### 2/5 — Mobile Deposit Broken

*2024-02-04, version 9.6.3*

Perfect checks can’t be deposited. The app says the corners are filled are bent when they aren’t.  The image created is perfect but the app won’t accept it.  Please fix.

### 3/5 — DisAppointed

*2022-11-11, version 9.6.3*

Many times the app doesn’t open. Very frustrating.
But when it finally opens it’s easy to use.

### 3/5 — Request timed out

*2022-04-11, version 8.0.3*

I got timed out many times, i can’t even log in anymore. Request Timed out!

### 3/5 — 5 attempts to load the app

*2022-01-10, version 8.0.3*

On average the app just won’t load, hit or miss mostly miss though.

### 3/5 — Good interface

*2021-08-31, version 8.0.3*

This is a good app. Great interface and very user-friendly, but it’s buggy and unreliable.. sometimes loading screen takes too long or even doesn’t load at all and I’m stuck on loading screen. At times it also seems slow and unresponsive. I still like the app though, it’s just those little things :)

### 3/5 — Too slow

*2021-07-05, version 8.0.3*

Sometimes when trying to open the app it’s takes sooooo long. They need to update the software or something but once I get in everything is fully functional.

### 1/5 — Need to fix

*2021-01-26, version 8.0.3*

Hi i tried to log in to my account but it takes a while and doesn’t loading at all.

### 3/5 — Good app but too slow to load

*2020-12-01, version 8.0.3*

This app is very useful, but it takes a while for the Face ID to even pop up and it also takes a little while for it to load after recognizing my face. Other than that, it’s good. Wish it didn’t take so long for Face ID to pop up though.

### 1/5 — App needs help

*2020-10-04, version 8.0.3*

The App is slow. I always log out and when I log back in the app thinks I didn’t log out. Opening the app is so slow that it is FASTER to go to my laptop, turn it on, boot it up, connect to the internet, google bank site, log in to get into my account. Meanwhile the app on my phone is still loading.

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2020-07-29, version 8.0.3*

Great app but After it times out 
It does not reload

I have to delete the app and reload

### 1/5 — Not great for businesses

*2026-05-01, version 9.15.4*

Too hard to transfer money in larger amounts. Need to physically go in, or make numerous small transferees or bill pars on the app.

### 1/5 — Mobile deposit

*2026-01-14, version 9.15.4*

The remote mobile deposit feature works in consistently and is archaic. They should buy the products that other banks use for this system which regularly will not deposit a reasonably endorsed check.

### 1/5 — FAIL

*2025-05-04, version 9.6.3*

Ever since I got the Iphone 16, the app will not work.  First opening it tries face id.  Every other app works.  Not this one!  Reports FINGERPRINT error, which is not possible.  Then it reports (on first try!) that I’ve exceeded login tries and it is locked.  Then I can get by with resetting the password.  EVERY TIME!  I cannot work with this bank on this basis.  This is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Horrible mobile deposit

*2024-12-11, version 9.6.3*

Only bank that makes it almost impossible to take a check picture for mobile deposit. First Hawaiian and Bank of Hawaii much better an easier.

### 1/5 — App is stuck in 2000 technology needs updating

*2024-03-05, version 9.6.3*

App is stuck in 2000 technology needs updating

### 1/5 — Failed to deposit my check several times

*2024-02-26, version 9.6.3*

I’ve used this app a few times. I have several times had used the remote deposit and for unknown reason to me it has deleted it. Vertically frustrating.

### 1/5 — So sad it rarely works

*2023-12-01, version 9.6.3*

I really wish this app worked like it should. Sometimes the mobile deposit will randomly stop working. I called customer service before and they said to uninstall, restart my phone, and reinstall. I’ve done that multiple times and it still won’t catch. Please fix the app. 🙏🏻

### 1/5 — Enroll

*2023-06-30, version 9.6.3*

Why is there no Zelle on this app.

### 1/5 — Slow or freezes

*2021-06-28, version 8.0.3*

This app is either slow to open or just don’t open at all. Then after some time, I get an error message that the “time has expired”. The app worked ok the first week I downloaded it. Then spotty after that. It has been almost 2 weeks since I’ve been able to check my balances. I open my WF and Golden1 apps and they open in seconds.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-06-01, version 8.0.3*

This app is terrible. It works 50% of the time and takes a really long time to open. Really frustrating when you want to check your balance and make payments.

### 5/5 — Very slow
