Ratings and reviews

Overall - it's great. Love the ease and simple layout. Much better than the computer web combo. I do have a suggestion for the Bill Pay tab. If you are going to have a "Search" bar, have the entered data connect to the Bill Payee name as it is being typed in. I just typed in a payee name and I still had to scroll through the entire list to find it. The search bar is of no use whatever.

Recently the app started popping up and error "Unauthorized network location". It seems to be doing this because I use a (device-local) VPN for ad blocking. Disabling this VPN is the only way to remove the error. This is ridiculous. It bans connections purely based on the fact that a VPN is in use. My VPN is used to make my connection MORE secure by ensuring that unwanted advertiser content does not load on my device! Please consider removing this misfeature. Edit: the app is still doing this.

Really not great, though I have only one major complaint, and that is that the app isn't at all conducive to good password practices. At present my password is... long, randomized, unique, and encrypted as a local file with another distinctive long password I can actually remember. Its my bank account after all. The problem is that the app won't let me past my 20+ character password into the app, which would actually be longer, we're i not required to manually type it in. what favor do you think you're doing me by protecting me from my own good practices? I would much prefer an app that doesnt discourage strong password usage, which should if anything be this particular apps particular emphasis.
