### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-08-03, version 25.2.100*

This app randomly logs you out then tells you that you’re accurate correct password and usernames are not correct. It’s very frustrating trying to check the balance of my account. It’s a constant Aunt. It would be very much appreciated if it wasn’t to hear so I can just check my balance instead of having to go through making a new password and then being told that it’s not the correct password that I just made.

### 2/5 — app never works

*2026-06-29, version 25.2.100*

cant even log into my account, what a joke

### 3/5 — Configuración al idioma español

*2025-07-31, version 25.1.20*

Esta muy bien la aplicación pero no le doy las 5 estrellas porque no se puede configurar al idioma español

### 2/5 — Fed-up & Lame - Just Use Their Website

*2025-04-11, version 24.2.50*

For what actually works in this app, you can save space on your phone and just use their equally lame website. Their answer is to call instead of actually making the links in the app perform the functions they describe. 

Transferring to an external account or paying bills repeatedly doesn’t work. “Try again later.”, is the response. Contacting them through email kicks you out of the app and to their website, where supposedly you’re linked in to a secure method of contact. I got a response in my email box telling me to go back to the site, log in and use the secure contact link to send them a message. No response to my question! Pure runaround!

### 2/5 — So BAD! Face ID is a joke!

*2024-12-17, version 24.2.50*

I would love this app if it was’t for the fact that ever other day it errors out and says I have to reset everything. So then I’ll try to log in with just my password and then that doesn’t work either. I usually have to wait like 4 hours before I can finally log in again at which point I have to remember to turn back on the Face ID option again. It’s so frustrating. Obviously it does this so much I’ve decided I needed to leave a review. PLEASE FIX THUS ISSUE!!!!

### 1/5 — Business banking

*2024-10-03, version 24.1.102*

Always changing no place to log in I should switch banks to one more friendly

### 1/5 — Newest update rendered the app useless

*2024-08-22, version 24.1.102*

Opens, says an old report has occurred and to call for assistance, won’t even open to login. Just the logo.

### 1/5 — please fix app

*2024-07-19, version 24.1.71*

super buggy have had to change my password 7 times because it doesn’t let me log in and when i do log in it kicks me out forcing me to constantly change my password to sign back in

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2024-06-19, version 23.2.40*

App isn’t available when I use it. During evening/midnight hours and early on weekends the app won’t let me sign in. It’s been like this for years. Constantly kicks me out. Seriously thinking of switching banks even though we’ve customers for over 20 years.

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2024-05-17, version 23.2.40*

Crashed the moment I downloaded it and attempted to open the app. The “enroll now” feature is broken, repeatedly attempted to “enroll” and have been unsuccessful.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2024-04-25, version 23.2.40*

Close the account and go to a different bank. App is useless and 95% of the time you can’t use it for no reason.  All “credentials” are correct yet there IT support is so low it’d be quicker to call and sit on hold to check a balance.

### 1/5 — Please read recent reviews. From a 5+ year user.

*2024-02-16, version 23.2.20*

This comment will probably not be seen by many because the “most helpful” review is from 4 years ago. Hence my title.

- The app has you check back later quite often, as many have claimed after 9-5, but that’s crazy if it’s accurate. So your app won’t let you log in, check balances, make transfers, or receive text updates for balance/transactions/alerts. Having banked with North Shore through years and years of this, it’s just kinda tiring to see nothing has been done about it.

- Zelle has been a transfer option in the app for about a year now (if not longer), and STILL does not function. This makes bank to bank transfers tedious and frustrating. All to end up making an in-person visit unavoidable.

I just hope this makes it to the app developers, and you can receive this just as constructive criticism. It’s two fixes. And I’m trying to hang on, but to be be brutally honest, I’m throwing my hands up looking at other banks thinking what am I still doing here. :/

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Robo

*2026-08-05, version 26.1.30*

Demasiado cobran por un dia de overdraft en otros bancos dan 24 horas de gracia y aquí todo lo contrario.

### 1/5 — Pesimo servicio en la app

*2026-07-25, version 25.2.100*

Las contraseñas dejan de funcionar y de repente cada uso toca cambiar la contraseña para poder entrar, y es muy inestable

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time

*2026-05-01, version 25.2.100*

The application or device has violated security protocol. App works about half the time. Do not recommend using this, because it’s almost impossible

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-03-12, version 25.2.100*

Constant frustrating issues with this app. Just want to be able to check my balance whenever I want. This app is consistently not available when I try to login at night, weekends, etc. & constantly forgets my Face ID. After 30 years with them it’s time to find a new bank. I see reviews on here from 7 years ago with the same issues. Fix your app! Other banks are able to support their apps just fine, figure it out….

### 1/5 — Great for everything except mobile banking

*2026-01-27, version 25.1.70*

worst mobile banking app

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-08-28, version 25.1.20*

This is the most annoying app on the planet, constantly making me delete the app and redownload to log in and it’s been years of it doing this

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE DO NOT BANK

*2025-05-02, version 24.2.50*

The app is down almost every other day and there is 0 customer service. There is a number to dial but it just circles you from one AI to the next until it hangs up. Your money is not safe or usable until they feel like it and this happens often. Read all the 1 star reviews and you will see the 5 stars are clearly fake/bought. Canceling my account this week.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot improvement

*2025-04-14, version 24.2.50*

One of the worst mobile banking apps I have ever used. I never know if I’m going to be able to login and check my account, or if the app is going to pop up with a long message telling me its unable to validate my information. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

### 1/5 — Northshore

*2025-04-03, version 24.2.50*

I have free checking, but yet they charge me extra charges half the time I can’t even access the app is constantly going down. I’m trying to pay bills and it says my account is suspended. I would not recommend Northshore Bank. The only reason I haven’t changed is because if I do that goes against me on my credit report.

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2024-12-11, version 24.2.50*

This app is horrible  I would give it 0 stars if possible!!! I can’t never log in at night for some  reason or early in the morning. I’m just so annoyed with it. Very unreliable

LOVE

### 5/5 — Mobile deposit

*2025-06-09, version 25.1.20*

My first time, worked perfectly

### 5/5 — North Shore has improved my opinion of banks

*2024-12-06, version 24.2.50*

I was apprehensive to bank with a bank, especially after having worked for a credit union, & also just bc you hear a lot about the state of our economy & what might happen if everything digital breaks down, so I am paranoid about not having access to my money when I need it. So far, I admit North Shore has made banking easy & stress free for me, & I’m enjoying the experience!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-10-14, version 24.1.102*

Love that I can do most of my banking at home 
Easy App

### 5/5 — LT

*2024-02-24, version 23.2.20*

I like north shore banks

### 5/5 — Usually love but

*2023-09-13, version 23.1.70*

Please fix the problem with not being able to view transactions in checking account on IOS. It only works for savings accounts and it’s frustrating to have to use browser just for one account.

### 5/5 — Check deposit

*2023-07-29, version 22.2.201*

I am so happy to be able to do this. It makes my life so much easier.
