### 2/5 — Log in errors due to are you human log in protection.

*2024-07-27, version 4013.2.0*

Ever since they added the are you human check the app errors 2-3 times before it lets me log in, they told me it was because I didn’t have the newest version of the app like I’m a idiot for not having the newest version, this was not long after I had downloaded the update so they must of changed it again because of problems so I downloaded the new up date and it still does the same thing, I even checked to see if it had been updated again before giving a review.

### 3/5 — Accessing mobile banking

*2024-04-05, version 4012.2.0*

I love banking mobile. It’s much more convenient then driving to a brick and mortar bank. Not sure why, but the app started to make me sign in twice. The second time is when I click on any account. It’s annoying.

### 4/5 — issues on freezing an account

*2023-12-08, version 4010.2.1*

a while a go I moved to another state and I contacted Embold i tried to block a gym from withdrawing money from my checking due to getting automatically charged after i called the gym and left massages numerous times to stop charging me. 
the gym was unresponsive so i reached out to Embold to freeze my account. they kept saying they need a proof that i called the gym first before they proceed.  
I lost home that Embold is really going to help. how could i give them the proof of what messages i left on gym’s answering machine?! 
The gym  eventually stopped the automatic withdrawal after another month of me trying to communicate with a real person instead of answering machine. 
other than that, i’m pleased with them.

### 3/5 — Review

*2023-04-03, version 4006.1.0*

I only have one negative thing and that is I don’t like the name change. I always felt so proud to be apart of CFCU and being a member for so many years. 
Now I don’t even know how to pronounce the new name. 
I do wish us all to achieve success in your goal for the change.
Linda

### 4/5 — Fabulous

*2023-03-28, version 4006.1.0*

I enjoy how easy it is to track the my monies.

### 3/5 — GUI

*2022-10-19, version 4002.1.2*

Please stop changing the GUI

### 5/5 — New update is bad

*2022-08-31, version 4002.1.2*

Does not show available balance like it used to. It is clunky now, the old version was better in my opinion. I would like to see the available balance instead of going into the specific account and seeing the pending amount of a transaction and having to calculate it myself

### 5/5 — Yummy money

*2022-08-20, version 3023.4.0*

Yummy yummy

### 5/5 — 5 star

### 5/5 — Excellent C U

*2021-04-08, version 3017.0.0*

Excellent C U. So helpful and professional. 
Trustworthy.

### 3/5 — Features not working?

*2021-03-02, version 3016.1.0*

What’s the point in having the option to enable a 4 digit pin to log in if it’s just going to randomly revert back to password login? Which then makes you set up the pin log in all over again. :/ also why couldn’t this be the only bank that doesn’t accept overdraft fees? Just cancel the God D&@$ transaction

### 4/5 — Liking the mobile app

*2021-03-01, version 3016.1.0*

I’m hoping this time it works I keep having problems with it so I’m hoping this last time that I went into the office and they help me with it was a young lady I don’t remember her name but she helped me a lot so I’m hoping this works thank you

### 5/5 — Wonderful place to bank

### 1/5 — What’s going on?

*2023-04-20, version 4006.2.0*

Ever since the rebrand and the app update, I can no longer link my account to pay my bills. The app freezes and crashes on a regular basis. My app is up to date. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no luck. Hopefully the developer can fix this before I start bank shopping.

### 1/5 — oof

*2020-09-29, version 3015.0.0*

finally got a much needed update but now the app won’t open at all. just sits on the loading screen before eventually going to a page error screen. don’t have high hopes

### 1/5 — Lousy at mobile deposit

*2017-11-17, version 4.1.0*

Couldn't get the app to accept a check on mobile deposit despite following all instructions clearly. No remedy available.

### 1/5 — Miss the old app / mobile deposit doesn't work

*2016-02-16, version 4.0.0*

I MISS THE OLD APP! The new app forces me out all the time, I don't like the new setup, and the mobile deposit NEVER recognizes the amount. It's quite irritating and it needs to be fixed. Please.

### 1/5 — Wish there was a zero star

*2016-02-07, version 4.0.0*

One star is generous. I have had to tease my password multiple times after getting locked out. I STILL can't log on through the app after this super awesome update.

### 1/5 — Worst Banking App Ever!

*2016-02-01, version 4.0.0*

By far the worst app I have ever used. Constant problems. Got locked out after one failed attempt. Sorry I couldn't remember which password I use for this rarely used account. After having account unlocked it was a nightmare of failure to load messages, forced to change password and add capitals, numbers and $&@?! characters to ensure I forget it again and get locked out once more.  By far the least user friendly banking app I've ever encountered. Especially for a bank that is the least accommodating of all the accounts I have or ever had.  Thanks Obama. This app is a major fail.

### 1/5 — New update is not working

*2015-12-29, version 4.0.0*

Who did this?  And why is there no service to fix it?  It's been a month now. Not only is my bank ripping out local banks to favor the greedy people of West Linn but, now your not even fixing the banking system?

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2015-12-26, version 4.0.0*

This is a horrible app.  I have spent over 5 hours trying to pay 2 bills.  Really thinking about changing banks.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!! Update needs fixed

*2015-12-22, version 4.0.0*

This upgrade doesn't work ! With many attempts to log in it takes me back to a screen to log in again. Then it ends up taking my to the online website!!'  This app worked perfect before the new upgrade! Please fix upgrade so it actually works!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-07-24, version 2.3.6*

I get an error message every single time I try to log in. My login information is correct and still won't work.
