Shockingly bad! I'm always having to kill this app before it lets me even attempt to log in. "Re-installation required" (not true). "Technical problem". "We'll need to take you to the website to do that". "Sorry, there's a problem with our system". "Loading..." "We're sorry..." Stuck "Restarting..." Killing the app always resolves it. Bizarre. Maybe it should just properly reset and try again before giving up? Also, what's the point of e-letters if you take days to actually show them and email?

Reading the reviews, looks like lots of people are experiencing the same problem. It used to be great, but in the last couple of months (since the December update?) has slowed down to the point of being unusable, and has now started crashing. All I can do really is login to check my account balances, but I've given up using the app to actually do any banking. I've thought of deleting and re-installing, but seems this makes things worse, so won't be taking the risk of losing all access.

Poor experience overall. App offers nothing new except removing the card reader. Sometimes the app doesn't allow me to tap into my own accounts so I cannot see any transfers in or out. Still cannot see upcoming direct debits. No add to Google Pay option via the app. No dark mode. No ability to change text size - why so big? Payment information is confusing especially when from another nationwide account. It only gives account number and sort code, not the name.
