Ratings and reviews

It's ridiculous how poorly this app works. It won't work with my mobile phone (Android 10), but only my tablet. It constantly lies and tells me there's no connectivity. Presumably it means the UBS servers are completely unstable; my internet isn't down. When it fails, it just says "Error" with no error code or other info useful in troubleshooting. Oh, and the UI is clean and lovely. But who cares when the app itself is such garbage!?

I have accounts with several banks, and UBS has, by FAR, the least intuitive UI I've ever encountered. Simple things like setting up automatic payments to credit cards is, AFAICT, impossible. Menus are hidden. It's so much of a nightmare that I am switching to Post Finance for a better e-banking experience.

It works as it should except the setup process. Not able to paste e.g. contract numbers, only type them in manually is a pain in the neck. We store 100+ records in a password manager and C&P is just convenient. Starting the whole setup again just bc you missed one number switching between screens is not exactly user friendly.

What's new

Small improvements and bug fixes. Your digital security is very important to us. Therefore, we will soon only support Android versions 10 and above.
