### 2/5 — Why?

*2026-07-05, version 3.28.2*

I’ve had this for long time, no problems. Now it wants an update but won’t update. I cleared half of my phone for this and now it won’t work. FRISTRATING

### 4/5 — Bill pay

*2025-12-13, version 3.30.0*

Good afternoon Sir/Maam, I do enjoy online banking-however I would enjoy it better if the clients had access to a bill pay that was able to be routed through the ACH to pay our debts rather than the Bank sending a check through the mail. This is the only thing that I don’t like about Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. Other than this it’s a great bank.  Thank you!

### 2/5 — Entering $ is sketchy

*2025-12-04, version 3.29.0*

Sometimes have to enter # several times to register, causing x amounts

### 1/5 — Latest update makes app nonfunctional

*2025-11-14, version 3.17.0*

Is there a good reason you need IOS 17 for a basic banking app? Can't use it anymore - would really appreciate some back-compatibility - no reason to pick on us old iPhone 8 users.

### 1/5 — iOS

*2025-11-01, version 3.17.0*

I have a perfectly good phone but it’s older and my iOS isn’t 16 or higher so I can no longer use the AP with my phone. This is very frustrating because I check the AP daily!

### 1/5 — Your update

*2025-10-29, version 3.17.0*

Well I updated because I had to and now I can’t get into my account because it keeps saying update to or later. I have later and my phone is up to date. Seriously and talk to customer service is like pulling teeth out with out novocaine . Hope enough people complain about the update in order to use your app it drives you nuts to!!!

### 5/5 — On line banking

*2025-10-18, version 3.27.0*

Thank you so much for a smooth transaction from woodsville bank

### 5/5 — Cancel a transfer ??

*2025-09-12, version 3.26.1*

If you make a mistake can you add a 5- second cancellation option

### 3/5 — It worked but it is sensitive

*2025-06-26, version 3.24.0*

It did not accept my first try stating the deposit amount was different from what was on the check which was not true. I couldn’t figure out how to continue.

### 5/5 — Download Upgrade

*2025-06-06, version 3.23.1*

It will not let me download this app. Very frustrating…

### 1/5 — Doesn't work well

*2026-08-07, version 3.36.0*

Can't enter numbers on ipad except by typing them in another app and c&p’ing them to bank app. I've gone through tech support & even google, nothing resolves it.

### 1/5 — Newest up date

*2026-06-19, version 3.28.2*

I have been unable to update the latest version for weeks now.  I have talked to the local bank in Randolph and they said they do not have a solution.  I have tried to update my operating system to no avail.

### 1/5 — App Won’t Work

*2026-06-12, version 3.35.0*

Just did the most recent update and now the app won’t load. Just stays on the start up screen, doesn’t give me the option to log in. Never had issues with the app before.

### 1/5 — Updated and doesn’t work

*2026-05-30, version 3.34.1*

Pretty poor piece of software.

### 1/5 — Tap to capture

*2026-05-13, version 3.32.0*

The mobile deposit function is terrible on this app.

### 1/5 — Bank service going down

*2026-04-09, version 3.32.0*

I’ve had this about for about 3 years and for the past 2 every other night the app seems to go into down time so I can’t make any transactions. With that it’ll say I have more or less money than I actually do. Still with all of that if I try to make a purchase while it’s like this I can’t buy anything and it adds up to my daily swipes so know I can’t buy anything regardless. It’s currently 11:14 at night and of course I can’t call or talk with anyone. It just shows how much they don’t care about banking apps or even with you for that matter.

### 1/5 — Functionality is very limited.

*2026-03-19, version 3.32.0*

Adding a link for Bill Pay which only results in a message to use a laptop is not useful . Hiding the routing /ABA number is also  unhelpful. I still haven't found it using the mobile app. I guess I need to exit the app and use Google.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-04, version 3.31.2*

Keeps losing credentials so have to keep logging in, frustrating app

### 1/5 — Annoying ai

*2025-12-31, version 3.30.0*

The use of ai is annoying and unnecessary, and it shows a lack of respect towards the costumer and to employees. Because I was unable to use the phone number that is used on my account despite having an account password that I could verbalize to a customer service representative. The AI on the customer service line was unhelpful and made me regret choosing for harbour bank, and trust as my primary Bank frankly should this issue not be addressed I would consider moving my business elsewhere in the area in which this bank operates many folks would get upset, frustrated and be unable to use the customer service line having an option to be able to directly connect to a customer service representative or to negate ai would be an optimal choice for customer retention this shows a lack of care, empathy, and brains on the part of the company for integrating AI as it is environmentally terrible, and also terrible for the jobs of their employees as well as the experience of their company.

### 1/5 — Not Everyone has a modern Mobile Phone

*2025-11-25, version 3.17.0*

I totally dissatisfied that they would not have their app work with all phones. If I want to consider buying a new phone then it would probably not be a problem. But not everyone wants to do the latest phone. Plus I have issues transferring money from one bank to another. It might be time to close the account.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-08, version 3.36.0*

Always reliable. Great service.

### 5/5 — I Love My Bank

*2026-07-30, version 3.36.0*

This app works too well.  I never even get to bring my dog into the bank anymore to get treats. I miss the trivia questions

### 5/5 — Inconvenience

*2026-07-29, version 3.28.0*

I can no longer use the app because they mandate you to update your phone and I choose no too. I like older iPhone software and now the app is useless. No other apps do this to me. I get it but its frustrating. Anyway, it was ok otherwise.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-23, version 3.36.0*

Always come through!! Very trustworthy.

### 5/5 — Best Bank

*2026-04-13, version 3.32.0*

I switched from td and would absolutely recommend Bar Harbor.

### 5/5 — Great Bank!!!

*2026-03-13, version 3.32.0*

I’ve had a very pleasant change over from Woodsville guarantee

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-03, version 3.30.2*

Can do almost everything you need to on app

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2026-01-25, version 3.30.2*

Because I am a very senior senior, I often have problems doing things on line.  However the  Bar Harbor website makes paying bills very easy - even for me!

### 5/5 — Fustrated with BHBT

*2025-11-08, version 3.17.0*

I just went through the long process of deleting and offloading apps and content on my iphone to make space to download the 17.0 or greter IOS system required for your new version of BHBT app. After upgraded IOS the app still will not update and give me access to my banking acct information.

### 5/5 — Simonds Family

*2025-11-03, version 3.28.0*

We love our Bar Harbor branch in Rutland Vt!
