### 2/5 — App crashes

*2026-06-01, version 3.0.15*

Since last update, the app  tries to check Face ID multiple times.  Loads and wipes investment summary on initial load, crashes when moving between tabs.  Have tried removing app and reinstalling app, but same problem exists.

### 2/5 — So so unreliable

*2026-05-19, version 3.0.15*

The previous version of this app wasn’t great but at least it worked. This version will only work on one device some of the time. To make it worse, this version of the app has actually lost some of the features of the previous app.

All I want to be able to do is have a look at my super balance when I want to look at it. Really not that hard except when using the app. That in this day and I have to go to the website and log on there is ridiculous. ESSS do better.

### 1/5 — Terrible - New app, less informative

*2026-02-15, version 3.0.10*

I have ESSS & ESS and the app doesn’t give me my combined figure? Why? My latest transaction (on the front page) listed as October 2024? And where’s the improvement percentage figure gone?
Question: How can this app have a 4.1 star rating with sixty nine 1 star ratings in the comments???

### 1/5 — New app - less information

*2026-02-07, version 3.0.10*

Unlike the previous version; this latest app doesn’t tell me the combined total of my two accounts(ESSS/ESS) - I have to add it up myself

### 1/5 — No better

*2026-02-05, version 3.0.10*

The new apps has less functionality than the old app and was up a couple of days and already stopped working.

### 1/5 — New updated app.

*2026-02-04, version 3.0.10*

The new app is not as good as the old one. We cannot have the app on more than one device , something we could do with the previous one. Told it was for security reasons which is ridiculous as banks, health funds , insurance companies etc in fact all other apps do allow you to have them on more than one device. We also have less information on the new app. Previously we could see the balances over time and the percentage the balance decreased but not now. This update has taken away what was previously available. Do not like it. 
By the way impossible to post as can’t supply a nickname as apparently all have been used before !

### 2/5 — Where’s the annual increase figure?

*2026-01-28, version 3.0.10*

Just downloaded the new app for IOS. Overall, a nice look and feel and good navigation. But where is the figure and graph for how much my super has grown(or decreased)  since 30 June? I loved that graph!! Please find a place to add it.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-01-21, version 2.4.3*

Absolute rubbish app. Took my accumulation account out of Esssuper years ago because of lack of access and now this new updated app is atrocious. Can’t even read my messages through the app, I have to log in via the webpage.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-12-15, version 2.4.3*

Most unusable app on Apple. Never been able to log in. Always crashes on opening.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-27, version 2.4.3*

Can’t even login.  Keeps crashing every time I put my login details.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-07-02, version 2.4.3*

Worst app ever. Shuts down as soon as you try to log in. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled multiple times and the same issue remains.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2025-06-07, version 2.4.3*

This is simply put - the worst app. It has got worse and worse with every upgrade. Now won’t even load 🥲

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-05-27, version 2.4.3*

Crashes every time I try to log in

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2026-06-10, version 3.0.15*

App doesn’t open on home page and when you try to navigate, it crashes

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well on ios

*2026-06-05, version 3.0.15*

Open the app and total amount disappears, select another option and the app closes.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.15*

The app views my face 3 times before letting me in and crashes when I try to use the tabs at the bottom. Reported via email two weeks ago, so far no response.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-06-01, version 3.0.15*

The app has a glitch where the home page appears briefly before the transactions page opens and I am unable to get the home page to reappear.

### 1/5 — What was is no more

*2026-05-25, version 3.0.15*

This new app from the previous one has been developed and whilst I don’t see much improvement I have been using it with no real problem. But the problems did start a short time ago. It now takes three impressions of my fingerprint just to open the app. When in the app when I go to my transactions it just closes. There are other no existent features on other areas which really make it unusable. I have lodged a request and hopefully they are looking into it. I have a 9th gen iPad and don’t have a problem elsewhere.

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.15*

App is useless.

### 1/5 — Keeps glitching

*2026-05-20, version 3.0.15*

Since the recent update this app keeps glitching, keeps closing, won’t load my balance.  I’ve tried deleting then reloading, it still happens.  Useless

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-05-19, version 3.0.15*

Glad I can now log in with Face ID but layout is not functional. Can’t see my balance and if I try to navigate around it automatically closes. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-05-18, version 3.0.15*

It keeps crashing!

### 5/5 — The Best Superannuation Fund

*2026-06-09, version 3.0.15*

My money is very secure with  Esssuper and that’s the most important thing for me at this stage in my life.

### 5/5 — Such a positive improvement!

*2026-02-03, version 3.0.10*

This app is so much better than the old one, it is much easier to navigate and use. A much needed and appreciated improvement!

### 5/5 — Improved App

*2026-02-03, version 3.0.10*

The new app works much better than the older version. Simple but does the main things it needs to.

### 5/5 — New app

*2026-01-28, version 3.0.10*

Love the new app, it’s easy to use and very informative

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2025-05-09, version 2.4.3*

After being unable to log in I had to change my password three times; then had to call ESSS. I explained the problem and was told not to use the App but to use Members Online instead 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

### 5/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2024-05-09, version 2.4.3*

There is not one positive about this app. Can’t log in. Have tried numerous re sets and continuously drops out. I can’t believe that every single review is completely negative and yet nothing has been done to fix it. If the attention to detail regarding this app is the same as the attention given to my money I’m in real trouble come retirement.

### 5/5 — Sasco-Man

*2024-04-09, version 2.4.3*

I’ve been with this super fund for a number of decades now.  At no time since the development of the App has it functioned seamlessly.  It’s plagued with login issues and minimal functionality since it’s inception.  
If ESSSuper prefer’s fund members use this App instead of contacting the service desk, then it would be in their interest to undertake a major upgrade.

### 4/5 — 30 June Balance

*2026-02-18, version 3.0.10*

The previous version of the app should the balance as at the previous 30 June with the current balance and the percentage change, positive or negative which was very helpful.  Please add this feature in new version of the app. 
Also the withdrawal transactions are not shown until a day or more after receiving payment in my bank account and I am not sure when the balance is updated after withdrawals are made.

### 3/5 — Hmmm

*2026-05-08, version 3.0.10*

Don’t like the lack of functionality in the new version

### 3/5 — Set up glitches

*2026-01-30, version 3.0.10*

The current ESS Super iOS app has a UI layout bug on iPhone 17 running iOS 26.2.1.
During onboarding, the Face ID enable button is off-screen and the view does not scroll.
The Settings menu has also been removed, so Face ID cannot be enabled after onboarding.
