Looks ugly and not working. IOS version asking to android version ### 3/5 — Improvements needed *2026-03-24* The app is beautifully designed. There are many issues faced like for joint account holder CKYC number is being asked for virtual debit card. I have my CKYC number, but there is no way to put it and to validate it. All the app does is to ask to go to Branch, which is totally downside for a mobile banking app. A mobile banking app should be standalone app and a replacement for the Branch itself. There is a lot of scope to grow for this app and be adult. Please stop asking to go to Branch and find alternate ways to solve problems through mobile banking only. Also NEFT IMPS etc charges are not displayed we see blank pages. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, We thank you for raising the request and we are consistently working towards making your user experience better.

Those who designed that should be ashamed. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, We regret the inconvenience caused to you. Rating for every login captures the user experience of that particular login journey. Thank you for your patronage. If any issue, write to us at feedback.statebankanywhere@sbi.co.in. along with your registered mobile no device details and error message for analysis. ### 4/5 — Compatibility *2026-02-14, version 7.2.0* Some of the features app is not compatible with iphone . Please rectify. ### 4/5 — Unable to register *2026-01-18, version 7.2.0* I’m unable to register as I’m getting technical issues error ### 3/5 — Cannot apply for IPO after creation of new application portal *2026-01-06* Till sometime ago, I could apply for IPO using YONO Lite app without any issues. The process was fairly easy and quick. However, ever since a new lage has been created for submitting applications for IPO, the process has become a nightmare. I don’t see an option to select cut-off price for the bid, nor could I fill in the number of shares applied for. Despite repeated attempts, I couldn’t succeed. Finally, I had to log-in to internet banking page and complete the application. I would request the developer to look into and rectify the issue. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, The inconvenience caused to you is deeply regretted. Please share the detail issue by writing to feedback.statebankanywhere@sbi.co.in along with your registered mobile no, device details & also share the steps you followed on the YONO lite app & error message for analysis. So that we can improve our service ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-10-05, version 6.1.3* India IT is working so hard for foreign banks. But SBI can’t use the same talent to fix their own app. But it comes with big advantage. The best secure app, even the actual user can’t login to the app. ### 1/5 — Unreasonable App Restriction Affects Usability *2025-08-06* I rely on TeamViewer for essential work-related tasks and am fully aware that it is installed on my device. However, the YONO app refuses to launch solely because of TeamViewer’s presence. While it’s understandable to alert users about potential risks, completely blocking access is unreasonable—especially when legitimate business tools are involved. Users should be given the choice to proceed, not forced to uninstall necessary software. As a result, I ended up uninstalling both YONO and YONO Lite. This has been the worst mobile banking experience I’ve had with SBI. There are better approaches—ICICI’s iMobile app, for example, notifies me about TeamViewer and allows me to proceed with my consent. SBI must seriously rethink this approach and implement a more user-centric solution—blocking access entirely is simply not acceptable in today’s digital banking environment. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, to enhance security, you will not be able to use app if remote controlled apps like Any desk ,TeamViewer etc. are installed in the device. Kindly uninstall the same to continue using Yono Lite app. If any issue persist, request you to share your registered mobile no, device and error msg details for analysis & also share the steps you followed on the app at feedback.statebankanywhere@sbi.co.in. ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2025-05-14, version 6.1.1* I can’t even log in and it always says `we can’t complete your request now’.I am using updated version of this app and still can’t access and i even reset password ### 2/5 — Make it easy *2025-05-02, version 6.1.1* Please merge the SBI SECURE OTP app with this for better experience….we don’t need two different App to complete one transaction… ### 1/5 — App won’t work on ios 18.3.2 *2025-03-27* The app won’t work for the latest version of ios, i.e. 18.3.2! Keeps giving the error that my device has security issue. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, The inconvenience caused to you is deeply regretted.

Full of bugs. Nothing is working **Developer response:** Dear Customer, The inconvenience caused to you is deeply regretted. As part of security enhancements, Mandatory login password change is introduced for added security. Please Kindly login to OnlineSBI to change your password.

Any time is get log off and doesn't work. ### 1/5 — How many times do we register *2025-03-06, version 6.0.2* An update and then go Register again. It’s a joke. ### 1/5 — Not able to register after phone upgrade *2025-02-28, version 6.0.2* Not able to register even after sending message multiple times. Just random technical error!!! Waste of money for NRI customers ### 1/5 — 3rd class *2025-02-24, version 6.0.1* 3rd class services in the world ### 1/5 — Cheap app *2025-02-14, version 6.0.1* Useless App like useless bank ### 1/5 — Does not work for NRIs. Beware nris don’t open SBI account *2025-02-04* Account randomly gets locked on phone. They say they are working on nri support but at the moment it doesn’t even let me login. Sbis online version of lunch ke baad aaao is “kindly visit the branch.”Idiots at SBI think customers are employees, forcing us to register phone or change password every few days . Call customer support they will say kindly visit branch. Lose your debit card and try to request a new one , they say visit branch. Who will pay the travel expenses to visit a branch in India. It’s better to donate all funds to electoral bonds that fraud SBI facilitated than deal with this bank. ### 1/5 — Big con *2025-02-04, version 6.0.1* Terrible app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The new version just don’t work *2026-08-16* Ever since the new version has come I noticed there is no Mpin, it does not recognise face detection so I have to manually log in each time. After logging in when I open my pass book it shows recording of old transactions only. I earlier used refresh and recent transactions would show but, now it just won’t and when I try to see my other linked account, it just wont open, the existing account and its transaction recordings just wont go. There is a massive glitch in the app making it super inconvinient to use. Time and again I have to go on web through my laptop to check a simple thing or do simple transaction. It is horrible. Please look into it and rectify. Bring the old version back or something coz this one is not working at all. **Developer response:** Dear Customer, The inconvenience caused to you is deeply regretted.

Also need to download the app theough mobile data. 😂😂 ### 1/5 — Biggest bank of India but pathetic app *2026-04-25* The app has stone age like user interface with one of the worst customer experience. If I switch between other apps, this app abruptly logs me out. And then I cannot login as the log-off link was not clicked. --- update --- This app is so old school that I cannot take screen shot of error!

I also use the mobile banking apps of some other banks. I must say that SBI Yono Lite is the best app out of all these banking apps. It is very user friendly, easy to navigate and does not have any bugs. It seamlessly integrates my various accounts and cards with SBI. The only thing that I do not like about this app is that if you just close the app without manually logging-out from it, then it locks the account for sometime. ### 5/5 — Working as expected. *2022-01-01* Using the app since it is launched. Easy to use and have all options as online banking. ### 5/5 — Yono *2021-10-20, version 5.3.52* Not bad at all ### 5/5 — Quit good app *2021-07-14, version 5.3.48* Nice app ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-07-01* This SBI YONO App is MUCH better than others and vastly superior to some by prestigious international banks. Well done to SBI and it’s App development team. It would be unbelievably wonderful if the quality of App Support becomes half as good. ### 5/5 — Best Banking App *2021-06-29* SBI banking app is best app amoung other bank. Most of the feature are available on app itself and you don’t have to login to web for anything. Waiting for more updates **Developer response:** Dear Customer, We are glad that you have had a delightful experience on our app. Thank you so much for this 5 star rating. We will continue to provide you the best of our services. -SBI Mobile Team ### 5/5 — Fantastic Transformation *2021-06-25* This app has come a long way from what it was few years back. The app is void of any glitches that we are encountering in some of the private bank apps and I must say the backend management of the tech stack is phenomenal. Does a lot of things and really feel good to use it. However, more upgrades needs to be implemented to ensure the app can manage more activities rather than fixing customers to go to the branch. The ICICI mobile app is the benchmark and I sincerely hope to see this app meeting those standards in the near term. Thanks for all the hard work done and hope to see more upgrades soon😀 **Developer response:** Dear Customer, We regret the inconvenience caused. Request you to mail us your concern at feedback.statebankanywhere@sbi.co.in with error details, iOS version and iphone model. We are happy to assist you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
