### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2026-08-11, version 6.1.2*

Keeps crashing, doesn’t open on latest iOS version

### 2/5 — App crashes on iPad running iPadOS 26.5.2

*2026-08-05, version 6.1.2*

Can no longer launch app on my iPad. It crashes. Am running iPadOS 26.5.2 (23F84).

### 2/5 — Unavailable at the worst times

*2026-06-10, version 6.1.2*

It doesn’t happen weekly but the app often goes offline and isn’t fixed for hours. I’ve heard from others this is incredibly rare with other banks and honestly in this tech-dominant era having immediate access to my bank balance is really important and I am considering switching banks for this reason! Unreliable app. Yes, you could use online banking but that’s a hassle and takes longer to login.

### 3/5 — Locked out of app

*2026-04-20, version 6.1.2*

It’s very frustrating getting locked out of app . I’ve turned phone off and on then deleted app and trying to reinstall but it’s taking forever to load . So annoying. I’ve never had this trouble before

### 1/5 — Why has it become unreliable

*2026-04-09, version 6.1.2*

It now crashes every time I try to open it. I’ve tried to reopen from the app store, but this doesn’t fix the issue

### 1/5 — worse and worse

*2026-04-06, version 6.1.2*

app gets worse and worse with more glitches, freezes and less functionality

### 1/5 — App upgrade

*2026-04-06, version 6.1.2*

This app is useless. Been ok for quite a while, but since the recent upgrade, can’t access my bank accounts, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. If this is not sorted soon, I will be moving banks!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-04-05, version 6.1.2*

Have updated app and now can not open to access my account.

### 1/5 — Lost Icon

*2026-03-29, version 6.1.2*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-03-29, version 6.1.2*
