### 3/5 — Difficulty with app navigation

*2025-07-12, version 9.15.3*

Hello, 

  Thanks for the opportunity to hear my thoughts.  I love FNCU, but hate the way that the app and its functionality is so limited and generic.  When I go to look at documents/statements using the hamburger menu and open monthly notices, I can’t get back to my accounts page. 
My current work around to accomplish this is to log out of the app, then log back in.  Please look through the app as a user and you too will discover many other tasks equally frustrating.
The app has improved very little over time, and a huge improvement was labeling the numerical accounts with the actual account name…ie (savings, checking, visa credit card, equity loan, etc.).  There is much more that can be improved to make it more user friendly and easier to navigate.  Thank You!

Best regards,
Kris Youngberg

### 1/5 — Not worth the trouble!

*2024-11-18, version 9.15.2*

Mobile deposits are way too hard on this app!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-09-06, version 9.12.4*

App has been user friendly for the most part so   If I can use it, then most people can

### 5/5 — Thank y’all for your help

*2024-06-07, version 9.12.4*

Your Rockford office has been very helpful

### 1/5 — Functionality not up to par as other bank apps

*2024-05-29, version 9.12.4*

There’s very limited things to do with this app. It doesn’t even have a Venmo/Zelle option. Their cards don’t support the tap and go function.  It’s too basic for this day in age.  Get with the 21st century.

### 5/5 — Best banking Services

*2024-05-07, version 9.12.4*

Love the ease of working between my accounts

### 1/5 — Functionality not up to par as other bank apps

*2023-12-10*

There’s very limited things to do with this app.  It doesn’t even have a Venmo/Zelle option.  It’s too basic for this day in age.

### 2/5 — Archaic and rarely updated

*2023-09-17, version 9.7.4*

This app is straight out of 2007, and FNCU seems to have zero interest in updating it (as I write this review, the last time the app was updated was 9 months ago). Credit card access is poorly integrated - if I click my balance, I get no information unless I find a side menu then find my card. The app also gives incredibly generic feedback when there are errors. For example, mobile deposit says "an error occurred, contact your institution." It's almost like FNCU would prefer you to stop using its mobile app and go right back to 2007 and do all of your banking in person.

### 2/5 — Face ID breaks constantly, rough functionality

*2022-10-29, version 8.0.2*

Every single time I open this app, I'm required to re-enable Face ID. What's the point of even having Face ID functionality if I have to enter my password every time I use the app to re-enable Face ID? This has been an issue with the app for months and FNCU does nothing to address it. The app itself is also very rough. Want to view your credit card detail? Clicking on credit card in the main menu doesn't work. You instead need to use the side menu. This app feels like a bad banking app from about ten years ago, and it really needs work.

### 5/5 — Unreliable

*2022-01-03, version 8.0.2*

Sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s frustrating especially when I’m traveling out of State.
