Ratings and reviews

I've subscribed to the email service to receive my balance every week. Every week I receive 3 duplicate emails, 2 of which are for cards that have expired and no longer exist. I've contacted the help desk with 40+ emails back and forth and no one can solve my problem. They're all giving me the same solution which does not work, which I've told them numerous times. Face recognition login is awful, let's hope I don't need eye surgery where my face will not be available for login.

Needs a lot of improvement It happens very often that the access to my app is blocked. Then I have to write an email providing bunch of details every time. It takes at least 2-3 days to resolve. There are no notifications when you make any transactions. So if you cannot access your app, you don't have a way to know your balance. Also, there's an error when the time zones between the app and the authenticator are not aligned, but you only get message SOMETHING WENT WRONG.

There is something wrong with the new update of the app, I updated and my phone went in a loop of crashing I spent 3 hours trying to figure out the problem I had no choice to factory reset my phone, in the process of reinstalling apps once I got to brightwell the same thing happened again I uninstalled brightwell andy phone went back to normal, I installed again and it was stuck in a loop, now I lost all my data because of a glitched app. Please review your update.
