Still garbage after all this time

No cohesion since its release. Logs out every now and then. The only app that doesn’t work with key chain which is basic stuff. Biometrics are used by the banking industry but this app still needs a ridiculous password for extra authentication.

Response from developer

Please email people.app@royalmail.com if you have an issue. Please use the 'Remember Me' option to save logging in. The people app requires a Memorable phrase to access data sensitive information - this is in place at the request of the RMG governance teams. You can also access the people app via weblink on PC if required to assist with screen size.

Needs some polishing

The app crashes from time to time and logs you out randomly. It does all the fundamentals though.

One suggestion I’d love to see is an email when a payslip is generated to save logging in to find out.

Typical RM Garbage

This app is like every else about the company, absolute garbage. Everything this company does, is always the cheapest and most basic option. Just logging into the app is an absolute mission, no biometrics so you have to remember your password and then various letters or numbers from your memorable word, if you want to view anything sensitive.
It’s supposed to save your login but never works for long. Whoever they paid to create this app was laughing all the way to the bank.
It makes we want to leave the company every time I use this app.

Good…..when it works

App keeps crashing, and I’m trying to order more uniform. Try to select the reason button and it just closes the app. Have used it previously without issue, but now it’s useless.
And why can’t it use Face ID like most apps these days?

Response from developer

Please email people.app@royalmail.com with details of the issue and we will be happy to investigate and resolve for you. If you have an issue with the Uniform Store this is separate application to the people app which simply acts as a gateway so issues should be raised via the My App & HR help tile using the keyword search of 'uniform'

Crashes to often

App works well when it works but it crashes way too much! Endless bugs and very slow. Also the password system to access payslips is too outdated when we have access to face I.D or finger print authentication, no one needs a random 12 digit password which you have to write down somewhere.

RM - PLEASE READ!!!!

ZERO STARS!!! simply does not work - i’m registered, verified and logged in… when i try to view any options, for example, “view payslips”, it simply gets stuck in “Loading - Please Wait - Data is Loading” - it simply does not happen!!! DO NOT CHOOSE THE OPTION TO STOP RECEIVING PAPER PAY SLIPS!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday, I received an email to tell me that it is “The People’s App” 2nd birthday - yet, Two Years on and they still can’t make an app that works!! It’s time Royal Mail started to listen to their employees… THIS DOES NOT WORK - PLEASE LISTEN - PLEASE FIX THIS OR DELETE IT COMPLETELY!!! STOP CONGRATULATING YOURSELVES AND PATTING YOURSELVES ON YOUR OWN BACKS AND LISTEN TO YOUR EMOLOYEES - this is causing more STRESS STRESS STRESS for your EMPLOYEES - Not required and definitely NOT WANTED… LISTEN TO THE BACKBONE OF THE BUSINESS PLEASE!!

Annual Leave & Payslips … God Send!

Not having to be in the office or on a VPN to access my payslips has been amazing. Also, the new way to put in annual leave requests is so easy and I like that it’s by hours so I can take off exactly what I use.

Response from developer

Thankyou for the positive feedback

Oh dear

When the app works, it’s very useful and quite easy to navigate. The ability to book holiday is lacking but apart from that, not a bad app. WHEN IT WORKS. Some computer genius has updated the app today and added some more features but made it impossible to access the basics. Now, after today’s “update” I no longer have access to mybundle, as the app refuses to authenticate my details. Unbelievably incompetent
Update:
The app has now excelled itself. I’ve been logged out unexpectedly and
Now I’m unable to log in again. The app just doesn’t recognise my login details. Unnecessary stress and aggravation and time
Consuming to sort out…
I stand by my earlier comments. The app is great and incredibly useful when it works. It’s just that it doesn’t work very well, very often

My bundle fraud

App is good for checking pay when it works but don’t go near my bundle they have messed me around for months and now taking my car from me no communication still taking money for insurance I don’t have I owed hundreds in tax stay away that simple your a joke

Response from developer

The people app is a separate application to MyBundle which the people app simply acts as a gateway. Therefore your comments do not reflect the people app.

Good when working

I have used this app for a while now and most of the time it works ok and is very good. But when it doesn’t it is very bad. I cancelled payslips as it was easier all round to view online. So when it doesn’t work or crashes, no payslip etc. By all means download app but don’t cancel paper payslips

Doesn’t work

I can’t access any of the personal information..pay, holidays etc.
It just keeps giving me an error message, and I have no idea how I can report to the app developers to get a solution, or even just to report it. Within the help section there is nothing on reporting app errors. So I appear to be stuck with an app that doesn’t work, and unable to access pay and holiday information, unless of course I put in a written request, to my offices staff resources, then wait for their written reply…tedious.

Touch menus

Yes it has potential but like most things Royal Mail are attached to some things don’t work. For example touch menus just don’t redirect to the webpage or next step you are trying to access. As my school teacher once said to me C minus….could do better 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did not work

Spent an age filling in passwords and mem words etc and after half an hour when I got onto the App I could not view my holiday or pay. Just would not log on and then an error message. Finally a video editing app popped up which I could not recover and go back. Geez what a shambles. I’ve had to delete the App

Kenny

App contents are great to be able to see your payslip & see your holidays ,would like to be able to apply for holidays on the app . The app takes long time to actually open & only seems to open on 4g never opens on Wi-Fi

Needs serious updates

Great idea but terrible in practice, constantly crashing and just doesn’t function. I haven’t been able to order uniform or even view my payslips. Would definitely use this all the time if it worked

Can’t accept authentication

This app seems useful except for the fact it keeps asking me to authenticate. Which I have.. I’ve tried to do it again, it won’t let me. I’ve deleted the app and still won’t authenticate. Not really sure what else I can do..

Needs work

The app is actually very good as mentioned it would be good to book that leftover holiday but even so it’s good. I did find when ordering/trying to order uniform I could not due to a tool bar at the bottom being in the way of the ‘next page’ button that needs fixing.

Error!

Seriously, why would you even release this without making sure it actually works?
Doesn’t recognise the national insurance number, so can’t access your pay slip, which is pretty much the point of the app.
Spend a quid, get a quids worth, and that’s how much they spent developing this.
There isn’t a zero star rating available, so one is the best you’re getting.
About as useful as hairdryer in a shower.
