The app feels like it's in beta. Each screen loads slowly, shows the name of the screen on the bottom for some reason, and there isn't much of a flow across different features. The purchase notifications are unusable, as the options are declined, all, or none (app only). All sure does get all the notifications. Every notification is a push notification AND an email, and you get a notification at the time of purchase AND when they post later that night (Job seems to run around 10pm Central).

The Barclays app used to be good, but not anymore. Whoever messed around with it should be fired. Some screens can easily be read. Other pages the font size is way too big and you don't know who the charge is from. The scrolling feature doesn't work properly to view charges. I'd be better off getting paper statements in the mail again! You also can't redeem points on the app. You can only do so on the actual website. What a waste of an app. ...and yes, I do have Android 12 already on my phone!!

Hi. The Barclays app now requires the Android 12 operating system or above. Please go to Settings on your device to confirm what version OS you are running, and update it to at least version 12. If your device cannot be updated to OS version 12, you can log in to BarclaysUS.com to manage your account. Thank you, Renlyn.

Had to switch to Barclays, since the GM card was sold to them. You can't set up text alerts, when you make a purchase. I spent an hour on chat, then calls, just to be told this function isn't available yet, but it's "coming soon" (maybe two months). Also, I have a red dot, like a notification, on "Credit Card", that won't go away. Barclays response is below my review. The issue...I don't get EMAIL notifications, or else my phone would ding all day! Of course, NO response about the red dot.

Hi, Susan. Notifications for single transaction on the account will only be sent to the email address associated with your account. At this time, there is no option for receiving transaction notifications via text message. If a transaction is identified as fraudulent, you will receive a notification via text message. Thanks, Reymond.
