Major Highlights of the Week

Payment Restrictions
Users are unable to make payments beyond the minimum or total balance, limiting their payment flexibility. This issue is exacerbated by the app's failure to recognize the latest version, causing unnecessary payment errors.
I can't pay more than the minimum balance, and the app says I need an update that doesn't exist.
Biometric Failures
The app frequently resets biometric login settings, forcing users to repeatedly enter passwords and security codes. This disrupts the user experience and undermines the convenience of biometric authentication.
Every time I log in, it says my biometric settings were reset due to an update, which is very annoying.
Login and Access Issues
Users face persistent login problems, including being kicked out or unable to register, which severely hampers account access. These issues are compounded by error messages and lack of support, leading to user frustration.
I can't log in; the app keeps kicking me out and says my phone is incompatible.
Feature Parity Concerns
The app lacks essential features available on the web version, forcing users to switch platforms for basic tasks. This inconsistency in feature availability diminishes the app's utility and user satisfaction.

Customer Support Gaps

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is very buggy. Very often you are denied a login by Face ID if you dare to log in a few times in a row unlike any other app ever. I very often see a swirling Loading spinner that never completes so I have to quit the app and reload. It’s a very lightweight app feature wise, yet feels like it gets no development to fix bugs or that the devs never use it themselves so don’t care. Very poor.
RyanHP
The app is missing many features which mean you have to login on a web browser in order to go about your banking. Payments to Barclaycard via the app simply do not work, payment declined message always appears and tried on various different cards. You would think for such a big company they would cover the basics but clearly not. I will not be with them for long!
Jrickerby
The app used to be really good. after the big change it is now extremely slow and lags terribly. this makes the user experience very poor as you can't fluidly scroll the transactions and it takes a long time to execute when a button is used. This is basic stuff for an app and I thought it was just a bug that would be fixed quickly. however it's like a whole year with the same problems. It seems like the people responsible for the app and upper management never actually uses it.
