Not the easiest to navigate. Doesn't have any option to show spending/budgets etc. Also cant figure out how to transfer from savings to current account. Perhaps wouldn't have switched banks if I'd have know this. I have tried clicking the 3 dots and the only options are 'transactions or 'statements'

I love the app and use it for most of our banking but having persuaded my husband to get it too, I cannot believe that he has had to wait a week to get a verification code by post - for an app! Apparently it's because when he rang up for a code, they went through his details and because his email address had changed they couldn't text him a code to his phone. He has the same phone number and address as when we opened our joint account nearly 30 years ago! This is insanely frustrating!

I have had endless problems with this app, it constantly slows down and becomes unresponsive before freezing entirely and needing to be shut down. It's now at the point where I'm thinking of changing banks as the online banking option that first direct used to do so well has become unfit for purpose. My advice would be to AVOID this product.

Great App, better than many banking apps. Only issue is future payments - cannot see payments that I've made for future dates, so sometimes forget that I've made one and do another, so pay twice. Would be great to see, and be able to amend, payments that I have initiated in the future.

Credit card payment
Had to pay my husband's credit card bill as his payment failed for some unknown reason!
