### 1/5 — What’s going on BOI?

*2026-06-28, version 5.0.0*

This app is simply atrocious. How can a big bank like BOI have an app this poorly designed and executed? 

I’ve looked through all of the recent reviews, and there’s a response to each one from someone in the development team. 

How can you not take all of this feedback and actually improve the app?

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2026-06-05, version 5.0.0*

Removed insight on monthly money in vs out. Why would they *remove* a useful feature?

### 2/5 — Such an awful app

*2026-06-01, version 5.0.0*

This is awful for banking. You can only view statements 3 months at a time. Slow for payments to leave your account. You cannot write a note so explain what a payment is for

### 1/5 — App is constantly broken, customer service is useless

*2026-05-28, version 5.0.0*

I’ve been with BOI for over 10 years and the service has only continually gotten worse, for some reason as of a few days ago it’s removed Face ID from the app, my passcode is not working and can’t get on to check my bank balance.

### 3/5 — Payee payment restrictions

*2026-05-14, version 5.0.0*

I live in the UK and had to pay for  a boiler replacement for my rental apartment in Ireland, totally cost was 5,612 euro and because it’s a new payee I can only send 1000 euro. This is unacceptable as a loyal customer of over 25 years and makes me look like I can’t pay my bill up front which I wanted to do.I understand about banking fraud but surely customers can choose  what to pay for bone fide work.

### 4/5 — Works well overall

*2026-05-06, version 5.0.0*

I have always found over the years, that BOI generally and the app specifically have worked well for me and most of the facilities offered within the app are pretty intuitive.

### 3/5 — So bad it’s actually funny

*2026-03-10, version 5.0.0*

I’d say an AI web builder could build something smoother in about 45 seconds

### 1/5 — Suddenly can’t transfer money

*2026-02-10, version 4.0.0*

Suddenly can’t transfer money to different accounts asked for passcode and entered it and shows only declined button

### 1/5 — Updates

*2025-12-12, version 3.5.0*

My app hasn’t had any updates on 4 months!  Given the security with other apps and platforms it seems strange that nothing is happening here

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-11-28, version 3.5.0*

So slow , laggy and behind compared to every other banking app and the bank itself are useless too
