Ratings and reviews

Great people, Carbon! App could be better tho. This version is quirky. I still get prompted to activate biometric authentication, almost each time I log in despite having already set it up. Also, sometimes get the sign on screen displayed when I open the app and I have to enter phone number and the pin, instead of just simply prompt for pin. Kindly fix.

The new update to your looks good except for the continuous prompt to set up biometric login. I don't need biometric login as I don't fancy it for financial apps. Why do I keep getting the prompt to do so at every login to transact. It makes no sense. Please rectify this in your next update. It shouldn't be a compulsory thing to set up biometric login. otherwise, there will be no peace for the user until it is done.

I think it's a great platform. I've used it to meet immediate needs and they've come through with decent interest rates... But can you please update the dated UI to be consistent with or better than the ios app. The experience would be a lot better for me at least. It can be hard to distinguish categories and pick certain services when everything sorta looks alike. And yeah I know your engineering team is on top of it but the occasional lag and delayed response time is becoming a bit frequent
