Key takeaways for M1 Prepaid
Where is it heading?
The market is shifting toward digital-first telecom management, and M1 Prepaid's reliance on retail-store activation is a significant liability. Without a transition to in-app activation and improved data transparency, the app will continue to see declining sentiment and user churn.
- The 1.73-star rating indicates that the current utility loop is failing to satisfy basic user needs for account transparency.
- Maintenance-mode release cadence (no major updates in 6 months) leaves the app vulnerable to competitors offering digital-first activation and transparent billing.
The SWOT
- Multi-language support (5 languages) functions as a B2B distribution barrier for diverse Singaporean demographics
- Digitizing the card activation process would remove the primary retail-visit friction point

The app's low rating is not a failure…
Read the full takeSince the last report: The product remains in a maintenance phase with no functional updates, but the PM strategy has shifted to prioritize login stability over dashboard transparency.
Bottom line
M1 Prepaid fails to provide basic account transparency, because the current dashboard obscures usage and purchase history, so the PM must prioritize a UI overhaul of the account summary to stabilize the 1.73-star rating.
