Users with prepaid connections often face the problem of low balance, which can be a hassle, especially when you are trying to make an urgent call. One of the primary concerns for any prepaid user is to keep a tab on his/her call expenses and data balance and to cover this problem, the True Balance app has some insightful features.

The True Balance app makes recharging convenient by providing users with regular notifications of low balance and low data. 

One of the key features of the app is that it covers bill management and payment of prepaid (10 networks across 22 circles) and postpaid (Idea, Airtel and Vodafone) services in India. Adding to these services, True Balance has also launched its Mobile Wallet and looks to foray into overall utility payments. According to company reports, Play Store has ranked it at number 1 in the lifestyle app category.

Focusing on the Indian market and users of prepaid and postpaid connections, True Balance comes with an array of services that help the users maintain their phone balance, keep a check on their data balance and choose a suitable plan for themselves. It also showcases the transaction history giving you a detailed balance statement for every purchase.

Once downloaded, True Balance needs you to register, and moments after, it fetches the talk time and data balance from the operator. Apart from that, the portal menu lets you choose from the slew of offers that might help in getting you the best deals on recharges. The facility of 'refer and earn' also gives you lucrative discounts. 

With a decent UI experience, the True balance app supports recharge on its app and each recharge will result in app points which can be redeemed later. One of the more prominent features of the app is that it converts text message of available balance and data to infographics that can help you in remembering the available balance more easily, as infographics are more interactive than plain text messages.

Here are some other features that the app provides: 

- Alarm upon balance depletion
- Easy and fast Balance checking
- Prepaid and postpaid account purchase
- One-click recharge (balance recharge feature)
- Statistic of data usage feature
- Bill Payment system, DTH and electricity

There is also a gift card and cashback feature that help in swift transactions. The gift card facility extends to those who don’t have a bank account or have spent full wallet limit. Overall, True balance app is great for prepaid users and simple features like displaying the balance, data statistics and low balance alert that make this app a formidable choice.
