Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The Metro Banking app has been the easiest to use of those I have tried, with a reasonable help system for when it isn’t obvious what to do. However, it sometimes becomes very unstable and has too many bugs. Stability is key for apps like this, and Metro’s app is sorely lacking in this regard.
Fire_Angel_London
App no longer works, keeps updating over and over. Even after reinstall, same thing. App is now useless. Please fix now.
Vince Esposito
Adding a new payee regularly doesn’t work. The app freezes when you try to input the code from the text.
