### 1/5 — ...

*2025-03-12, version 5.1.2*

Bir uygulama uğruna ya Râb ne trenler,otobüsler,vapurlar kaçıyor ...

### 1/5 — Masraf karşılığında ücret alınması

*2025-03-11, version 5.1.2*

Bir Bankacı olarak kart dolumda masraf ücreti almanız kabul edilemez.  Bizim bakiyemizi kullanıp döner sermayeden para kazanıyorsunuz ayrıca ek ücrette alıyorsunuz bu hukuksuzdur.  Hak hukuk diyen koskoca İİB bu gibi hukuksuzluk yapması utanç verici

### 1/5 — Uygulama Bug

*2024-08-27, version 5.0.0*

Kartlarım arası transfer yapmak istiyorum. Bunu yapmak için benden sistem doğrulama istiyor. Doğrulama esnasında haddinden fazla veri talep ediyor. Siz bu verileri güvenle saklayabileceğinize inanıyor musunuz? Şahsen ben inanmıyorum, infrastructure tarafında ne kadar kötü işleriniz olduğunu da biliyorum. Hadi bunları geçelim uygulamaya gelelim. Kimlik tarama aşamasına gelindiğinde uygulamadan atıyor. Hep yapıyor bunu. Nasıl ilerleyeceğiz?
Web'te istemediğiniz verileri mobilde neden istiyorsunuz? Demek ki bakiye aktarmak için lazımda değil veriler. Ayrıca bakiye neden dijital karttan diğerlerine aktarılıyor, kartlardan dijital e de aktarılmalı.

### 1/5 — Hesabı onaylayamıyırum

*2024-08-21, version 4.0.4*

Kimliğin arka yüzünü okuyamıyorum, geri de çıkılamıyor.

### 1/5 — Allah belanızı versin

*2024-08-02, version 4.0.4*

2025 arefesinde, dünyanın en büyük belediyesinin beş para etmez uygulaması doğru çalışmıyor. Hesap doğrulaması yaparken hepten sapkın davranışlar yapıyor.

### 1/5 — Kimliğimin arka yüzünü algılamıyor

*2024-07-13, version 4.0.4*

Kesinlikle kimliğimin arka yüzünü algılamıyor, ne yaptıysam algılamıyor. Bu sorunla alakalı birçok kez aradım, destek talebi açtırdım ama asla sorunumu çözmediler. Çözüm olarak uygulamadaki sorunu çözmek yerine dalga geçer gibi Kadıköy, Karaköy kart başvuru merkezlerine yönlendiriyorlar. Hayatımda gördüğüm en kötü uygulamalardan biri.

### 1/5 — Adım adım kötüleşen uygulama

*2024-06-26, version 4.0.4*

Güncelleme aldıkça çalışmayan ve eskisinden daha beter bir aplikasyon oldu. 

Halbuki beklenti basit. Kartlarımı görüntüle ve bakiye yükle. Bitti.

### 1/5 — Vasat uygulama

*2024-06-26, version 4.0.4*

Ödeme talimatı almaz, kimlik ve hesap doğrulama yapmaz. Bu kadar berbat bir uygulamayı yapmak gerçekten tebriği hak ediyor

### 1/5 — Hesap doğrulama kimlik arka yüzeyini okumuyor

*2024-03-28, version 4.0.3*

Hesap doğrulama adımında kimliğin ön yüzeyini okuyor fakat arka yüzeyini hiçbir şekilde okumuyor

### 1/5 — Hesap Onaylama Hata

*2024-03-05, version 4.0.2*

16.02.2024 Tarihinden bu yana Hesap Onaylama adımlarının hepsini geçip, kimlik arka yüzü kısmında takılıp kalıyor.
Talep şikayet bırakmama rağmen IOS uygulamanızı bir türlü bu hatadan kurtaramadınız.
Keşke hayata geçirmeden önce biraz geliştirseydiniz.
