### 4/5 — Bug and Issue with IOS App

*2026-04-16, version 6.0.0*

Hello, issue is i am running latest ver IOS on Ipad, latest Westpac app 08/04 but for a while now have not been able to receive notifications regards , messaging from Disputes team or notification regard's Deposits made in to account ,a past feature, checked settings on ipad all notifications turned on and also in App, ???

### 1/5 — Updates that are setbacks!

*2026-02-28, version 6.0.0*

Used this app for years but now I can’t enter my password - so frustrating. 
I can’t enter my password at all. Nothing appears! I have to now use the web browser. 
I am using iOS 17.7.10 on an iPad 6th generation.

### 1/5 — Margaret

*2024-12-09, version 6.0.0*

I have been unable to receive notifications of transactions since updating the new app. Have tried to contact Westpac online……hopeless. I went down to the local branch, and they checked that everything was turned on, still didn’t work. 
18 months ago I was able to pick up a withdrawal I had not authorised, and immediately contacted the bank. I am waiting for someone to contact me………

### 2/5 — Lists of transactions for accounts

*2024-10-24, version 6.0.0*

Previous version better where I could see more than recent five transactions for my accounts. Hope this is fixed soon as using app is useless.

### 3/5 — Easy to use providing you wear sunglasses

*2024-09-16, version 6.0.0*

This is a great App. I have used it a lot ever since it was released. The only failure is the lack of a dark mode. It’s so bright white, it hurts my eyes. I have an eye problem where bright light and hideously white screens severely affect my vision. These days most apps have a Dark Mode specifically for this problem.  Seems odd that I have an iPad all in Dark Mode, till I start the Westpac App and it’s like Microsoft used to be “Wall of White”. There is a setting for ‘wallpaper’, however, it only shows if you are not looking at anything useful, like links etc….. Wonder what the Developer was thinking! Would be good to hear Dark Mode is coming, otherwise I will have to change to another Bank just to solve this problem.

### 1/5 — Cries wolf

*2024-03-20, version 6.0.0*

Some notifications are useful and important. This app tells you of how many notifications you have by a small number on the app icon. Unfortunately, it gets numbers from 2 up to 4 every day.  When you go into the app there are NO notifications. Once you close the app the number vanishes. Unfortunately, it may return later in the day with the same result.

### 1/5 — Getting worse and worse

*2024-02-22, version 6.0.0*

Auto sign in is a terrible idea
Log out button no longer in a convenient location. 
Lost the drag and drop feature
Layout now is poorly constructed 
Please go back to the app we all use to like

### 1/5 — UNUSABLE!

*2023-12-20, version 6.0.0*

I can’t even set up this app on my iPad, as it won’t accept my ID and password. The same ID and password that work perfectly on my iPhone and laptop, are not accepted by this app. Useless.

### 1/5 — Suspicious!

*2023-12-16, version 6.0.0*

I opened the new Westpac  app for ipad as suggested. It asks for a new longer password but would not accept the one I created after multiple attempts. 
Westpac has not announced this new version, so I am suspicious that it is a phishing exercise. 

I was able to log into the old app and will continue to use that. 
Uurgh. 
Sarah.

### 1/5 — What is the point !!

*2023-10-20, version 6.0.0*

Hundreds of reviewers saying the same thing for months and months …….what gets done …..zip. 
Same old same old ….
Put three recorded …sorry messages up …that’ll sort the whiners.
Vote with your feet people !!
