### 1/5 — Bad bad bad

*2026-06-10, version 2.0.14*

Signed up for the £20 bonus and never received. Back and forth with Lovely Gertrud from customer service for a month or two, she is still waiting for a reply from the escalation team. Get your act together guys. Not. On.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-03-10, version 2.0.14*

There is an issue with the app now as the navigation buttons work. I see that the app hasn’t been updated in a while so may be due one.

### 1/5 — Stopped working properly

*2026-03-10, version 2.0.14*

Suddenly can not click dashboard, growth, activity and  profile on the app. Unusable

### 5/5 — Great personal pension company

*2026-03-05, version 2.0.14*

It’s well set up and easy to use app and it gives you good information and options as to the risk levels you can invest your pension in. 
It’s good how you can amend or stop payments depending on your wants and needs.

### 4/5 — Flexible way to see your pension grow

*2025-08-17, version 2.0.14*

Joining Penfold a few years ago, the Penfold app has given me the flexibility as a self employed person to pay what I can when I can and top up extra whenever I want. The choices are simple and stress free. Highly recommend to any business / contractor unsure how much commit to paying into a pension but needing to start somewhere. Wish I’d joined sooner.

### 1/5 — Impossible to log in

*2025-06-20, version 2.0.11*

There is no option to login to the app if you have an existing account…  prompts to sign up for a new account but no login option anywhere. So frustrating. I have tried deleting and re-installing the app multiple times. Looks like this is a long standing problem based on other reviews from a year ago… pretty major problem!!!

### 1/5 — High fees, broken app and they make your life hell if you try to move out

*2025-02-25, version 2.0.10*

Charging that kinda fee on top of the funds is silly and when my colleagues try to move off, it was a lengthy, broken and painful process. Would avoid at all cost if you can

### 1/5 — Communication

*2025-02-05, version 2.0.10*

I’m not sure what the barrier is to timely communication , maybe not enough staff but I’ve been waiting 2 days for someone to respond to my messages in the app.

### 5/5 — Easy pension

*2025-01-27, version 2.0.10*

I’ve had this app for about four years and have watched my pension pot grow, easy to use and understand, the downside is that I started it late,
