Annoying. ### 2/5 — Speed *2022-11-19, version 6.4* The overall functionality is okay, but it is the slowest banking app I experienced. Often I just give up and log in via the web. The payment function in particular works sometimes and sometimes not. This is frustrating knowing that the basic checking app works great. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback & we apologize for the inconvenience.

However, it is extremely slow when it comes to bill payment and transfers. Don’t plan on using the app to approve more than a few bill payments. Bill payment approval that could take you 20 seconds from a computer will take you 20 minutes on this app **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback & we apologize for the inconvenience.

I have found the first republic website to be good overall, but it is down more than I would like and viewing checks and deposits online is quite difficult and cumbersome compared to other banks. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Every time I require my balances it takes forever to load. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback. We would like to learn more about your experience.

But the App is a big disappointment, and continues to do so. It fails frequently making deposits,It’s very slow, and overall provides a disappointing experience. It is the weakest link in the FRB stricture. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback. We would like to learn more about your experience.

Hands down the best bank in all ways. The app is super helpful and efficient. Thank you FRB! ### 5/5 — Finally, a well designed banking App *2021-02-12, version 5.0* It’s simple. It’s powerful. It’s that powerfully simple and I love it. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2021-02-04, version 5.0* I have to say, this is one of the most intuitive banking apps out there! ### 5/5 — Mobile App is great *2021-01-11, version 4.6* The app has been improved greatly since I first started using it. It is fast and easy and taking pictures of checks is very smooth. Nice work to all who made this an easy and intuitive app to use. ### 5/5 — So handy!! *2021-01-08, version 4.6* Love that I don’t have to run down to the bank to make a deposit! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible UX/UI *2022-11-01, version 6.4* Their application AND their online banking portal are both super glitchy, and no matter how many times I’ve talked to them about their issues, nothing has changed. Every week, I have to hit “approve” in Bill Pay numerous times until it actually goes through. I also haven’t been able to see our company’s banking history, because of course, that part of their portal and app stopped working. Terrible user experience/interface. It’s a good enough reason to use bigger banks that have better resources clearly. **Developer response:** Hi Anaid, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback & we apologize for the inconvenience.

Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2022-05-11, version 6.1.2* Once a month we use the app and once a month we have to download a new version of the app because it won’t even open. Not someone who takes joy in writing bad reviews of things but this is truly awful. ### 1/5 — Loads incredibly slow *2022-02-09, version 5.3.1* It’s so frustrating ### 1/5 — Menu links do not work on latest update *2021-05-12, version 5.0.3* When pressing on a menu link, nothing happen and copy/paste apple function is activated instead of forwarding. Very frustrating for user. Do a better QA. This is app development 101. ### 1/5 — Bad app update *2020-09-13, version 4.5.3* After the recent update, I’m not able to transfer funds or bill pay via the app. Under the “to-do” section, it always says “updating” and does not give me other functions. How do I fix this?!? It’s been over 2 weeks that it still is “updating”. I’ve never had this issue with other bank apps. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Having the whole phone vibrate while taking a photo of the check causes the check image to be blurry which then causes the app to provide an error message which then blocks the actual function of depositing a check. This is highly inconvenient and I have spent about 20 minutes trying to deposit one check without any luck. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us to provide your feedback. We appreciate your comments as they help us to improve our app over time. Unfortunately, the vibrate function is related to the Haptic Feedback on iPhone and is something we are unable to modify as it is related to the operating system of the mobile device. If you want to turn off the Haptic Feedback on your device, you can do so within the System Settings on your device. Still, I will pass along your comments to our development team so that we can look for ways to enhance this feature with a future update. ### 1/5 — App always lags. *2020-09-04, version 4.5.3* App constantly lags. Slowest app i use by far. ### 1/5 — Good *2020-05-13, version 4.2.2* Still some room for improvement. ### 1/5 — Terribly unstable and unreliable *2020-05-12, version 4.2.2* A constant frustration. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mobile App is great *2023-10-05* The app has been improved greatly since I first started using it. It is fast and easy and taking pictures of checks is very smooth. Nice work to all who made this an easy and intuitive app to use. ### 5/5 — Best Bank Ever!! *2023-03-28* After having thousands of dollars stolen out of my Bank of America account, and receiving no help from them, I searched for a bank with great reviews, and First Republic was at the top. Our personal account rep is unbelievably good. I thought only billionaires had this kind of service. My wife and I could not be happier at how simple and fast First Republic makes everything, everything. I am a huge fan. A few months later, I switched our nonprofit accounts to First Republic, and again, we are thrilled. First Republic is so generous with nonprofits, they make you feel like they are a true partner. I could not be more grateful for this bank. ### 5/5 — This app is the bomb! Nobody does it better than FRB. *2022-12-08, version 6.4* The app for First Republic is just as good as the bank and the services offered. The app is clearly a must have for anyone banking with this trusted, iconic bank. The product managers connected to this app and everything else in the backend deserve a lot of credit! :) **Developer response:** Thank You for taking the time to share your feedback! We are very grateful. If there is anything that we can do to further improve your Digital Experience, please don't hesitate to email us at digitalfeedback@firstrepublic.com. ### 5/5 — Great Bank. Decent App. *2022-11-10, version 6.4* I agree with some of the comments as far as improvements to be made to the app, and I hope they do get made ASAP, but the app is not THAT bad as-is. It’s a 4-star app. I’ve suffered through much worse bank apps. So developers - please implement the input from the others here and earn a 5-star review from me. ### 5/5 — Owner *2022-06-30, version 6.2.1* Frank Russo is great the best. The only reason why I have millions in my acct. ### 5/5 — Trips4Kids *2022-05-24, version 6.2* Fabulous ### 5/5 — First Republic Rocks *2022-05-10, version 6.1.2* This is the best business bank I’ve ever worked with in my 27 years of business. This app works smoothly and reliably and saves me having to go into the branch to deposit checks and what not. First Republic is my bank for life. **Developer response:** A sincere Thank You for taking the time to share your feedback! We are very grateful.
