My boyfriend and I came to the conclusion that the app only works on phones with larger screens, as I was able to set up my account on his phone (iPhone 7 plus). Mind you, I have an iPhone 6s, so it’s not near old enough for newer apps to not be working on it. I can’t believe this hasn’t been fixed yet or is even a problem in the first place. Very poor app testing. ### 1/5 — Poor design *2018-08-22, version 1.1* Just downloaded the app to manage my Grow cards and it has an “awesome” feature that hides the add card button when entering adding a card. This is poor design as I cannot add any cards so the app is useless. How did this get through and testing. ### 2/5 — Not able to set alerts *2018-08-10, version 1.1* The app will not allow me to set alerts for low balances, transactions, etc. Keeps giving me an error saying it can’t do that at this time. Additionally, upon entering cards, the “Save card” button disappears below the open keyboard and is sometimes impossible to reach. You need a way to dismiss the keyboard so I can reach the button. ### 2/5 — Good app. But why two apps? *2018-06-09, version 1.0_5.6.5* The app works great. But why do I have to use this app and the other Grow app to manage my finances? This just seems like more chances to get hacked. Why not just put these features and the banking features into one app like other institutions? Combine the apps. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Card *2023-10-16* After updating to new card App will verify card . Error: Sorry unable to process request at this time. Try again later. Also, have to keep changing as saved password not accepted. ### 1/5 — NIGHTMARE TO SET UP *2022-12-31, version 1.0.14* Can not get my card stored in the app without having to call customer service. Customer service has been overwhelmed with calls for months so it takes half and hour just to get to speak with someone. If I’m able to link my entire checking account to the app, why can I not link the card associated with it? Extremely inconvenient, Grow needs to look into this flaw on this app because I shouldn’t have to spend so much of my time having to call to link the debit card associated with my checking account. What’s the point of a convenient app in that case? ### 1/5 — App does no work *2020-12-04, version 1.0.5* This app does not work does not give me any options how I want to receive my alerts and will not allow me to enter mobile number ### 1/5 — App *2020-05-04, version 1.0.5* This app does not allow you to pay your balance. It does not tell you that your payment is due. It only shows transactions. Very limited. I feel like we are stuck in the 90s you guys can do better than this. You are a great bank. I have thoroughly enjoyed your services. You can compete with the best of them. Your branches and customer care services are spot on. I have never had a bad dealing with anyone. Everyone is courteous. Your app lacks a lot. I have to log in on my computer to pay my bill. Every other bank has it all on the app. I can even talk to Erica ( Bank of America) to get simple items. Capital One has a great one as well. Just make it easier for the client. These are tough times and making it easier and less frustrating for the client would be great.

Online support keeps telling me there’s not an issue, but clearly there still is. ### 1/5 — J *2018-11-29, version 1.1* I can’t add my card. The keyboard covers up the “Add Card” button. This is terrible! ### 1/5 — Adding A Card *2018-10-13, version 1.1* The app would not let me add my card it’s pointless ### 1/5 — Never will use again *2018-09-29, version 1.1* I used the “lock” feature on this app to temporarily block my card usage and was unable to unlock it! I uninstalled the app, called corporate and tech support but no one knew what happened. Had to drive 45 minutes to a branch that printed cards to get a new one. Doesn’t matter how advanced this app gets, I refuse to use it again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Be in the no *2024-01-27* I would advise anyone to use this method of notification ### 5/5 — App is great and I love the new travel notifications *2023-04-28* App is great and I love the new travel notification option. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Card manager *2022-02-17, version 1.0.14* Awesome app! Knowing my account is protected gives me peace of mind from online hackers! Quick and easy…kudos! ### 4/5 — About time *2018-05-05, version 1.0_5.6.5* I have been waiting for years for Grow to come out with this. This is a great tool!! To receive text messages to your phone anytime you spend over a certain amount is awesome!!! Now I don’t have to check my emails for fraud alerts. Thanks again. ### 4/5 — A must have app! *2018-05-03, version 1.0_5.6.5* Although the app is somewhat duplicative of info available by simply logging into a Grow Financial account, the ability to set activity notifications, limits, and instantly freeze the card are great features available with this app. For the 5th rating star, please, please add the ability to enter calendar dates for out-of-state travel! ### 3/5 — Transactions *2019-05-15, version 1.2* I find it useful to see how much I have but it doesn’t show my transactions. I got the alert but when I went to the app to see how much money I have, it doesn’t show that none was taken away. I’m confused as if this is a glitch but it’s really bothering me for some reason lol. It still shows that I have the same amount as I had before spending, which is really bugging me. ### 3/5 — Good and bad *2018-12-01, version 1.1* I like the transaction alerts, the immediate control of my card and the clean interface but adding a card was extremely annoying (iPhone 6s). The only way I was able to see the “add card” button: 1. Do not touch any fields 2. Click the add card button 3. All of the fields will of course fail validation and you will see the red required messages 4. Fill out the required fields now 5. The add card button is still available I do not know why it worked for me but I thought I’d share for others to attempt and actually be able to use the app. Hope this gets resolved. Even better would be if the grow app had these feature rather than separate apps. ### 3/5 — Add Account Button Hidden *2018-10-30, version 1.1* When I add my card information the “Add Account” button is covered up by keyboard. Other reviews show this is happening to others. Please fix. I would love to use this app. Turned phone off and on. This helped with the problem long enough for me to add a card. ### 2/5 — Does not update max limit *2022-03-24, version 1.0.14* Does not update card max limit. Got to call it in. ### 2/5 — I like to be alerted when card is used. *2020-08-20, version 1.0.5* I have it three stars because sometimes the app doesn’t work. If it worked all the time I would give it five stars. I am editing this now as the app has been working fine. Being alerted when the card was used has helped catching someone using my card a couple of times. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you've had this experience with the Grow Card Manager app. We'd be happy to help you troubleshoot so you can take full advantage of the features.
