Ratings and reviews

Have to wonder if they ever test this app or use it themselves. Bug after bug after bug. Almost never opens successfully on the first try, usually crashes at least once if not multiple times in a row on opening. Cheques won't be recognized at least half the time. Theoretical it's handy that it notifies me if an expense seems unusual, but the only option is to lock the card, even if I did authorize the purchase...if I try to dismiss the warning, it just pops up again and again, making it useless.

There's some things missing, which then makes you need to use the browser, but sometimes you have to use the browser on your computer as some things can't be seen on the mobile version of the website. Scotiabank is a decent bank, but the accessibility isnt the greatest, and even some times you need to go to a terminal, then bankteller, then call the back of the card, oops, wrong card, oh? you havent stayed in the same place for 3 mo+ looks like we cant help you. Just too much hassle sometimes.

This app continues to frustrate and annoy me. The number of glitches that have panicked or caused me actual problems is unacceptable. Plus the two step verification causes me to panic when I'm trying to do something quickly. At least give options instead of just waiting for a slow as heck text to come in with a code. This app alone has me looking at other banks as bank personal can't help with in app problems. Fix your app scotia
