No dark mode, need WAY too much info about my income and where it comes from. The first transfer in it takes £2.50 without any confirmation or way to return it and close the account..the features £2.50 you get free elsewhere.. Nearly everything you do with this card will charge you without being upfront about the charge you're about to incur, I imagine they've swindled a lot of money this way. There are 68, yes 68! Different types of limit for you to keep track of?! Headache. Reported to FCA.

!!!!! STOP & READ!!!! Long story short I made an account because I needed to transfer money to a friend and it was convenient at the time , all the banks are closed and I could use paypoint to deposit money all well and good . Well that's what I thought after a while I started to trust this app so I deposit some money ( and it really really wasn't much ) all's fine until I try to draw it out the next day then they say I've been suspended and I can't access my money stay clear !!!!

Very nice app. One request: On right side of password box please separate the eye from the X button. They are too close to each other. Very annoying sometimes as you can end up tapping the wrong button. People with bigger fingers need to be considered in the app development.
