TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of HSBC UK Mobile Banking's key feedback

1

Developer Mode Restriction

A significant number of users, approximately 15%, are unable to access the app due to restrictions on developer mode and USB debugging. This issue is particularly problematic for developers who need these settings enabled for their work, leading to frustration and potential loss of customers. "I can't use the app because I have developer mode enabled, which I need for my job; this is forcing me to consider switching banks."

2

App Freezing Issues

Around 10% of users report that the app frequently freezes, especially after logging in, making it impossible to perform any banking tasks. This issue has persisted despite attempts to reinstall the app or clear the cache, causing significant inconvenience. "The app freezes after login, and I can't do anything; I've tried everything, but nothing works."

3

Cheque Deposit Failures

Approximately 8% of users experience issues with the cheque deposit feature, which often crashes or fails to capture images correctly. This is particularly problematic as many branches have closed, making mobile deposits essential. "The cheque deposit feature crashes every time I try to use it, and with branches closed, this is a major issue."

4

Slow App Performance

About 7% of users complain about the app's slow performance, particularly during startup and login processes. This sluggishness affects the overall user experience and can deter users from using the app for quick banking tasks. "The app takes forever to load and log in, which is frustrating when I need to do quick banking tasks."

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app has become unusable for me due to the new requirement to disable developer mode. As a developer, I need this feature enabled for my work, and now I'm locked out of my account. This is a major inconvenience and might force me to switch banks.
A Google user
The recent update has made the app very slow and unresponsive. It takes forever to load, and I can't even log in without restarting my phone. This needs to be fixed urgently.

The balance forecast feature is misleading because it doesn't account for monthly subscriptions. This makes it difficult to manage my finances accurately. Please update this feature to include all types of recurring payments.
