Ratings and reviews

App and website are absolutely rubbish. Constantly met with bad gateway issues or can't login then finally login to then be met with multiple error messages, it's ridiculous. The app used to be so good I don't know what's happened over the last few months but it's stupid and very frustrating. Update as this was partly written in frustration. The issues mentioned are slightly better now. I'm not sure if this was caused by some technical issues but it was on both phone and website.

When it works, it's fine, but since the last update, you have to keep signing in. Great if you remember your password. When you don't it's difficult to reset the password as the link just takes you back to the previous page to resend a verification email. Providing you manage a successful login, you face delays with trying to first search for a product once completed then requesting a code/QR code.

This had been a really good app until the last update. Logging in is an hit and miss affair. I have to enter my log in details because I no longer have the ability to use biometrics. Then while it's trying to load, it freezes. If I exit the app and relaunch it, I'm logged in. Luckily I don't have this issue with the Defence discount service card, so that has become my go to card. I'm due to renew soon, but probably won't bother.
