Good stuff!! ### 3/5 — Just ok *2026-03-30, version 6.0.251100* Don’t care too much for this app. It seems to regularly be dis functioning. The check deposits are hard to use and overall just not a great app. ### 5/5 — 1st Northern Bank *2026-02-26, version 6.0.251100* These days I worry about my money but I have been with 1st Northern for over thirty years and I feel safe!

Never ever a line if you need to do business in person. All employees are professional and kind! Convenient network ATM’s. ### 5/5 — First northern bank *2026-02-11, version 6.0.251100* It’s laggy ### 5/5 — Mobile Deposit *2026-02-09, version 6.0.251100* Very easy to use ### 5/5 — Great financial institution *2026-02-08, version 6.0.251100* Thumbs up to the staff in Auburn ### 4/5 — It works! *2026-02-06, version 6.0.251100* Not a tone of features unlike other banks but everything works well so can’t complain. Would be nice with a few extra features. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-02-06, version 6.0.251100* The First Northern Bank app is very clear and easy to use. It is well laid out and intuitive. ### 2/5 — Slow *2026-02-06, version 6.0.251100* Really slow and never loads ### 5/5 — 1st Northern Bank 😎 *2026-02-05, version 6.0.251100* Easy app to maneuver! ### 5/5 — Great banking app *2026-02-04, version 6.0.251100* Love it it’s super convenient ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-02-04, version 6.0.251100* Nice ### 5/5 — Online Banking *2025-09-24, version 6.0.51002* Great app for an amazing bank that makes banking easy ### 4/5 — Functional *2025-08-29, version 6.0.51002* This app has evolved over the years, sometimes it improves other times it falls short and seems more difficult to navigate. The mobile deposit has seemed to improve its image reading ability lately. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — That’s my bank and it’s awesome! *2025-06-29, version 6.0.51002* The ap is good but it could use some upgrades. I’d love to see an on off switch for debit cards and I do struggle with the check deposit feature often. Otherwise it is nice to have this ap to check your balance pay bills etc. ### 1/5 — Complicated *2025-06-21, version 6.0.51002* App has all the info you need and then some, imo that makes it a little more complicated to navigate and feels somewhat slow (I did try it on the WiFi and off) it almost feels like it’s not meant to be used on iOS I do have 3 other cc apps and they are a lot easier and fast to navigate. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-06-19, version 6.0.51002* Everything about First northern is outdated ### 1/5 — Not friendly. Archaic. *2025-05-28, version 6.0.51002* You need help on your app. ### 1/5 — Balance is never updated!! *2024-12-12, version 6.0.5904* They really need to fix this!! On weekends they don’t update the balance at all! Idk what the issue is but the balance never reflects the correct amount. I have had to start tracking my own expenses what js the point of having an app that never shows how much you actually have? ### 1/5 — Good Bank, Bad App *2024-12-04* In this day and age the fact that this bank decided not to make a bigger effort on their app is personally, sad. But from a business perspective it’s shooting themselves in the leg. What’s the point. If the customer can’t do something as simple as see their bank account balance on their banks app… I understand not being able to easily transfer funds from a personal checking to a personal savings or even having a normal Zelle portal. But let’s at least try for the basics. ### 1/5 — Personal & business accounts *2024-08-10, version 6.0.5904* Very cumbersome site. Would highly recommend a upgrade to a more customer friendly app. Compared to my other banks, this one is very cumbersome & frustrating. There are only 2 employees left at Auburn branch and neither is proficient in the online banking. ### 1/5 — Takes three days to show the correct available balance *2024-04-17, version 6.0.5900* It’s slow, takes like three days to display the correct available amount that’s my biggest complaint ### 1/5 — Personal & business accounts *2022-11-03, version 5.0.5724* Very cumbersome site. We’re highly recommend a upgrade to a more customer friendly app. Compared to my other banks, this one is very cumbersome. ### 2/5 — Sub Standard App *2026-04-02, version 6.0.251100* Several issues… the app does not remember passwords, despite “remember me” being selected. I am also unable to view 2/4 accounts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A well planed and executed app *2026-07-31, version 6.0.251100* This app makes banking sooo easy. Just like everything else First Northern does ### 5/5 — Easy, convenient & reliable! *2026-06-20, version 6.0.251100* This app works very well. Rarely do I encounter any difficulty using it. The only complaint is that the mobile deposit function is really picky. Multiple photos are necessary to successfully make a deposit. ### 5/5 — First Northern Mobile Banking *2026-06-10, version 6.0.251100* Awesome!!!! Easy to use it’s really nice to just be able to do whatever it is you want. ### 5/5 — President *2026-05-03, version 6.0.251100* Excellent ### 5/5 — Straight forward and useful *2026-05-01, version 6.0.251100* An easy app to use, giving more options for managing my accounts. ### 5/5 — Great Mobile App *2026-04-27, version 6.0.251100* Best Bank Ever ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2026-04-24, version 6.0.251100* Easy to use! ### 5/5 — The best bank. *2026-04-01, version 6.0.251100* Plus: it’s local. ### 5/5 — Easy Banking *2026-03-23, version 6.0.251100* Makes it easy for me to check my balance. ### 5/5 — It works! *2026-03-19, version 6.0.251100* I check the app often and I find it saves me mental worry when I can see the correct information, project, and plan. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
