Needs work

The app works fine except outside business hours. Not sure why but may be database maintenance or something. Basically it is not working when it would be most useful.
Also you cannot schedule payments for credit card. I end up having to use bill pay to transfer funds to pay Redwoods own credit card because you cant schedule a date to pay. Its funky, finicky, non intuitive, works differently than every other banking app Ive ever used. I have the impression that a lot of things were done a certain way to “solve problems “ instead of making it user friendly and solving the issues in the backend.

Unusable due to several minutes loading

Why in the world did they change the app? The other one worked fine. So far. I keep giving up on the download when it hits three or four minutes. It honestly should not take that long for it to download. I have downloaded after deleting the app multiple times and there is no improvement. Are we the beta test on this because it failed.

Love the Business but not the app so much

My experience with the app has been mixed over the years. I adjusted my expectations and things have been ok lately, until the Touch ID was disabled unexpectedly and I was essentially locked out of the app while I was traveling and couldn’t use until I returned home.
It looks like there’s a new app available now but after I downloaded it it and attempted to use, I got a message that it’s not available to all customers yet.
I love RCU for the most part but stuff like this app business is frustrating.

Response from developer

Hello, Sorry to hear you were affected by the TouchID issue we had. That incident should have been isolated to the morning of Wednesday 5/17 and was resolved by 2pm. Members were still able to login using their username and password, but the ease and convenience of biometric login was affected, apologies. We do have chat available in mobile and online banking that can be used instead of a phone call if you ever run into issues in the future. We are finalizing development on our new digital banking platform. We have started offering Members invitations to convert to the new system, but we are selecting Members based on services they use that we have completed development on. We are attempting to invite all our Members to move to the new system over the next 3-4 months. We are blocking Members from registering for the new platform/app that utilize services that aren't available in the new system yet. Please feel free to email us at remotedelivery@redwoodcu.org or chat with us if you have any other questions we can help with. We appreciate your business. Thank you! Redwood Credit Union

Garbage (fixed)

This app used to be fine and now they disabled Touch ID and changed it so Face ID. So if you have an iPhone with a center button you have to enter your password every time. Useless! Edit: this issue has been fixed. In order to activate Touch ID you must activate Face ID (even if you don’t have it). Shouldn’t be that way, but it works.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for the update. You are correct, this should not be working this way. It should list Touch ID for Touch ID enabled devices and Face ID only for Face ID enabled devices. Our development team is working on resolving this bug. Thank you, Redwood Credit Union

Best banking app

Edit: touch ID not functioning glitch resolved itself after 3 days. Overall I’ve been incredibly happy with this app over the years. The best banking app. Developer team is responsive to issues. Thank you.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for the update and the 5-start rating, happy to hear the issue was resolved. Please let us know if anything else comes up. We appreciate your business. All our best, Redwood Credit Union

The app may need to be updated

Since the latest iOS updates, this app seems to not be as responsive as it used to be. It refuses to go past the RCU open screen and log in with the face recognition or password page. This seems to be happening more often than not. Unfortunately, I’ve become reliant on mobile banking.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for reporting this issue. We didn't make a change but we do see that several Members have reported issues with Touch ID & Face ID and our app. A few of those Members have posted that the issue is now resolved for them. If you are still seeing issues, would you please contact us? We'd like to make sure this is resolved for you and any other Members. You can email us at remotedelivery@redwoodcu.org or call us at 800-479-7928 and select option 5 for technical support. Thank you! Redwood Credit Union

Possibly the worst banking app I have had the displeasure of using

It makes me reset my password each time I try to log in, that would be fine if I forgot my password, but if I log out then log in right after it doesn’t register the password I just set for my account. And now I can’t even reset my password to log in since it crashes on the reset screen. I haven’t been able to log in for over a month now due to this issue.

Response from developer

Hello, We're sorry to hear about this experience. Will you please contact us with your name so we can look up your account and get this resolved? You can email us: remotedelivery@redwoodcu.org or call 800-479-7928 and select option 5 for technical support. We never require your password to be reset. We do lock the account if the incorrect password is entered 3 times. You are able to self-unlock your account, but you would still need the correct saved password to access the account. We've gone through the reset password functionality and it appears to be working without issue, so we'd appreciate hearing more about where this process is failing for you as well. Thank you for reporting this. All our best, Redwood Credit Union

Why doesn’t Redwood Credit Union update this app!

This app is absolutely horrible! It never wants to load when you open up the app, and it also never keeps your personal preferences… do yourself a favor and just go online to the website.

Not working well at all

I’ve had the app for a whole and it worked great. Klately it won’t load at all. I’ve tried to update—nothing.

Great app!

With the recent updates almost everything I had problems with in the past has been fixed. Thanks for your continued efforts to make this more user friendly!

Response from developer

That's great to hear, thank you for the feedback and the excellent rating! We will also be starting some Member UX testing soon to further make sure we are making the right UX improvements. Please let us know if you would be interested in participating. You can email us at: remotedelivery@redwoodcu.org All our best, Redwood Credit Union

Not working on my iPhone 6s+

When I click on the app it doesn’t open. Is the update too new for my phone?

App often does not load

I love Redwood Credit Union and have used the mobile app for years with no problem, but since the last update it often won’t load when attempting to open. I hope they fix this soon.

Response from developer

Hello, We apologize for the issues you've been experiencing. We're very interested in getting this fixed. Would you be willing to provide more information so we can resolve it? When you say the app won't load when attempting to open, are you getting to the login page? Is the issue after you login? You can email us directly at remotedelivery@redwoodcu.org. Thank you for your business! Redwood Credit Union

App freezes

After a recent iOS update this app keeps freezing on a page and I have to throw it away and download the app till to use it again. Please fix this.

Face ID doesn’t work with iPhone latest update

Hello…just updated my iPhone with the latest update. Face ID doesn’t work nor does option to do mobile deposits. Looks like those features just vanished. Prior to update….worked wonderfully!

Reliable and easy to use

It’s secure and fast, and I particularly like the mobile check deposit - it guides you on how to position the camera and takes the picture for you. So quick and easy!

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for the great rating and review! Quick and easy is exactly what we're shooting for. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better serve you. All out best, Redwood Credit Union

I love it

I’m new to RCU. About 1 month. The user face is a bit dated, but it HAS EVERYTHING you need. And it’s easy to find things. Most importantly for me, every-time you make a transaction, they what your NEW balance is and posts it on the bottom right of that individual transaction. My previous bank doesn’t do this and I always had to do the math myself. I really hope this specific feature doesn’t go away now that they are releasing an update. Either way, love you guys!

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for the great rating and review! We do have a new website coming in a couple weeks but we will not be changing our mobile or online banking platform this year. We are looking at moving to a new platform but it will most likely not be sooner than the end of next year. We've worked hard to develop all the features currently in the mobile app, so we will be looking to have those available in any new platform we move to as well. All our best, Redwood Credit Union

Tiny font

I don’t understand why the font is so tiny and light. This is banking…I want bright bold numbers.

Landscape View not working

Currently on a 12.9” iPad Pro and the landscape mode suddenly stopped working…

Love RCU- app not so much

For the past month or so the app takes a long time to load even to the login page - upwards of 30seconds to 1min. It’s much faster to login via safari.

Does not work. Update: WORKS!

Does not work anymore!!

Update: Whatever they did fixed the issue.
