Ratings and reviews

I had a hard time enrolling after installing the app. I contacted Card Valet support and it's been 2 weeks without hearing back. I finally was able to get it set up and I can see my card transactions. However, notifications don't work. I have it set up to notify me for everything transaction, but I have never gotten a single notification. Overall, a disappointment.

The user interface desperately needs to be improved. Some controls are confusingly implemented. For instance, it is unclear what area is set as an approved area when geofencing. I really hate that there is not an option to keep the app signed in and that a password must be entered each time the app is opened. Overall, this is a useful tool that is hindered by poor app design.

The new interface is a downgrade, you can no longer see the balance on the card, only the transactions. It was preferable to my banks app because it was much more reliable and fast when checking balances, now the whole interface just feels unnecessarily limiting and clunky. Edit: I have found it and I thank you for the response, but either way it's been made unnecessarily clunky and has unneeded navigation to find the thing myself and probably many others use this for.

What's new

Minor bug fixes and securities enhancement.
