### 2/5 — Makes no sense

*2025-02-12, version 4.1.17*

I cannot do anything!! No MBway transfer. No transfer to my French bank account and nobody seems to care.

### 1/5 — Pior aplicação de banco

*2024-12-03, version 4.1.14*

Sempre foi ruim, mas desde a última atualização, não consigo movimentar o meu dinheiro. A segunda autenticação não funciona. Um absurdo. Preciso acessar o meu dinheiro e estou sendo impedida.

### 2/5 — Funcionalidades básicas do app não funcionam

*2024-05-20, version 4.1.9*

Copiar e colar o IBAN não desbloqueia o botão continuar
Transferências falham sem uma mensagem relevante ao usuário
Entre outros problemas 
O aplicativo tem inúmeras features, mas muuuuitos bugs. Acho que o foco do banco deveria ser garantir o funcionamento básico do app ao invés de ficar adicionando mais funcionalidades.

### 1/5 — Beyond awful

*2023-12-15*

Logged in with correct credentials, device was blocked for no good reason, without any way to recover.

**Developer response:** Hello, please send us your contact details to mobile@bancobest.pt so that we can help you. Thank you.

### 1/5 — App bloqueia o meu dispositivo

*2023-09-25, version 4.1.4*

Aplicação fala que meu telemóvel está bloqueado para efetuar login

### 1/5 — App bloqueado

*2023-09-10, version 4.1.3*

O App não esta funcionando desde a última atualização do IOS.

### 1/5 — App bloqueado

*2023-09-04, version 4.1.2*

Meu aplicativo do celular consta bloqueado e estou precisando usar. Já abri a conta mais de um mês e até hoje não recebi o pin para usar o cartão .

### 4/5 — Poucas notificações

*2023-07-27, version 4.1.1*

Gosto bastante do app e do banco, porém sinto falta de algumas notificações via push, tipo quando um valor entra ou sai da conta. É importante saber na hora que acontece e não depender de aceder a aplicação para ver.

### 2/5 — English language

*2022-09-17*

Why doesn’t this app have the option to change to english? Can’t understand anything

**Developer response:** Hello Shika Caelum, you can choose your preferred language at Personal Area (Área Pessoal) > My personalisation (A minha personalização) > Preferred Language PT/EN (Idioma preferido PT/EN). Thank you in advance!

### 1/5 — Não consigo fazer minha conta

*2022-05-20, version 4.0.63*

No ato da finalização para escolher o tipo de conta e aceitar os termos não finaliza pois tem um tipo de formulário e não seleciona.
