### 4/5 — 4ever bank I bankwith TRUIST

*2026-03-16, version 5.8.0*

Banked over 3 decades with 1st South ;$

### 4/5 — Please do!

*2025-02-07, version 5.7.0*

Please include Zelle!!

### 4/5 — Love the Update!

*2025-02-07, version 5.7.0*

Had to come change my review! I only wish they would let you add your card from the alerts tab, so I don’t have to get my laptop and see if it will do it from there. I love it tho. The new look isn’t cluttered. It’s seamless and easy to work around. Great job!

### 4/5 — MEM to MEM don’t work!!!

*2024-12-19, version 5.7.0*

I’m only giving it 4 stars because the MEM to MEM isn’t working. There was a section of the app where members could transfer money between each other electronically. For whatever reason I am unable to set up other members through the app. Once this is fixed I will gladly give it 5 stars

Perfect app for banking.

### 5/5 — Great banking app!

*2023-09-18*

This app is very easy to use. It has multiple features that are helpful for my banking needs. I particularly like that I can transfer money to friends and family when I owe them for lunch and such things. It’s like Venmo, but quicker - it goes directly from my account to theirs.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 star rating and the good review. We appreciate you and your business!

### 1/5 — App crashes at login

*2024-02-15, version 5.6.1*

I haven’t been able to open the app for months. I’ve in/reinstalled several times and tried on different devices.

### 1/5 — Cloudflare security prevents login

*2023-11-09, version 5.6.1*

Suddenly, I am challenged to say I am a human each time I click the app. That was annoying, but acceptable until the verification began looping and did not admit me to the app. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Not happening to any other apps.

### 1/5 — So many issues now

*2023-09-17*

The app often says it’s not a connection to load the app. I’ve checked for updates, I have a newer phone, and I have tried using data and my WiFi to get it to work. The deposit area takes forever to load sometimes; to where you could wait for hours or try another day and it’ll work seamlessly. It makes me feel like my money is not safe when I can’t access my account as needed, and I am thinking about changing banks because of it. Please fix this issue. It’s been going on for maybe a month or two now.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're sorry to hear you're having an issue. There were some mobile deposit issues that have since been resolved. Please contact us at 901.380.7400 or via the message center in the app and we'll do our best to assist you. One thing to possibly check is the iOS version of your device - please make sure the latest version of the iOS is installed.

### 1/5 — What happened to FaceID?

*2022-04-30, version 5.3.0*

This app hasn’t let me sign in with my face for over 2 months now. Kept assuming it would get fixed in a future update, but the problem persists.

### 2/5 — Location services remain on after opening the app

*2026-07-06, version 5.8.0*

I love the app and I am grateful for the services that it provides. BUT, ever since the most recent update, from about 4 months ago, the app will use location services when I open the app and then will continue using location services in the background continuously for hours after I have left the app.

The only way to stop this is to force quit the app from the app manager.

I make use of the app’s widget, as I have done for over a year. And I have allowed location access to the app “while using the app.”

But, this issue with consistent location usage is new and frankly is a severe bug.

I am currently using the Apple iOS mobile app version 5.8.0 on an up-to-date iPhone 17e.

### 2/5 — Login

*2021-02-27, version 5.0.8*

It’s seems like every couple months or so I have to set a new password.

### 2/5 — Functionality

*2020-09-25, version 5.0.5*

Bring back the quick balance function. It’s a hassle logging in just to view a balance.

### 3/5 — Review

*2024-12-23, version 5.7.0*

Some of the office people aren’t friendly.

### 3/5 — it’s basic

*2022-07-10, version 5.3.0*

needs to be updated with more up to date features..it’s 2022 not 2000

### 3/5 — My Account:

*2021-03-05, version 5.0.8*

If by chance I could my PIN for quick access to my account on my phone then your services will be SIX STARS.  Meanwhile you are very good. Working on Excellent.
