### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-07-10*

A bill late because card won’t unlock after multiple attempts, re-downloading several times. So disappointed!!!

### 1/5 — What is the point of this app?

*2025-05-29*

NM.

### 2/5 — Card defense update

*2025-04-05*

The app keeps stating to update, and I have but it still says it needs an update!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-27*

I have installed, reinstalled, talked to tech support numerous times and could never get it to work. I had money taken from my debit card. Yet, I can’t shut the card off. I have been with this bank since US Air and this will force me to change.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-12-17*

Doe not work. Tried multiple times.

### 2/5 — Card Notifications - does not work

*2024-02-15*

Have reported this multiple times, reinstalled app, etc.  Never has worked at all. Best way is to call and have a representative set it up the way you want over the phone.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-11-28*

This app is just about as useless as this bank - does nothing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-29*

I’ve tried twice to set this up. After I enter all my info and tap on enroll nothing happens.

### 2/5 — Apple Pay

*2023-04-21*

According to this app, after setting up a debit card, I noticed the Apple Wallet icon. I presumed it’s so I can merge the Card Defense into Apple Pay. No good … this setup quits as it cannot communicate with the bank for card verification.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-11-20*

Have tried many times over months to enroll and keep getting a error message thats it’s a problem on their side. Even called CU for help useless also.
