### 1/5 — Never able to log in despite changing password constantly

*2026-08-04, version 1.45.0*

Just a really poor app.  Been with NW for like 30 years time for a swap to Starling or Monzo

### 5/5 — An amazing app

*2026-06-29*

This app used to be really poorly designed and clunky. Probably just a sign of an older app. I provided suggestions and feedback (as I’m sure others did!) which it looked like they used to their advantage. Absolutely amazing app now. Sleek, fast, pretty. Remembers card and address details when buying perks. They have outdone themselves!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear you've noticed the improvements and that you're enjoying the app's new look and performance. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions and your kind words they help us continue to improve.

### 1/5 — Absolutely awful app

*2026-06-27, version 1.44.0*

Been round in circles for 40 minutes trying to get in to it. Now I’m stuck in a loop that I think I’ll be in for about 10,000 years.

### 5/5 — Ticket Service

*2026-04-21, version 1.43.0*

Excellent service.

### 1/5 — Don’t get premier black

*2026-04-19*

It’s unbelievably rubbish. Had it 6 months, checked it regularly and not once did I get anything remotely interesting in terms of offers. The only thing I really used were the airport lounges, but be warned they are the basic lounges and every one I went to was rammed more so than the airport. There’s nothing exclusive about Rewards Black at all. Absolute rubbish

**Developer response:** Hi Aran121, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience that’s understandably frustrating.
Your feedback is really important, and I’ll make sure it’s shared with the relevant team so they can review both the quality of offers and the lounge experience. Thanks for taking the time to share this it helps us improve

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2026-03-30, version 1.42.0*

Totally unreliable. When you need it , log in and find options freeze when tapped. Have to ring anyway. How can this be allowed to happen.

### 5/5 — Great account

*2026-03-07, version 1.42.0*

Lots of worthwhile benefits

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-02-23, version 1.42.0*

It literally does not register any taps on the screen anywhere other than the bottom icons. Possibly the worst app I’ve ever used as a result. Where is the quality control?

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-02-18, version 1.42.0*

Every time I want to pay for something discounted I have to put all my details in the app it should either save my details or have apple pay

### 1/5 — Unsuable

*2026-01-23, version 1.42.0*

Cant use the app.
Terrible… no response on any
