### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2026-07-29, version 7.0.260300*

Zelle doesn’t work in the app, you can’t do transfers from your checking to the savings. It’s crazy that the app does nothing they say it should.

### 1/5 — Change of address form

*2026-07-11, version 7.0.260300*

Why is it so hard to find the change of address form????

### 1/5 — App is so outdated and duct taped together

*2026-06-11, version 7.0.260300*

It fails to deposit my check several times before it works and other bill options won’t open in mobile setting, and now is totally missing

### 1/5 — Basic.

*2026-06-04, version 7.0.260300*

It works, which is the most important thing. The UX/UI is giving 2003, which makes it displeasing to look at and use. However, it’s an accurate mobile translation of the outdated website.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-04-06, version 7.0.250900*

Impossible to navigate unless your not old enough to remember books

### 1/5 — Requesting Card

*2026-03-15, version 7.0.250900*

The app is fine for the most part. But for years now there hasn’t been an option to request a new or replace card (debit or credit) I haven’t had a card for a few years because I just do not have time to go into a bank and talk to someone, nor have the patience to talk to an automated system. Being able to request a new card that has expired would be great. Also being able to receive zelle would be the best thing ever

### 1/5 — Review of app

*2025-10-23, version 7.0.250900*

Does not show bank transactions properly: Balance in account does not agree with running balance in transaction screen. “Chat” icon covers up menu in phone portrait mode. Billpay does not work on iPad. No response from Support when contacted. This is the second time I’ve posted.

### 1/5 — Dated, clunky and not modern

*2025-06-24, version 7.0.5910*

Read the title. Focus on UX

### 1/5 — Terrible interface

*2025-05-29, version 7.0.5910*

BrightStar changed the façade of their app and it is absolutely horrible to use.

### 1/5 — Total confusion

*2025-05-28, version 7.0.5910*

I can’t figure out how to use it. I’m panicking.
