Overall, fine, but the gripes are really glaring. The biggest issue that I've had - which I've not experienced on any other banking app - is that you can't leave the app to do anything without it kicking you out. Worst example: attempting to make a payment to a Barclaycard with a debit card from another bank. Part of the payment process *requires* me to open the second bank's app to approve the payment, but doing so kills the Barclays app and cancels the payment request.

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry you’ve experienced this when trying to authorise a payment. You can adjust how long the Barclays app stays logged in for by using App log-out time in the app settings. Increasing this may help when you need to temporarily leave the app during a payment journey. We hope this helps make things smoother -Kate

I used the app regularly to see what my balance was on the same day for the previous month to see if it was up or down, to manage my account, this has been removed and replaced with what I've spent on the day which is no good to me. I'd really like my account balance back throughout the month. Also the transaction sizes are about 2cm each, so it takes up a lot of screen, it was better more compact. Other additions to the app are good.

Thank you for your feedback. We've recently introduced Balance After Transaction, allowing you to view your account balance immediately after a transaction by selecting it. We know there is still more we can do to make viewing historical balances easier, and we're continuing to explore improvements in this area. We appreciate your feedback. -Kate

Have used the Barclays app for many years. I was one of the first people to use mobile app banking amongst all of my friends and family. I helped them set theirs up etc. The ui is simple and effective. It's relatively simple to find what you want to do.The only bad thing about the app is that there is no spell check option. My S&G are terrible, so I'm constantly making mistakes. Apart from that, my accounts always seem to be low on funds, if Barclays could kindly fix that, that would be great 😂
