TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Direct Line's key feedback

1

Login Issues

A significant number of users, approximately 20%, report difficulties logging into the app, often receiving error messages or invalid codes despite using correct credentials. This issue is particularly frustrating as users can access their accounts via the website without problems.

I can log in on the website, but the app won't accept my login details.

2

Policy Visibility Problems

Around 15% of users experience issues with viewing their insurance policies on the app, with some policies not appearing or showing outdated information. This makes it challenging for users to confirm their coverage or manage their policies effectively.

My new car details aren't showing on the app, so I'm unsure if I'm insured.

3

App Functionality Errors

Approximately 10% of users encounter functionality errors, such as the app crashing or failing to load necessary documents, which hinders their ability to use the app for its intended purpose.

The app crashes every time I try to generate a quote, making it unusable.

4

Customer Support Frustrations

About 12% of users express dissatisfaction with customer support, citing long wait times and ineffective chatbot interactions, which fail to resolve their issues and lead to further frustration.

The chatbot couldn't help, and I never managed to speak to a human for support.

Major Highlights of the Week

Email Recognition Issue
The app fails to recognize email addresses linked to policies, causing login issues despite successful online access. This inconsistency in email validation disrupts user experience and access to policy information.
I receive emails from Direct Line but the app doesn't recognize my email, unlike the website.
Policy Sync Failure
Users experience outdated or missing policy information in the app, leading to confusion about current coverage. This lack of synchronization between the app and online systems undermines trust in the app's reliability.
The app shows an outdated car policy and not my current home insurance.
Multi-Policy Management

To add other policies, I have to sign out and back in with different emails.
Login and Activation Issues
Frequent login failures and activation issues, such as invalid codes and app crashes, prevent users from accessing their accounts. These technical barriers significantly degrade the user experience and app usability.
I can't log in as the app says the code sent to my email is invalid.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Despite offering the ability to add other policies, the only way to do this is to sign out and sign back in every time with a different email address for each policy. The app has clearly been designed for a single email but DL's inflexible systems won’t allow it.
Groovy fella
I can login via the website and get sent an authorisation code fine, but the app doesn’t generate the authorisation code and so I can’t log in. No option to use a password instead, which would be easier.
m_g
Whenever I try to activate my account, I get the email and a code to enter. When I select confirm, I get directed to a website that says I do not have an account and I’m unable to enter the code anywhere. I am directed to a chat bot but after lots of questions, I get to a point where I need to speak to someone but never managed to hold on long enough.
