### 2/5 — So secure, it is unusable!

*2023-11-19*

RAK bank mobile app has single-handedly decided to become so secure that is has become unusable. 
It is apparently now mandatory to register for RAK token. Registration process is primitive and cumbersome. It demands multiple steps, including debit card PIN which RAK bank has conveniently forgotten to deliver to us!
Is this a comedy or a tragedy? Most certainly, it is not fun!

### 1/5 — Calls Neglected.

Keep 15 mints no one responding too. ????

### 1/5 — Racist app

*2023-10-26, version 37.0*

The app filters you out based on the nationality you hold, and refuses to open your account if you’re a third world country national. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED.

### 1/5 — Not Optimus for larger phones

*2023-10-15, version 36.9*

The application is not optimized for iPhone plus. The bank should look into this on an urgent basis.

### 1/5 — App functionality issues

*2023-09-29*

I have been having functionality problems since a month ago with my iPhone 14 Pro, with the top back arrow and the three dots, they are hidden behind the battery percentage and the clock, whenever I press on the 3 dots or the back arrow, nothing happens, I have to close the app and start again with the same issue.
I changed to iPhone 15 Pro Max with bigger screen thinking the problem will be solved with bigger screen but the problem still exists on all iPhones models! 
Please fix this issue asap as it’s very annoying!
