### 1/5 — Suddenly it closes itself

*2024-01-02*

I’m trying to send a text to follow an issue, and the app closes and opens suddenly without warning, really you have to work more in the app…

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-08-01*

First time using the app after five minutes it freezes had to close and restart and then during a chat it goes blank only showing keyboard, lost the chat

### 1/5 — Scheduled payments not working

*2023-02-16*

Unable to schedule a payment. The calendar won’t open and when I try manually to type in a date, it is messed up. This is the worst banking app I have ever used!

### 1/5 — Steaming pile of turd garbage

*2022-12-28, version 1.47.0*

The app crashed 7 times during a chat with support. Each time I had to ask to be transferred back to the original agent. Slow and buggy. If I had a choice, this would not be it.

### 1/5 — Worst banking app I’ve ever used

*2022-12-20*

Basically end up calling support every time because it has the barest minimum features or they are too hard to find. Also regularly boots all your info off so need to enter your customer no for access

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-12-19*

Terrible app, nothing but issues.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-05-06*

Every time you login it says the password is incorrect and failed to login. Only through browser you can check your balances.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-02-27*

It’s forever locking me out. I don’t understand why it’s so hard. You need to have the eye symbol to check if what is entered correctly. And the password reset is so poorly made

### 1/5 — Weak app

*2026-02-05*

Terrible app that doesn’t launch half the time. UI worse than a spreadsheet. Cumbersome design.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-04-27*

Constantly logs you out, doesn’t allow keychain access so you have to bounce between your password app and this app, copying and pasting details.

Neither portal has 2FA which is concerning given FirstMac has been hacked before. 

This is really one of the laziest examples of a banking application I’ve ever seen. 

Just don’t bother. Logon to their internet banking via browser, at least the browser will allow you to autofill your login details.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-03-21*

No real thought has gone into this app, not enough features.

### 1/5 — Can’t wait to move from this bank

*2025-02-26*

Worst tech, reviewing interest rates are challenging, and they got hacked recently. Great job

### 1/5 — Techs need to look at the live chat ASAP!

*2024-12-02*

I don’t always have time to ring up and have my questions answered so that live chat is a good tool to access….but there it ends! Tech support really needs to get on to fixing the issues, that makes the chat freeze, then you have to shut down the app, go back in, start chat again only to loose what you were enquiring about but also be paired with another assistant, to have to explain your WHOLE story all over again! Absolutely exhausting in the end! As a customer a quick text to say an interest charge has changed would also be lovely!! It should be an automated system

### 1/5 — Very poor UI/UX

*2024-09-08, version 1.67.0*

This app is the worst banking/ home loan app I have ever used. Very poor UI/UX design.

### 1/5 — Access denied after upgrading the app

*2024-04-02*

A day ago I accessed my account through the old App. There was notification to make sure to use the latest app. I updated my app today but then it asked me for credentials again. I entered my credentials and it says Error. I have no issue accessing my account through Livez Money Web with my credentials.

### 1/5 — Err

*2024-01-22*

Why do I have to log in every time.

Asks to setup Face ID but doesn’t actually do anything stay logged in.

System does get in and super basic but horrible.

### 5/5 — Useful App - no issues

*2025-02-16*

I’ve been with Firstmac since the end of 2023 and have never had any issues with the app. Obviously they’ve fixed their historical issues. Chat works, app is reliable and has the required functionality.

### 4/5 — Great iPhone App ... but

*2018-07-18*

Very good banking app for your iPhone, but where’s the iPad version ?

### 4/5 — Great App But Drains the Battery

*2018-06-03*

I love the convenience of this app. It’s been worth the long wait to have an app with all of the features plus the touch ID. Despite all of this, I have had to uninstall it from both my iPhone and iPad for now. I found it was draining 30-50% of my battery tracking my location while I wasn’t even using it. I trust this might be something the developers can fix so I can get on with using one of the best banking apps.

**Developer response:** Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback and we apologise for the inconvenience of the battery drainage issue. This issue was fixed in most cases in the most recent 1.4 version release. Could I ask you to try to reinstall the app please and give it another try? If you have any troubles please contact us and our team will walk you through any issues.

Regards, 

Firstmac Team

### 3/5 — Better than the bank, but that’s not saying much.

*2022-08-05*

App is ok but very basic. If only the bank were anywhere hear half as good, which would still mean that they are woeful….

### 3/5 — Withdrawal Notification

*2021-03-08*

Please add app push notification for any withdrawal and deposit transactions so people will be aware of any  unsolicited activity also good security feature. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Need to be able to save customer number

*2018-03-28, version 1.1.1*

Please update to be able to save the customer number in the ap

### 2/5 — App and Features Need Overhaul

*2026-04-08*

The user interface is outdated and not intuitive at all. 
It still kinda does everything but just worse. 
No Osko payments sent or received in April 2026 is like being sent back to the Stone Age. Coming from the UP Money app to this is a downgrade I wasn’t ready for.
