### 1/5 — App crashed 3 x trying to lodge claim

*2024-06-05, version 13.12*

The business needs to focus more on customer experience and get a decent IT supplier. Super frustrated putting all info in three times. Also the app doesn’t retain simple information when you use the same suppliers. Could be much easier.

### 1/5 — Made everything harder

*2024-05-09, version 13.10*

They just updated it to make it harder to make claims, that’s it. I’d not be surprised if people just gives up and don’t claim at all as the app is more glitchy and you have to load all your details every single time. Someone more cynical might think they did it on purpose to discourage people claims.

### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out

*2024-04-14, version 13.8*

So much harder to submit a claim now and every time I reopen the app I have to log in again. Used to be able to save bank account details for claims, but that’s now gone away. The app was so much easier to use before the redesign!

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2024-03-05, version 13.5.1*

The app used to be passable and worked, but now it’s been updated and it’s so much harder to use, it doesn’t save your bank details anymore so you have to MANUALLY input them EVERY time which leaves room for user/input error, and is so inefficient. It takes you to a different browser out of the app. 
It’s so frustrating and not user friendly at all. The app now has so many more steps than it used to. Why change it to make it worse??

### 1/5 — Do not use this app

*2024-02-07, version 13.3*

This app makes me want to change providers. Why was it ever changed in the first place. I agree with all the other negative reviews and am also very frustrated. 
When submitting a claim (which is through a web link) and you need to go into your photos to find out details from your receipt, the claim you have started disappears and you have to start over again. 
So over it. Used to be so easy

### 1/5 — Garbage. Sort the app out or I will move

*2024-01-07, version 13.1*

This app hasn’t worked for years. I’m getting fed up with it. 
Sort the app out or I will arrange cover for myself and the family through another provider.

### 1/5 — New app not good

*2023-12-18, version 13.1*

The redesigned app doesn’t remember bank details and have to add them in every claim! So asks a lot more questions than previously, makes claiming a lot longer and annoying

### 1/5 — Never works

*2023-09-15, version 1.1.6*

This app is the worst. It never logs in.

### 1/5 — Dreadful app

*2023-07-26, version 1.1.6*

So many glitches on the app and via the online login via the internet. NIB used to be so easy to submit claims and receipts to. I downloaded the app after failing multiple times via the website login. 
There should be an easy way of loading lots of receipts at once without adding the bank account for each receipt. 
The app keeps asking for a bank account number which I have already inserted. It just goes round and round in circles.
There is no way of saying who this claim is for.

### 1/5 — absolutely unusable

*2023-05-30, version 1.1.6*

No any update for more than 6 months. Cannot login for many months.

### 1/5 — Oh dear me

*2023-01-31, version 1.1.6*

App was good and now won’t open, very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-07, version 1.1.6*

App won’t load

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-12-18, version 1.1.6*

The app hasn’t worked for months making claiming a hassle and tougher. I went to the NIB website to submit a query and the website wouldn’t accept my birthdate so can’t submit my query. However they’re very happy to take my money and increase my premiums. 
Go with Southern Cross or anyone else (except Cigna), these guys are muppets.

### 1/5 — User

*2022-10-28, version 1.1.5*

The company services has been going down hill so can’t expect much more from the app then!

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2022-09-01, version 1.1.5*

I think this app needs to go and see the Dr. It was a great app that I have used several times in the past but can’t even log on now. Hopeless.

### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2022-08-23, version 1.1.5*

Used to love this app as it made it so easy to claim on my health insurance - but it hasn’t been working for months. I get stuck at the login screen with a spinning wheel of death. This has been way too long without a bug fix.

### 1/5 — DOB not working?

*2022-07-19, version 1.1.5*

Tried to register, but unable to enter DOB??
So unable to use this app… disappointing

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never got a chance to log in

*2026-05-21, version 16.24.0*

Really bad!more than 2years, tried several times, never got any chance to log in

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2025-10-13, version 16.9.2*

This is a really poorly designed app team. Information is hard to find, it’s plastered with unhelpful advertisements where key details of your policy should be, the “I’d like to..” menu is designed like a search but is actually a menu and doesn’t have an intuitive design. The website is just easier.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t submit my claim

*2025-08-08, version 16.4.0*

I feel everything out and then click submit and nothing happens. It doesn’t progress even after refreshing. I end up just doing it through the website.

### 1/5 — A Complete Catastrophe

*2025-03-31, version 15.2.0*

Wow, this app is a complete train wreck. You can’t do anything without being forced to log in again, why even log into the app in the first place if every single thing the app is supposed to do just opens a web page that then asks you to log in again? This wouldn’t be the worst thing if I could autofill my details and log straight in, but no, you INSIST on passwordless email verification instead so I have to sit around for 5 minutes waiting for a stupid email to arrive so I can do something as basic as check the status of a damn claim. 

This app is a complete catastrophe and you should be completely mortified that it has even seen the light of day. What a complete and total disgrace on every possible level. I’d rather just cancel my insurance than have to continue using this complete disaster. In fact, yeah, I think that’s what I’m going to do.

### 1/5 — Has no point

*2025-03-04, version 15.0.0*

It doesn’t matter if you have the latest version updated or not, it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2024-12-11, version 14.10.0*

The app is pointless as it just brings up the portal on the website for anything. The requests don’t work - I’ve submitted 6 times to change to credit card and it just says they’ll call me. I’ve also requested to remove a member off my policy and nothings showing under requests. There’s no email function. Shambles.

### 1/5 — This App is a terrible

*2024-09-11, version 14.3.0*

The previous one worked reasonably well and at least retained basic information.  Unfortunately it leaves the impression it’s designed to discourage claims.  You need to fix this app it’s a bad look.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2024-08-25, version 14.1.0*

Everything opens a browser and you have to log in. Can’t use a password so you have to check email every time. Suits NIB I guess, they’ve become slow at everything

### 1/5 — Critical function missing

*2024-08-12, version 13.13*

Not sure what is going on but this low budget web app seems to fail when it comes to making a claim online. Where was the UC team and testing on this?

### 1/5 — Trash App!

*2024-06-14, version 13.12*

Constantly kicks me out, tells me the email I have registered to my account is not recognised, and is practically a skin for a web portal. I should've read the reviews here first, ffs

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fantastic. Simple to set up.

*2015-12-04, version 1.0*

Great app. Fantastic having policy information and contact/claim details readily available.

### 5/5 — Just what the Doctor ordered!

*2015-07-30, version 1.0*

Fantastic app - so easy to use !

### 5/5 — Excellent app!!

*2015-06-22, version 1.0*

It is so easy and handy just amazing!!

### 5/5 — Easy claim!

*2015-06-19, version 1.0*

This app makes claiming so easy. Love that all I need to do is take a photo of my receipt and the money then just shows up in my account in no time.

### 4/5 — Can not login

*2022-11-30, version 1.1.6*

I have the same issue with iPhone .

### 4/5 — Don’t want a pin

*2018-07-08, version 1.0*

Good that I can add receipts from my phone, but I wish there wasn’t a need for a pin every single time I enter the app. Please add the option to remove the pin.

### 2/5 — Mid when it works

*2024-06-18, version 13.13*

Not sure if the designer took UX into account when making it. Its giving low budget reskinned web app. Also it doesn’t work and doesn’t tell you it needs an update

### 2/5 — WAS great

*2023-12-12, version 13.1*

Used to be such a simple and easy process where I could quickly file a claim using the app in like 60 seconds but now it's continuously logging me out and the only way to log back is with a code sent to my email, then I have to provide every single detail of mine every time - used to just be on my profile (doctors and bank accounts etc) so has definitely made it far more time consuming and honestly annoying

### 2/5 — Can’t Register

*2022-07-10, version 1.1.5*

I have tried to Register to see my coverage but I can’t even create an account because the app won’t let me enter my birth date

### 2/5 — New to app

*2022-05-30, version 1.1.5*

Downloaded app but cannot register it as it won’t allow me to load a birthdate. What a waste of time! 
I can see quite a number of people have also had similar issues but there doesn’t appear to be anything going on to remedy the situation. Doesn’t bode well for the insurance provider if they aren’t taking their client feedback on board
