Ratings and reviews

Tried this app on 3 different devices and it hasn't worked, yep that's over 3 years. The app usually crashes and is basically useless, it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. What's annoying is that it's supposed to save time but you eventually have to give up and go to the branch, where you might wait another hour and a half (unplanned for) just to be assisted

Update 5: Lotto work around - download Fake GPS app, set to Joburg, try again. I use this till SB fixes their app. To SB: don't bother responding, you don't bother responding to our emails anyway. Original: Lotto option still not working despite being on the latest version and with location permissions enabled. They copy and paste the same "download latest version and enable location" excuse despite it not working. The app is the problem.

App was working fine until one afternoon where I get an error message saying"The service is currently unavailable,please try again later while we investigate" and ive tried everything from uninstalling, reinstalling,flight mode connecting via wifi I put my data on and off and after numerous attempts to get a hold of standardbank waiting on hold with elevator music in my ears still nothing,no solutions have been found and its been days now im genuinely highly disappointed.
