Having used the My OneApp for a few days, here are a few points of feedback to Safaricom: โ Brand Disconnect: The โMy OneAppโ name has no linkage to Safaricom or M-Pesa, diluting brand equity. A name aligned with M-Pesa or Safaricomโs ecosystem would materially improve adoption. โ Stability Issues: Recurring bugs, particularly during money transfers, disrupt core functionality. This has notably improved over the past few days. โ Improved UX and Data Visibility: The app delivers a more information-rich interface, with enhanced content layers and clearer transaction context compared to the legacy experience. โ Smart Recipient Identification: Real-time name resolution during input when sending money or paying for goods or Services reduces transaction risk. โ Data Migration Gap: Upgrading results in loss of previously saved paybill numbers for some users, indicating weak migration and continuity handling. A heads-up to consumers would have been useful so they can favourite key numbers beforehand and retain them post-update. โ Lack of User Guidance: No clear pre-update instruction to save paybills as โFavorites,โ leading to avoidable data loss and user friction. โ Access Constraint for Users Abroad: App updates appear restricted to Safaricom internet only, limiting usability for users especially outside Kenya and creating unnecessary friction for a global user base. Overall the app works well
