### 1/5 — Not happy

*2023-03-16*

I’m not happy most of the time it doesn’t work anyway

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2020-03-27, version 2020.1.1*

Worst online banking experience ever!! And the customer support is even worse they speak so aggressively and are not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — Sehr schlechte App

*2020-03-06, version 2020.1*

Die App ist komplett nutzlos: Es ist nicht möglich sich seinen Kontoauszug anzeigen zu lassen, In App Best Sign funktioniert nicht, da der Brief zur Aktivierung nach 4 Wochen immer noch nicht da ist, Apple Pay gibt es auch nicht. Könnte man auch 0 Sterne verteilen, würde ich dies tun.

### 1/5 — Not satisfied

*2020-01-29, version 2019.3.1*

I am not satisfied with this bank. The customer service and support is very very bad. The app is not working right.

### 1/5 — Authentication only works after 3 attempts

*2020-01-06, version 2019.3.1*

Authentication only works after 3 attempts

### 1/5 — Disaster app

*2019-12-06, version 2019.3.1*

App crashes while I try to log in. That makes every attempt of log in frustrating and I start thinking about changing bank. Mobile tan option was much easier and functional than this. This app deserves zero!

### 1/5 — User

*2019-11-12, version 2019.3.1*

Worst bank and online banking ever with this BestSign crap!!!!!

### 1/5 — Rating

*2017-05-09, version 2.13.1*

The application is very confusing, especially for those of us who are English speaking ex pats, and need to bank with postbank. In this European era, where we are travelling more and more within Europe, it would help enormously if more choice of languages were added to the app. 
The set up is not very simple, it doesn't show you current balance but instead it shows both ins and outs of your account. Not knowing what the current balance is.

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for the feedback! There has not been much demand for an English-language version yet, we will however gladly forward the request for future consideration. If you swipe left on "Übersicht", you find the current balances of all accounts separately. Please let us know whether this was helpful!

### 1/5 — Annoying popups

*2016-08-29, version 2.10.0*

"create a Postbank ID NOW" is what I see every single time when I log in. I expect more from a reputable bank (!) than to assail me with annoying popups.

### 1/5 — Multiple languages

*2016-06-29, version 2.10.0*

Most of the Bank apps in Germany are multi-Language but the post Bank, 
Is there any plan in the future to have English Language?

### 5/5 — Funktionierte - besser als die NachfolgeApp

*2023-04-06*

That's all to remark. Why the bank started an overhaul of something that finally worked well (to start the process all over) is out of my imagination on cleverness. YMMV.

### 5/5 — English

*2021-05-12, version 2021.1.3*

In English will be great!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. So far an English version is not planned yet. We are sorry.

### 5/5 — Wichtig

*2020-12-05, version 2020.2.2*

Wichtig ,,,, bitte in mehreren Sprachen und Englisch sein Wir leben in der Globalisierung

### 5/5 — Great App.  No problem what so ever.

*2019-12-27, version 2019.3.1*

Happy.

### 5/5 — Total begeistert vom Postbank Finanzapp

*2019-06-19, version 2019.2*

Einfach in der Bedienung- von allen Ecken der Welt. Habe ein sicheres Gefühl,es auch meinem Mobil  zu benutzen und bietet mir schnell und unkompliziert alles was ich auf meinem Mobile brauche. Trotz mehrfacher Versuche auch mit Anleitung von Postbankberatern funktioniert BestSign in- die neue Postbank app weder auf meinem iPhone, I-Pad oder meinem iBook.
Muss mich wohl mit etwas mehr Zeit und noch ein paar Besuche bei kompetenten Postbank Beratern auf mich nehmen. Viele ältere Kollegen kennen sich damit nicht aus und haben auch nicht die Absicht sich da noch damit zu beschäftigen.
Allerdings habe ich auch die Erfahrung gemacht, dass sich auch jüngere Kollegen noch nicht wirklich damit auskennen.
Wenn die Wartezeiten bei der Post ba meisten nicht so unheimlichen lange währen, hätte ich mich auch schon an die Hotline gewandt- ich gehe davon aus, dass ich dort ausschließlich bestens geschultes Fachpersonal antreffen werde 👍🏼😊

### 5/5 — Erstaunlich ausgereift

*2018-10-10, version 2018.3.2*

Alles was man braucht. BestSign ist klasse und wohl ziemlich sicher.

### 4/5 — Mag Bluetoth nicht (Wechsel des Netzwerks)

*2022-06-10, version 2022.2.1*

App funktioniert eigentlich zuverlässig und gut. Wo ein Bug zu sein scheint: gelegentlich verbinde ich mein iPhone per Bluetooth oder USB-Kabel mit einem Laptop und dieser gibt seine Netzwerkverbindung an's iPhone weiter. Führt IMMER dazu, das beim ersten Anmelden das interne BestSign am Ende aufgibt. Also App neu starten. Beim 2.Mal geht es dann (nach Eingabe des BestSign Passworts). Immer. Daher nervig.

### 4/5 — لو

*2020-02-24, version 2019.3.1*

ياحبذا أن تكون هناك نسخة بالعربية

### 4/5 — Decent Banking App with potential

*2018-10-01, version 2018.3.2*

I have been using the online Portal and the iOS app now for multiple years and I am happy to see steady progress. 
It is a decent mobile app (especially for Germany) and offers some good security features around transfers. 
I would love to see improvements in two areas:
- Language Support: Germany is quite multi-cultural and I have quite a number of Friends and colleagues who are not comfortable banking in German. English is a must and I would argue that even some other popular languages should be added over time.
- Multi-Bank: the app already offers some good functionality and I can add credit cards from other banks. However, it is lacking some basic user experience components (like saving the password of the external bank). Pleas focus more on this feature. I would love to get a single point for my financial overview.

Thanks

### 4/5 — Satisfied

*2017-09-03, version 2.15.0*

It's overall very good.
