Ratings and reviews

not english friendly at all, for some reason in this day and age a banking app still forgets that they are not the language in the world. it says they have an english option which translates roughly 3% of the app and none of it usefull.

App has been fixed as far as crashing is concerned but now the language is 100% Japanese. I can muddle my way through trying to use it, but it was much easier when it would use the English from my phone's OS. Would be good if they allowed a switching option to change the language quickly and easily (and correctly without loosing functionality). Doubt that's going to happen any time soon though.

Very good. Would like more translation however
