Who it's for

This app is for existing Wells Fargo customers who value a generally easy-to-use mobile banking experience for routine tasks like checking balances and making transfers R74. It might be less suitable for users who prioritize strong privacy controls, require high Zelle transfer limits, or frequently need responsive customer support for complex issues R31R199R77.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, with many 1-star ratings, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime 4.85 rating. The positive points are well-supported by numerous 5-star reviews, often in Spanish, praising the bank and app generally. The negative points, however, are detailed and specific, indicating a recent decline in user satisfaction, particularly concerning fees and app functionality after updates. The developer notes mention new features but do not address the reported issues like technical glitches or removed AI functionality, which contradicts recent user experiences.

What are you doing?

  22. [R183] 2/5 · US Why would you remove AI Functionality?: You took 1000 steps backwards with your AI insights in this latest update! You can’t even ask it natural language questions. Simple things like what are my upcoming payments and it says it can’t understand you. The insights that used to be there were fantastic. You’d swipe through and get a summary of your spending, recurring payments/subscriptions, upcoming
  23. [R201] 2/5 · US UI Update: The new update with the collapsible cash and credit accounts is inefficient. Prior I could see all of my accounts in one glance. Now I have to tap multiple times and scroll around. Please go back.
