### 1/5 — I missed the older application

*2023-07-19*

This is the kind of app that makes you miss going to the bank to get the services. It got lots of issue in it and it is very discouraging to use

### 1/5 — App won’t launch

*2023-07-18*

For some reason the app won’t launch and after multiple tries when it does it won’t verify and authenticate, literally the worst mobile banking app

### 1/5 — BOA app

*2023-07-16*

Really very bad app. I recommend not to use it.

### 1/5 — BOA app

*2023-07-13*

Really very bad app. I recommend not to use it.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2023-06-25*

After installing the app it asks my account and when I enter my account the system sends OTP to my phone number but I can’t type anything on the verification, do something about it.

### 1/5 — App became useless after update

*2023-03-30*

The bank recently updated its app and it became useless. Can’t make transfers, frequent error messages, can’t make payments etc.

### 1/5 — Low quality app

*2023-03-21*

You make it worse!!

### 1/5 — Still not working on iPhone app 7 March 2023

*2023-03-19*

19 March 2023 The BOA mobile app is not working properly on iPhone. I’ve never had such an ineffective bank app. It worked only ONCE for a bank to bank transfer, but since then it doesn’t recognize my login details, or it doesn’t connect with my accounts, or I have to sign up
over and over and then I get “cannot verify user”! Like all major banks, BOA should focus on creating ONE app that works for everything a client would need. Not try to create one useless app after another. Also consider changing developers

### 1/5 — New app isn’t working

*2023-03-08*

It’s not working

### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone

*2023-03-04, version 1.0.5*

Get new developers, this app is unworkable

### 1/5 — Dr

*2023-03-02, version 1.0.5*

This recent update is not working on iPhone 6s+ iOS 13… can u add previous version to App Store

### 1/5 — Don’t update

*2023-02-28, version 1.0.5*

The new version not working specially ios don’t update

### 1/5 — It’s not that much

*2023-02-23, version 1.0.4*

The bank gives good service than other private banks. but in this application it’s not working correctly and needs more connection not only that it needs confirmation to login plus in every single transaction needs  confirmation one by one.

So this application is totally useless in comparing with other banks. i almost chose going to bank than using this app.

### 1/5 — It is not working on iOS

*2022-12-26, version 1.0.4*

When I open the app to use it says
“ The SSL certificate is invalid.
The server cannot be trusted.
The SSL certificate is invalid. This is allowed only in development mode.”
And The update site rejected the query.
Error encountered during update.

### 1/5 — Absolutely irrelevant

*2022-12-16, version 1.0.4*

The app is not an app but a web client… needs a lot of connection. You always need an otp to log in each time. And I can’t even send money it just says please select and i am unable to select account.

### 1/5 — password resetting

*2023-12-04*

It would be great if the app had an option to reset password. to get a new password i had to go one of those branches. It’s just waste of time!!!!!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2023-11-27*

Very buggy app! It lets me down everytime I want to make transactions. So slow even if it works.

### 1/5 — Update the app!

*2023-10-25*

I am sick of this app. We need update asap! One of the biggest banks in the country but can’t make smooth and easy to use app. The app is so slow full of bugs. This is disappointing!

### 1/5 — Unable to type the OTP on initial use

*2023-10-11*

Please fix the issue of not being able to type in the OTP on initial use of the app.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-09-23*

Always stuck, always slow, always restarting the app. Just terrible! Worst banking app!!! Please do better!

### 1/5 — Nothing works.

*2023-09-16*

Waste of time and energy. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Comment

*2023-08-27*

This app version is not working properly on my iPhone

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2023-08-26*

I have downloaded and removed this app many times and visited the branch in hopes that I can get it to work but it never did. 

The bank is great compare to other banks in Ethiopia & the staffs are nicer but I don’t know how a big established like BOA can’t get someone to build a good app. It’s not hard. You don’t only benefit your customer but you will increase productivity and customer satisfaction for your staff if you get this fixed.

### 1/5 — The app is not working it goes up to the verification page but it did not allow me to verify

*2023-08-03*

Even *815# is not working, I could not make any transaction the last two weeks because of your system inconvenience.

### 1/5 — BOA, another garbage app

*2023-07-29*

I signed up to the bank because of the ‘tech advocacy’ the bank promotes, but i feel like its just a bait.

It blows my mind how a banks app is not even able to login to the system.

Please fix you app entirely, we need a better experience.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2022-10-20, version 1.0.4*

Much better app than going branch and wasting time for turn.

### 5/5 — Excellent app! Thanks BOA.

*2021-02-19, version 1.0.4*

Most of the country’s banks develop app for android phone, but This app is developed for the first time for ios users, and it’s useful for those who had an intention to make a transactions!!

### 4/5 — Display More detailed and more records of transactions

*2023-10-21*

It would be great to have the option to see more of our recent transaction details and records and being able to print out transactions in a pdf or other file formats to view and not just the last three and only their dates it’s too vague. Please fix that. Other than that the app is great other than some minor bugs.

### 4/5 — App currently not opening on Iphone7

*2021-12-23, version 1.0.4*

I have been using the app for a while for both android and iOS. But currently, the app is not opening on my IPhone 7. I have uninstalled it and install again but the same thing. What happened?

### 2/5 — New app not working

*2022-08-01, version 1.0.4*

The new app stopped working recently. Luckily, I am using the older version, which was still installed on my phone ( and not available on the AppStore now). Please invest the same amount and time as the android’s on the ios.
