### 4/5 — Works well

*2026-07-20, version 4.0.260400*

Fairly complete and works as expected.

### 3/5 — Went down in latest upgrade

*2026-07-16, version 4.0.260400*

Not as good as it was before

### 2/5 — Over complicated

*2026-07-05, version 4.0.260400*

Why make it more difficult. 
Multiple steps to see and do things differently. It is easier to make mistakes now that you have to search for the same thing to click on that was right in front of you before.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2026-07-01, version 4.0.260400*

Love this C1st app! It does everything I need and is very easy to use. Full of great features!!

### 5/5 — Great App!!

It does everything that I need it 2 do!

### 5/5 — mm on mill

### 5/5 — Evsamine86

Excellent

### 5/5 — Great Credit Union

*2026-06-22, version 4.0.260400*

Absolutely the best Credit Card union ever

### 3/5 — Changes

*2026-06-22, version 4.0.260400*

I am not a fan of the new look and arrangement. The old arrangement was easier to navigate. So many more clicks to get to what I need. 5 stars to the old arrangement.

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-06-20, version 4.0.260400*

This app is user friendly and entails  easy access to any category of information I need. It’s just a great app!

### 5/5 — Community 1st CU

*2026-06-20, version 4.0.260400*

The best banking app that I ever used

### 2/5 — New app- inconvenient. Like the old one much better.

*2026-06-20, version 4.0.260400*

Don't like the new app. Prefer the old one.
The new app looks ok I guess, but has extra steps to do what I want. 
I find it inconvenient.

### 4/5 — Carrie

*2026-06-19, version 4.0.260400*

Easy to use!!

### 2/5 — Not a great update

*2026-06-19, version 4.0.260400*

Takes more clicks to do the same thing for probably 90% of people. I want to see all of my accounts at once not slide through them.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2026-06-18, version 4.0.260400*

Love it. I can do all my banking from home and keep and eye on balances

### 5/5 — So much better

*2026-06-18, version 4.0.260400*

This new version is so much better than the previous version.  It actually works when you need it too

### 5/5 — Works well

### 5/5 — Update

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — C1st app

*2026-07-15, version 4.0.260400*

The sliding tabs of bank accounts is too much. The earlier version with accounts shown as a list was much easier to understand and work with.

### 1/5 — Too much

*2026-06-29, version 4.0.260400*

Liked it the way it was.

### 1/5 — I hate this new app

*2026-06-16, version 4.0.260400*

I hate this new app!!!!! I don’t like it’s set up or function. To me it’s not as user friendly as the old app!!!! I want the old style back!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-04-27, version 4.0.250701*

Can’t transfer money from one account to the other about 75% of the time. I have to close it out completely OVER AND OVER, and usually it still won’t let me transfer funds . I might actually switch banks because the online banking is so inconvenient. I keep hoping it’s just an update needed, but it’s NEVER AN UPDATE.

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-02-21, version 4.0.250701*

This app can’t open load or even work properly on full bars , no background apps running, full WiFi bars and this garbage won’t open. Had this problem for 7+ years and it’s only getting worse. About to lose my business

### 1/5 — Needs severe updates.

*2025-09-26, version 4.0.250701*

I love the bank. I love the staff. I love everything but the app. I have a MTG with you guys and would drop US Bank if you updated your app. No access to Zelle! The app is just way out of date!

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2025-09-23, version 4.0.250701*

They will charge you money and not even let you know, and they will let it pile up until you have none. Worst bank ever.

### 1/5 — App is garbage

*2025-09-19, version 4.0.250701*

Review in title.

### 1/5 — Took away the external account payment feature

*2022-01-25*

A year ago I would’ve rated this app a 5. But now for probably about 4+ months, the loan payment feature to pay from an external account has been unavailable. In order to go around this issue, I have to transfer money from my external account into the savings account I hold at the bank (which I don’t use for anything) then transfer the money from my savings account to my loan. I understand that apps have issues some times and fixes need made, but considering this issue has been happening for months, it’s clear they aren’t really working to fix it. I contacted customer service about it on two separate occasions and all they’ve been able to offer is the work around of using my savings account instead. It definitely adds a level of inconvenience that makes me displeased with the app.

### 1/5 — Not a fan.

*2021-11-20, version 1.1.5713*

I also belong to Deere Employees Credit Union. There online banking and cellphone Mobile has got it going on. Whoever is designing their programming knows what they’re doing. Community first always freezes up or doesn’t load. It also lacks user options. and it’s kind of boring to look at. It lacks Authority.
