Poor administration

It takes a month from when a contribution is made to when it hits the superannuation account. What happens to the interest on your contribution for that month? Very poor service.

Disappointing

How can this app continue to let me down. Every time I try log into my account it says “somethings not right” whether it’s on the app or the website, nothing seems to work.

App not available

Why am I never able to log in to my own account? I’ve tried via the app and from the website and it say online account unavailable. Absolutely disgusting that I can’t access what is mine. 😡

Hesta transactions

In the summary page it would be more useful if the transactions showed the Gross value as that is what an employee checks against their payslip to make sure their employer is doing the right thing.

Response from developer

Hi there Thank you for taking the time to get in touch and share your valued feedback. Please know we have passed this onto the relevant team for future consideration. Kind regards The Team at HESTA

Excellent App

Runs as smoothly as a mellow jazz tune, especially when checking balance. It’s well crafted but could use a few more features to truly stand out. Excited to see what’s next.

Predictable

Have been waiting 7 weeks to check my Super of course there’s an update and of course it won’t load. The website is also crashing.

Disappointed

What quality company goes offline for 6-8 weeks in 2025 citing ‘IT’ issues? Any quality IT company minimises downtime and customer impact. I’m unsure how APRA could approve such an impact. Seriously considering moving my super and I know many others who have!

Response from developer

Hi Mangiwnb79 We understand that changes like these can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience. While many financial institutions manage system upgrades, transitioning an entire superannuation fund is a complex process that takes time. Our top priority is protecting your super and personal information. That means we had to take the necessary time to check every detail and ensure a seamless transition. Services are now available again from today (Monday, 2 June). We confirm that as part of this process we have discussed the duration of the Limited Services Period with the regulators and obtained their consent to delayed timeframes. HESTA, like all super funds, is required to comply with APRA standards and regulations. We have engaged regularly with APRA to ensure that this change, and any other changes we make to our products and services, meets their stringent requirements. We welcome their feedback as an important way to protect the best interests of our members. Please know that we also have a complaint resolution process to address your concerns fairly and efficiently. You can head to http://hesta.co/62503NCuox to find out more.

FINALLY!

Been waiting years to be able to check my balance in the app.
Had even considered changing funds just for this.

First glance of the app looks modern and slick, well done to the team who delivered it.
Fingers crossed there is enough TLC given to the app moving forward to maintain it (speaking from experience, I know Apple likes to throw curveballs at the iOS developers).

Ability to add an account

Fantastic app, so fast and up to date. It would, however, be great to be able to add an account. I have 2 current accounts with Hesta, an income stream and an additional account. If this is possible could someone please advise.

Not an app, this is a website.

Just a quick link to the website, not an actual app

Response from developer

Hi fadilthebosnian The current app design focuses on giving our members the information they need on a day-to-day basis. To complete some actions you will need to log in to the HESTA website. We are continuing to develop the app and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Kind regards The Team at HESTA

Great app

Easy to use app. I’m so glad I don’t have to remember (or dig out) my member number every time I want to check my super.

Super quick

So great to be able to use FaceID to check my balance in seconds and make sure my employer is up to date.

Great app!

Easy way to access and manage my super. Love it!

Happy Member

Clean & nice dashboard with Investments & Transactions link & hey I can update my contact details.

Easy to use!

This is an intuitive app to help manage super! A++
