Ratings and reviews

There are too many bugs in the latest update. After upgrading to version 11.5, I started getting a security check failed error on my device. I updated my OS and the issues persists! So I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and now it is just not opening! I can't believe that a reputable bank will produce apps like this! I'm using as a small account for my UPI usage. I think better to create another savings account in some other bank and use payments app like gpay!

There are too many bugs in the latest update. After upgrading to version 11.5, I started getting a security check failed error on my device. I contacted customer care, and they said many users have been facing this issue for the past few weeks, and the backend team is working on it. Honestly, it’s hard to believe that ICICI Bank’s IT team released such a buggy version and hasn’t rolled it back. Keeping a major issue like this in production for nearly a month is really disappointing.

App fails to open up with error message, that "app is failing to open due to bugs. please try after developer provides fixes for the bugs". Iam on the latest android OS...tried uninstall and install of the app, still the same... Even cleared cache and tried, all in vain...Seriously !?! Dev folks please find the causes and fix them soon ...
