Apps and Data Usage
Treatment - Apps and General Q1.1. How many DFS apps do you have on you phone?
Control - Apps and General Q1.1. How many DFS apps do you have on you phone?
The use of DFS apps
Seeing that most of the respondents don't have any DFS apps installed, it seems that most people use SMS or a phone number to manage their DFS account(s).
In contrast to other questions, the Treatment group scores 'lower' this time. Less people have DFS apps installed than in the Control group.
Installing apps
These graphs shed some light on:
how willing respondents are to install apps,
how often they ask for help when installing a new app,
whether they use Flashare, and
how often they use Flashare.
Apps and General Q2. Have you installed any apps since the last time we visited you?
Apps and General Q5. Did you ask for help?
Apps and General Q13. Do you use Flashare?
Apps and General Q14. How often do you use Flashare?
Data usage
70% the people interviewed from the Treatment group used wi-fi to connect to the Internet since the last visit, as opposed to only 38% from the Control group.
This great difference doesn't seem to have effect on how often people buy data bundles. For both the Treatment and Control group, the percentage of people buying data bundles daily hovers around 60%.

Sharing Data and Airtime
Sharing data bundles and airtime is common in Kenya. Airtime (prepaid calling minutes) serve as a currency in their own right for a lot of people. As we can see, data bundles are less often shared than airtime among those interviewed.
Data Usage Q18. Since the last visit, have you received bundles from someone?
Data Usage Q16. Since the last visit, have you received airtime from someone?
