### 1/5 — Eh?!?!

*2025-11-04, version 4.1*

What kind of app is this? It provides absolutely no useful information about my pension. Better off using the online portal unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-10-30, version 4.1*

Can never view my benefit statement, and going to death benefits pops up an accept decline box with no dialogue. Use the website

### 1/5 — App needs work.

*2025-10-29, version 4.1*

Pension has disappeared and can't find any info not the best app needs more work or updates.

### 1/5 — Utterly Useless App

*2025-10-27, version 4.1*

The civil service pension s team are currently doing an appalling job of looking after the needs of those working in the civil service. The app is appalling quality and the website is not much better. The team behind the app and website needs to put more work into offering a good service to its customers. I will raise this with my local union and employer as it is near impossible to contact the pensions team.
Civil Service employees deserve better treatment.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-10-01, version 4.1*

This app appears to have been abandoned by the publisher. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Speed - or lack thereof…

*2025-09-06, version 4.1*

What on Earth is going on with the performance on this app!  It takes well over 2 minutes to even log in let alone try to access any data! Have a few other pension apps and they’re like lightning compared to this.

### 1/5 — No longer able to sign in

*2025-09-02, version 4.1*

As the title says, I can’t sign in anymore, it tie as my credentials and then the blue circle just keeps on spinning! Also where is the pension forecast?

### 1/5 — rubbish

*2025-08-29, version 4.1*

no matter when i access this it says my ABS is not available.   for anything useful you need to go to the full website and even that is not great.   pointless app

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2025-08-20, version 4.1*

If only civil servants could get away with the level of service provided by private contractors such as those behind CSPS - appalling service- this app has not worked properly for over 12 months, should be taken down by Apple

Updated - no mods for 4Yrs - pointless waste of data

### 1/5 — Trash tier

*2025-08-19, version 4.1*

Never see a statement despite the site itself having one. Never updates. Completely useless application.

Use the website and save yourself the hassle
