  • I created an airtime auto-renewal app after experiencing the frustration of manually renewing my Glo airtime. Since Glo doesn’t offer an auto-renewal feature, I built this app to automate the process, ensuring my airtime never expires unexpectedly. The app leverages Flutterwave for seamless payment processing and the Airtime endpoint to handle top-ups, and it also sends timely reminders before the renewal happens.

  • Since launch, the app has reduced the manual effort of renewing airtime by 100%.
