## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Identify

*2024-06-10, version 4.41.111*

If it is using face recognition why does it immediately go to asking for a password instead of trying to recognize my face.

### 1/5 — Fails to set-up

*2012-08-03, version 2.1.66*

Verry disappointed. Was so looking forward to this just to not even be able to get it set up. Displays a network error 100% of the time.

### 2/5 — Needs work and partnerships

*2020-06-25, version 4.32.118*

No connection to zelle and other ways to move Money. Mobile deposit has a hard time reading the words “mobile deposit made to...”

### 2/5 — Photo function inoperable

*2015-11-09, version 3.4.21*

Easy to navigate. However, check photo feature will not focus properly, or at all, thus making the app unusable for mobile check deposit.

### 3/5 — No helpful app

*2021-02-21, version 4.32.118*

The app doesn’t have lot of options including online check deposit

### 4/5 — Mobile check deposit is iffy.

*2019-07-23, version 4.19.115*

First let me say that I loved the banking app, and the ability to mobile deposit. I buy groceries for my elderly neighbor and she pays me back via checks. We live 45 minutes away from any bank branch that we can use without fees so depositing from home was great! 

Now the problem...

“For mobile deposit at Penn State FCU” on one line and readable because it’s very picky? Really? One line? It doesn’t fit.

Maybe you can make it three lines, first is signature, second is “for mobile deposit”, third line is “at Penn State FCU” 

or something. 

Just a suggestion. Because if i have to continually struggle to get the app to work, and have to stop at the credit union to deposit my checks after having the app reject it multiple times, the app becomes useless and eventually I will stop using it and delete it. I don’t handle frustration well.

Thanks for reading. And i do appreciate the fact that you do these updates with security in mind, but you have to throw a little reality in there also.

Thx!

### 4/5 — Great Mobile Banking App

*2017-03-08, version 3.11.238*

Easy to use and always reliable and efficient. I would give it 5 stars if they would add "Touch ID" to be able to log into the application on an iPhone!

### 5/5 — Is Very Important

*2024-05-15*

Penn State has a great mobile app, the only thing missing is external transfer. The bank needs to rebrand and add new features like external transfer 🤝

### 5/5 — Love mobile check deposit!

*2024-03-09, version 4.41.111*

Thanks for developing this app, PSFCU! I’ve been a member for over 25 years and am happy to have this interface to use instead of Penny Online, especially thanks to the mobile check deposit feature. I don’t deposit checks often, and I live 25 miles from my nearest PSFCU office, so I appreciate the convenience of depositing from home. I also find the app easier to use and navigate than the website portal.

### 5/5 — Must Utilize this opportunity

*2024-01-25, version 4.41.111*

As a Penn State graduate, I am proud of the CU
and can address my financial goals

This is so simple to use. Finally an easy mobile banking app that always works!

### 5/5 — Welcome bug fixes and much improved GUI

*2018-12-30, version 4.19.115*

The latest update was a big step forward. Aside from bugs the old one was getting a bit stale. Face ID is a welcome addition too.

### 5/5 — Easy to use & helpful

*2014-08-21, version 3.4.21*

I love the mobility of this app. It's helpful and easy to navigate through. I never have to worry about going through a complicated process to switch money from accounts or to check my balance. It's simple and easy to use! I love it.
