### 4/5 — FACE ID DOESNT WORK

*2024-03-05, version 7.48.1.12485*

I love this app but the Face ID hasn’t worked for over a week now which means you have to put everything in to log in, it’s very frustrating. Please fix this bug! My entire family is facing this problem as well.

### 1/5 — “Too Many Failed Login Attempts” on first try logging in

*2025-05-11, version 7.80.0.14719*

Message saying “Too many failed login attempts. For security purposes, your account has been disabled. Can we help you reset your passcode?” on FIRST try logging in. (And yes, it was the correct passcode and access ID.)

There is no number to call or notification to my email/phone number from the app either. 

The only solution was to reset my password only to have it do the same exact thing the next day. 

No way to get back into my account and no solution is given. 

On the chance someone has been attempting to get into my account, there needs to be notification sent to the account holder.

### 1/5 — Disappointed…

*2023-07-17, version 7.35.1.10893*

With no call bank begins charging me for leaving money on deposit? I thought I had transferred some earlier this year but assume I didn’t complete another second screen that came later? Sorta scared to leave money in this bank? I’ll need to find some ways to protect against that or move it to one of my other banks? I assumed using my money was a good thing and not a burden that needs to be charged for?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-06-28, version 7.4.1*

The look and navigation of the app before this one was much better!

### 1/5 — Wow-what a disaster

*2021-05-24, version 4.6.5.2981*

FaceId never works. Have to sign in every other time. Such a huge inconvenience.

### 2/5 — Bruh

*2021-07-12, version 7.4.1*

Face ID doesn’t work whatsoever even when saving it, so I have to religion everytime :,) waste of my time

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2021-06-28, version 7.4.1*

Every time I try to look at my list of transactions my screen turns white and I have to close it and re-sign in. So as long as I don’t need to see my recent transactions then it’s ok. However, that’s why I use the freaking app! Needs an update ASAP.

### 2/5 — Description

*2021-03-21, version 4.6.5.2981*

App does not allow you to see images or write descriptions in transfers or print statements. Dale Porter

### 3/5 — Needs to be reviewed!

*2021-03-11, version 4.6.5.2847*

I have had more troubles with this app working than the last. It has a sleeker look but it doesn’t want to act right. I check my account a few times out of the day and it’s forgotten my password says it has trouble connecting or takes forever to connect. Really frustrates me because I try to keep up with my account and the app is 100% the tool I use to do so.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2024-03-28, version 7.48.1.12485*

I love the app but the Face ID feature quit working awhile back. That made it perfect. ❤️

### 4/5 — Facial ID Authentication

*2024-03-13, version 7.48.1.12485*

Great app, but since the latest iteration the facial recognition opens the app, but I still have to type in my password. The previous iteration fully opened the app with simple face recognition. Hopefully this escalates to a workable solution

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2024-08-13, version 7.48.1.12485*

First Reliance app has worked great for me. Mobile deposits by photo; inter-account immediate transfers; easy to navigate other needed options; and when you go to your branch in person they greet you by name and treat you like their best customer. Cancelled my Citibank accounts and haven’t regretted for a second. Thanks First Reliance Bank!!

### 5/5 — There for you.

*2024-02-20, version 7.38.1.11087*

We have banked  with First Reliance since it came to Mount Pleasant. During this time, our lives have changed, our business has changed, and they have always been there for us. You can’t ask for a better bank.

### 5/5 — Everyone

### 5/5 — Moble App

*2022-05-26, version 7.11.1*

All is great but———-
When signing into the mobile app it only allows you to stay on for a very short time. Then I have to sign in again.
PLEASE Fix This Problem
Thank you, Robert Wheeler
