Not able to use app. ### 1/5 — Keep on askng me to update .. but I just installed it fresh *2022-11-06, version 9.2.0* What should I do Keep on askng me to update .. as soon as I open but I just installed it fresh ### 1/5 — Slowest app ever *2022-08-17* Cant believe a global bank with an app built by IT Engg having such performance issue. Better not to use. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Slow and bad navigation design *2021-04-14, version 8.0* 1. Everything is sooo slow, servers are sleeping all the time? 2. What are those pages? The back button comes on top rather than slide to back. Who is designing these non user friendly navigation. ### 1/5 — Needs to be upgraded *2018-07-18, version 5.5* Options given in previews not available, and some of the links doesn't open on phone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App working *2025-10-05* App hardly works most important days to book holiday an the apps down the day before, not very gd when it’s first come first serve. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-02-20* It’s ridiculous how nothing works when you need it, no access to your rota 99% of the time and not being able to ever view payslips! ### 1/5 — Still no work shifts *2025-01-13* This app has recently not been working more than it is working, we need this to review our up coming shifts please fix this major issue ### 1/5 — Patchy at best *2025-01-11* Half of the features don’t work a good portion of the time.. especially Alvaria and payslips ### 1/5 — Is it really an app? *2024-03-28* An app serves a purpose (e.g. making a reservation, checking finances, playing a game). If opening and swiping to close or taking up memory is an app, then this is qualifies. Outside of that, this is pretty much non-functional. Barclays would best served to scrap this trash and give it some high school STEM students as a project. They could make a better app then what is offered here. The colleagues deserve better!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed in Customer Care *2023-05-23* I have been a loyal customer of Barclays for over seven years, faithfully making all my payments and maintaining a good credit history. However, my recent experience has left me extremely disappointed and frustrated with their lack of consideration for their customers' well-being. After diligently reducing my debt to under $1000, I was shocked to discover that my credit card limit, which was previously set at $11,000, had been drastically reduced to almost the same amount. This sudden reduction felt like a blow, considering the progress I had made in managing my debt responsibly. It is disheartening to see that Barclays prioritizes their bottom line above all else, without considering the loyalty and responsible financial behavior demonstrated by long-standing customers like myself. It seems that they are more interested in maximizing their own profits rather than genuinely supporting their customers' financial well-being. While I understand that banks must assess risk and make adjustments accordingly, this drastic reduction without any clear explanation or consideration for my payment history feels unfair and arbitrary. It is disappointing to witness a bank that claims to value its customers neglect their commitment to providing fair treatment and support. I hope that by sharing my experience, potential customers can be more aware of the practices employed by Barclays. I encourage individuals seeking a bank that truly prioritizes their customers' financial health and well-being to explore other alternatives that align more closely with these values. ### 1/5 — Update doesn’t work *2022-11-07* Every time I open the app it tells me update available but then nothing in the App Store and keep getting an error message ### 1/5 — Updates *2022-11-07* Note that the app does not let you update when you click on the option. It takes you open icon in AppStore not update susan2514@ ### 1/5 — Unable to update *2022-11-07* Similar to the previous contributor the upload as requested gets caught in a loop and therefore does not open. Please fix asap otherwise the app is useless. ### 1/5 — Update *2022-11-07* My app will not update Every time I try it just says open no update showing! You cannot now use the app ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Much better than expected *2020-04-01* Works great. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-08-14* Very useful app for Barclays colleagues, keep up the good work ### 3/5 — Update required *2022-11-06* Have done the update and now the app won’t open, says update required and takes you to the App Store. Once there only option is to open as the app is already updated. Needs fixing please ### 3/5 — Functional, just. Not a good experience *2022-05-26* I use it because it does functionally work in most cases, but everything it does, it does poorly. Particularly irritating is not clearing notification badges when I’ve seen the notification. ### 3/5 — Buggy on iPad *2022-03-30* App does not start correctly in landscape mode which is super annoying. The bridge buttons also do not click (while they do on mobile!). ### 3/5 — Update has broken rotation on IPads *2020-12-01, version 7.4* This app has always worked well for Barclays colleagues, but recent update when using on iPad in landscape mode, app and links open in portrait orientation! Please fix very annoying as have to physically flip iPad from landscape to portrait back to landscape again after every link press! Other than that good app and keep up the good work. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Glitchy update *2025-01-07* If I’d have realised the update would mess up the app I really wouldn’t have bothered, when you rely on it to check your shifts which can frequently change & nothing on the app works it’s pointless. ### 2/5 — Buggy but helpful *2020-12-22* 2 Stars only due to: 1. The app is very helpful for viewing timesheets/unblocking my password 2. Numerous times when using the app it just closes or gives errors making it very difficult to get anything done 3. I have recently changed devices, following all of the steps to get registered and just can’t. I’m now left with no app when everyone is working from home and over the Xmas period with very little staff in I would give 5 stars if it wasn’t as difficult to use due to above issues --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
