Login & Authentication negative
Users frequently experience issues logging in, including being automatically logged out, receiving 'session expired' errors, or having their accounts locked. Face ID often fails, and some report difficulty receiving verification codes.R19R79R110R126

Mobile Deposit Issues negative

Customer Service & In-Branch Experience positive
In stark contrast to the app's performance, many reviewers consistently praise the bank's in-person customer service, describing staff as friendly, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. The convenience of Walmart locations and extended hours is also highly valued.R3R4R9R10
Outdated Interface & Limited Functionality negative

Who it's for

This app is for users who prioritize excellent in-person customer service and convenient physical branch locations, especially those inside Walmart, and are willing to tolerate a mobile app with significant technical issues and a lack of modern features R4R33. It is not for users who rely heavily on a stable, feature-rich mobile banking app for daily transactions, instant money transfers, or reliable mobile deposits R6R126.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative regarding the app's functionality, contradicting the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews focus on the in-person banking experience rather than the app itself. The developer's notes mention 'minor enhancements and bug fixes,' but recent reviews indicate ongoing and severe bugs, particularly with app loading and login, suggesting these issues have not been adequately addressed.

  5. [R4] 5/5 · US The Best: I've been using Woodforest mobile banking for nearly 10 years, and they've never disappointed me. They always cash my checks, even large ones, and they’re convenient because they’re located in Walmart, which helps since they stay open longer and on days when other banks are closed. The only downside is that I can’t make deposits at outside ATMs, and they have limited ATM availability. As
  6. [R33] 5/5 · US Woodforest Bank gets five stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: I absolutely love this bank. Having a branch conveniently located inside Walmart makes banking incredibly easy, and their extended hours are a game changer. They’re open six days a week and until 7 PM most days, which is perfect for people with busy schedules. The staff is always knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help. Customer service is cons

  11. [R42] 5/5 · US Transactions: When transferring money with the Woodforest app. It is very convenient and the bank protects your accounts to prevent any fraudulent activities in between those times. It’s a great secured banking app. that I’d recommend to everyone.
  12. [R49] 5/5 · US My Accounts: The banks does a great job in alerting me about transactions that seems suspicious. It gives seniors and others great banking access. They give services that other banks don’t have. Offer other services to their customers.

  19. [R104] 1/5 · US Needs improvement: Won’t load. Constantly fighting to login

  23. [R61] 4/5 · US Transferencia: Me encantaría que tuviera la facilidad de transferir a otros bancos utilizando Zelle o algo similar, eso me facilitaría un poco más la forma de pagos que tengo
  24. [R158] 3/5 · US Deposits: Wish we had Zelle or Cash App capabilities
  25. [R1] 2/5 · US Antiqued mobile banking: Moved to Pa from Fla. Intended to move all my accounts to Woodforest but the service is poor and the online banking is worse. Deposit checks that I could walk to the financial institution faster than it takes to clear. Called home office. Nothing done except that Julie Hunt would call within 48 hours. Ten days later. Nothing. I was humiliated at the teller window when aske
  26. [R28] 1/5 · US Deposit and Mobile Deposit: First check I tried to do a mobile deposit and they made me go in to deposit the check. Second check I took it in and they refused to deposit. They told me to go to the bank that printed the check and bring cash to deposit. What is even the point?!
  27. [R142] 1/5 · US One of the worst apps and banks.: Every single time you open this app there is ma error of some kind and you have to close and restart it. You cannot change anything that you would actually want to change, like email or personal details. If you want to do anything you always have to call them and that’s a nightmare. This is just a balance viewer app. It offers no features and is pretty much worthl
  28. [R147] 2/5 · US Low quality: Outdated
  29. [R7] 4/5 · US Sending money: This option is so slow and convoluted.
  30. [R41] 1/5 · US Money transfer didn’t work: I initiated some money tranfer from the app ‘Send’ option using a contact information. Next day someone from Woodforest called me to confirm about the transaction. But few days later I saw that the money acctually did not transfered! Woodforest App should be able to handle a simple money transfer just like any other bank does. Disappointed!!
  31. [R155] 1/5 · US Money Transfer: I’ve been banking with Woodforest Bank for over 20 years. Just recently I found out that I can’t link another bank with my Woodforest account to transfer money. I’m very disappointed and it looks like I will probably have to find a new bank.
  32. [R178] 1/5 · US Transfer option unavailable: It’s hard to navigate this app for instance where is the option to transfer money to a different bank account?
  33. [R60] 1/5 · US I wouldn’t bank with them !!: Customer service is horrible, they don’t care about there customers.
  34. [R126] 1/5 · US If you have a choice, skip it: This is the absolute worst banking app in history. At least once every other month, it's glitching or completely down. It erases the biometric data & switches to login required, repeatedly gives a time out error, frequently locks you out after requiring you to repeatedly attempt to login, etc. Calling customer service is an abismal experience & they only have banking
  35. [R39] 2/5 · US Overdraft: Most banks give a 24-hour grace period, but this bank charges the fee immediately after the overdraft, even if it's just $1.
  36. [R40] 2/5 · US Trying to get out!: This bank charges heavy overdrafts and worst this bank waits a long time to give you auto pay. Its not even a day early its at last legal moment. Ive been here over ten years. Im out.
  37. [R151] 1/5 · US Horrible Bank and App!!!: This bank accepted a mobile deposit, put the money in my account, then once I paid my bills, they pulled the money back out and and put the check on a hold. The lady I spoke with told me not to worry the money would be back in the next day. The next day came around and no money. When I called back they said it would be 7 days. That might be ok for them, but that left me w
  38. [R80] 1/5 · US App access: iPhone was just updated, don’t understand why the Woodforest app needs access to my photos to do a mobile deposit, should only need access to my camera, never needed it before
  39. [R159] 1/5 · US Latest version is unusable for the visually impaired: After this latest version was installed, the menu option for selecting activity is now nowhere to be found, and when I somehow stumble to open it with voiceover, turned off and select an option such as transfer, I now get an ad with no way to get past it, and therefore cannot do any work with my accounts or information.
  40. [R89] 1/5 · US It sucks: Stupid app was down for two days can’t get it to load half the time, especially when I need it
  41. [R19] 1/5 · US Deposits: I have a phone number that is in my account. I can’t get codes to it. This isn’t the first time . It seems to be a problem with you
