The EE Android app is the worst commercially available app I've ever seen. A first-time programmer who had an idea to write an app to show you your battery usage would have made a better job than this. The app is written as a simplistic front to the equally awful website. If EE staff want me to try their website, then I have. It's completely shocking. To start, you have to supply your email address not once, but twice on two different screens before you get to the password box. This is marketed as "the snappy way to log in". Quite incredible lack of self-awareness. Your software, app and website, would not have been suitable in 1980. In 2024 it's just not remotely funny.

I have to admit, EE's website (and the app, as it's just a wrapper around the website) is the worst Website/APP I have ever used, period. It's super slow, glitchy, always reloads, repaints, redirects back and forth, fails to log in or log out, requests fail because the cookie is too large or for some other reason. On top of that they always do maintenance in the evenings when a lot of people are trying to either buy something or upgrade, I'm sure they lost a huge number potential customers or upgrades because of those maintenances.

There's a run around going on here because as with all websites, EE have the logs available to understand how their website is performing, and pin point which pages don't load (such as the 404 status I'm getting on my product page).

EE must know they have a serious problem, without it being constantly reported by users (which seriously adds to frustration with the service).

These issues don't appear to be for a few users, on specific devices, or to do with caching (that would be ridiculous anyway for a modern website to require it's users to perform workarounds).

Somebody is not being transparent or accountable about this at all.

Didn't read the thread, just came here to say it's Feb 2025. I moved from New Zealand to the UK and have a phone and broadband plan with EE. EE UX is OKAY, but it slow as hell, I'd go as far as saying the worst Telco website I've had to use.

I have exactly the same, constant messages saying view bill in app, when I do get in and click check bill just get an endless 2 yellow dots spinning round and round! It is infuriating. Can't they just email the bill!??  They are obsessed with directing us to a buggy app that doesn't work. Time is precious and I don't want to be constantly trying to sort this.
