### 2/5 — Can’t login!

*2026-08-18, version 5.8.0*

Can’t login to the app. On web browser only PC it logs in just fine. I use a password manager so I know my passwords are correct. This app is just not working properly.

### 1/5 — People with money can pay the people at Trans Union to destroy your credit score

*2026-08-09, version 5.8.0*

I had a $200 balance on a credit card and my score dropped 67 points. My credit line is way way higher than $200. My credit score should not have dropped that much. People with money are paying people that work at Trans Union to drop people scores drastically to destroy people’s lives. You know how you can pay someone to do something you know how you can pay someone at a company to drop someone’s credit score for no reason why my score dropped 67 points over $200 that doesn’t make any sense it has to be disputed, but if people are paying people at these corrupt credit score agencies like Trans Union Experian and Equifax, there’s no disputing anything because they’re getting paid to fraudulently drop someone’s score for no reason I could sue Trans Union and Equifax and Experian total corrupt companies so my score went up 36 points but then two days later it just randomly dropped 16 points for no reason because I kept paying off more debt and my score, kept dropping more when you pay off debt your score is supposed to keep going higher not keep going lower I was paying off debt and my score was dropping lower when it’s supposed to keep going higher these credit reporting agencies are all corrupt and should be shut down. like you paid off more debt your score is gonna drop more when you pay off debt, your score is supposed to go up higher, not go lower corrupt company CEO should be in prison.

### 1/5 — Sign In Bug

*2026-08-09, version 5.8.0*

Can login from web but not the app. Gives a session id error insisted of texting a code.

### 1/5 — Unable to login to app

*2026-08-06, version 5.8.0*

For App version 5.8.0 (will continue to update for as many versions as possible until issue resolved)

I have never been able to login into the app and I can’t get support for the app itself. I would have to create an X(Twitter) account or a Facebook account to get assistance? That’s wild. You should be able to get assistance directly from the webpage to start then go from there, not start with social media.
Also, update your MFA options. A cell number shouldn’t be the ONLY way for one of the big 3 Credit Bureaus!

### 1/5 — Log in issues nightmare

*2026-08-03, version 5.7.4*

Can never login in. Then redirect to a broke link website that mentions. We’re sorry spending went wrong.

### 1/5 — Out of all credit reporting: this is the worst

*2026-08-02, version 5.7.4*

Freeze needs to login to the browser and the website constantly has rendering error that kicks you out. Other like experian and equifax everything can be done on the app AND if needed the login to we page is easy. 

Transunion REALLY needs to fix the website. There are many people already reported this issues for years.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2026-07-30, version 5.7.4*

It won't accept my password and when it asked to send a code goes back to the beginning. It's not working.

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2026-07-30, version 5.7.4*

I can log in on line with my Android desktop, iPhone and IPad.  But not when trying to use the app.  Deleted it.

### 1/5 — buggy-cannot login

*2026-07-29, version 5.7.4*

i cannot login with this app, yet using a browser on the phone i have no issues.

### 4/5 — Need app

*2026-07-28, version 5.7.4*

I would like an app where I can communicate with Transunion

### 2/5 — Very bad

*2026-07-26, version 5.7.4*

Just ridiculous won’t accept my pass word to log me in. Can’t receive text messages to verify my account. Most ridiculous app ever.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-26, version 5.7.4*

Can’t even unfreeze your credit. Other major credit report company has an app that would let you freeze/unfreeze free. But not this one

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage - completely broken login loop

*2026-07-24, version 5.7.4*

Don’t waste your time downloading this app. It’s fundamentally broken and cannot remember basic login info or biometrics settings. Every single time I open this app, it treats me like a brand new user on a new device.

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2026-07-24, version 5.7.4*

I usually don’t do reviews but this app is frustrating. I rest my password only for it not to work in app. Then when using  the website my account was suspended due to multiple attempts in app. Don’t waist your time just use the website

### 1/5 — This will not work for a basic account

*2026-07-22, version 5.7.4*

I kept getting crashes when I used the app, called TransUnion and the explained that you can only use the app essentially if you’re using the paid version of TransUnion

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-07-21, version 5.7.4*

I have no problem logging in through web but it will not allow me to log in on app. I put in the UN and PW and it wants to send me a code but when I click send code it automatically brings me back to put in my UN and PW and then says The session id was not found in the request. I tried to do the sign up for free and it won’t let me put in the last 4 of my SS#. Have no issue with logging into the other 2 credit bureau apps…this one is just useless app

### 3/5 — Unable to get pass the password screen

*2026-07-17, version 5.7.4*

I downloaded this app then tried to log on and it kept asking to send a verification but didn’t give the choice of which way to send.

### 1/5 — Just go to the website

*2026-07-17, version 5.7.4*

This app ALWAYS denies me access. Even when I try password recovery. 
When I go to the website it works without any problems.

### 1/5 — Terrible App - Doesn’t Work

*2026-07-16, version 5.7.4*

Can easily log in from PC.  IOS app will not accept login credentials.  Keeps looping back to asking for password.  Same lousy app experience for my wife, on her phone, with her separate credentials.

### 1/5 — Login loop

*2026-08-28, version 5.8.0*

This app sucks it just loops non stop when I try to login

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-08-22, version 5.8.0*

Useless download, stick to the web version.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-08-21, version 5.8.0*

The app is for PAID MEMBERS ONLY. You have to use their website to get anything but even then you can’t get it on just the one website, you have to go to multiple different websites & nowhere does it tell you this. The app doesn’t either. Neither of them is user friendly so good luck trying to figure this all out! 😡

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2026-08-19, version 5.8.0*

I see a lot of reviews about not being able to login. I can login perfectly but your service is completely way to slow on updating accounts. In some states they primarily use transunion which I can not stand. When I pay off balances to make my account current I shouldn't have to wait weeks after Experian and my fico report my account on the exact day my institution sends my account info. Just way way to slow and hurts my chances when certain banks just use your service.

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-08-18, version 5.8.0*

You can only access the app if you sign up for the paid service.   However everywhere TransUnion advertises "Free" credit report and credit freeze.   You can access that off a desktop but not the app.   And you have no idea of knowing that unless you spend an hour on the phone for someone to give you that information that you can't use the app.  I'd have had no problem with that had that been clear.   It's however pretty opaque to figure that out.

### 1/5 — Cant Log in ! Broken app!

*2026-08-15, version 5.8.0*

When you try to login and put your password it sends you to a screen to get a code to confirm your account through text or email the problem is you can never receive the code because the app just boots you back to the login page and you get and error saying  “ The session id was not found in the request “

### 1/5 — Useless. Won’t let me sign in

*2026-08-13, version 5.8.0*

I try to sign in and it gives me an error. I know my log info is correct because I can sign into the website.

### 1/5 — CANNOT LOG IN

*2026-08-12, version 5.8.0*

I've had to change my passwords several times . Whole time it was this app!

### 1/5 — Requires paid premium account

*2026-08-11, version 5.8.0*

App requires a paid account. Confirmed this with agent.

Official website states that app access is included with free account.

Conflicting information. Not reassuring.

### 1/5 — App locks all the time

*2026-08-10, version 5.8.0*

Be prepared to constantly being on the phone or chat with tech help because the app will just not let you in. It’s insane.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Perfect simple credit app

*2026-07-31, version 5.7.4*

This is the best free app for credit reports scores and monitoring. It’s easy to use and isn’t selling you a million things you don’t want. Much better than others out there.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-06-24, version 5.7.3*

Great app free to use!

### 5/5 — New Look !!

*2026-06-20, version 5.7.2*

The Credit Nfo this Month is NEW & Different from the last time I checked my score.  I like it, and I appreciate it. :)

### 5/5 — App Locks When Hackers Hit It

*2026-06-10, version 5.7.1*

Unfortunately the app has to constantly be reset but it is clearly because fraud hacks occur constantly and TransUnion locks it immediately. Yes it can be irritating, but what’s better, that it locks out fraudsters immediately or that they let a fraudster steal all a person’s information and create loan frauds?

### 5/5 — Won’t create account

*2026-05-12, version 5.7.1*

Makes me add all of my info but never allows me to open an account. Just hacking me

### 5/5 — Credit report

*2026-05-04, version 5.7.1*

Thank you, Trans Union

### 5/5 — A Must-Have

*2026-04-25, version 5.7.0*

This app is important to easily monitor your information and protect your credit. Simple, easy and straight-to-the-point layout. Does not pile-up on you unwanted, self-generating-income subscriptions and additional paid services, as opposed to what the Experian app does.

### 5/5 — Thank you amazing app

*2026-03-28, version 5.7.0*

Thank you amazing app

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-01-09, version 5.5.0*

Nice

### 5/5 — I got money back!

*2025-10-08, version 5.3.0*

I just received a 75.00 check that I was not expecting.  Transunion got me a refund from one of the skallywags had over charged me. I didn’t ask for a refund, I thought it was just out some hard earned money. I was so happy! I think they are great.
