### 3/5 — My app won’t load

*2025-12-15, version 3.1.34*

It was good while I could access the app. But now, despite numerous updates, when I open the 1st for women app, it automatically shuts down or closes. I tried deleting it and reloading. But it still does the same - closes and shuts down?

### 1/5 — Disgraceful

*2025-10-07, version 3.1.34*

We had been insured with these people for a while. After we had requested to cancel everything listed under our policy number/name they still continued to deduct payment from our account. We are currently in the process of trying to get our money back however they are stating that we are not entitled to it as we didn’t specifically request a certain product to be cancelled which fell under the same policy number just to be clear. They are misleading people and actively legally stealing from clients. Don’t accept their VAP cover or any cover from them in that matter. The company is disgusting

### 5/5 — Pleasant experience!

*2025-06-25, version 3.1.20*

I had a great experience, from submitting my call request to being called back in seconds. Onboarding process was also very simple and I was able to complete the registration process in minutes. Grateful to the consultant who spoke to me

### 5/5 — Really the best insurance for women

*2025-06-05, version 3.1.20*

Reliable and understanding. I was having financial difficulties and I explained my situation and the agent was so compassionate and understanding. I feel safe all the time, like I really have an angel watching over me.

### 1/5 — Crashes and closes

*2025-05-03*

The app won’t open. As soon as I open it, it flashes up and immediately closes. Now I don’t have access to my roadside assist or panic button :((

### 4/5 — Fatima

*2025-04-14, version 3.1.20*

Thank you Thank You, from the very first day 1st for Women surprised me with their professional service, their commitment and their understanding of my predicament I found myself in. Having a brand new car, financed and not having comprehensive insurance was a sure headache however just ONE phone call to 1St for women and it was covered. The consultant was so patient and understood my needs.  The follow-up calls and thereafter the cover for my house and content was a breeze. I highly personally recommend 1st for Women to even MEN out there!!!! You will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to cover the women in your life!

### 5/5 — E Smit

*2025-02-24, version 3.1.20*

Excellent and professional assessors, you are kept up to date and they do also care that you are safe and healthy unharmed. Truly empathetic always keeping you informed and at ease. Thank you your service is invaluable and I am very happy that I have you to support me with in the bad times, as well as the good times. *****

### 1/5 — Poor service when making a claim

*2025-02-12, version 3.1.20*

FFW has the worst client service ever when it comes to claims. Had a vehicle accident and I put forward a claim and a week later still no communication from them. On the app it says an advisor was assigned my case but the so called advisor has not made any contact with me and no one responds to the messages I send on the app. My question is why put a feature on the app but have no one constantly monitoring it so that they reply to customers. Poor service very poor I’m such an unhappy customer right now

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2025-01-31, version 3.1.20*

Simple app with a user friendly interface, my claim to 15 mins to submit and within a week my car was sorted I’m impressed

### 5/5 — Feeling safer already

*2025-01-31, version 3.1.20*

Feeling less anxious now that I have so many safety services at my fingertips
