Recurring themes

Security & Access Issues negative
Many users report frequent account lockouts, requiring constant password resets and multiple validation steps, which they find frustrating and excessive. The app's security measures are perceived as burdensome rather than helpful, often preventing access to accounts. Some users also report issues with authentication codes not working.R1R22R89R117
Outdated & Limited Features negative
Reviewers consistently describe the app as 'outdated' and 'archaic' compared to other banking apps, lacking modern design and essential functionalities. Specific complaints include the inability to view e-statements, transfer to external banks, deposit checks via mobile, or access detailed loan information directly within the app. The app often forces users to switch to the desktop version for certain tasks.R1R3R21R29
Performance & Stability negative
Users report issues with the app's speed, including slow loading times for transactions and general unresponsiveness. Some experience the app freezing or crashing, making it difficult to perform even basic tasks.R2R36R57R96
Basic Functionality & Convenience positive
Despite the issues, many users find the app useful for essential banking activities. They appreciate being able to monitor accounts, pay bills, and perform transfers without visiting a physical branch, highlighting its convenience and time-saving aspects for these core functions.R4R5R6R7

Who it's for

This app is for users who primarily need to perform basic banking tasks such as checking balances, monitoring transactions, and paying bills, and who are willing to tolerate an outdated interface and frequent login challenges R6R7R10R15. It is not ideal for users who expect modern banking features like easy external transfers, mobile check deposits, or a seamless, secure login experience R1R3R22R60.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a strong negative sentiment regarding security, outdated features, and performance, despite the high lifetime rating. The developer's notes mention 'general security improvements,' but recent reviews contradict this, with many users still reporting excessive verification steps and account lockouts R1R22R89R117. The positive reviews tend to be shorter and less detailed, often simply stating 'good service' or 'easy to use' for basic functions.

  11. [R1] 1/5 · US This seems deliberate. There's no explanation for this.: This is one of the most frustrating banking apps I have ever used. It is simply not user-friendly. Accessing bank statements is far more complicated than it should be. The app often forces you to switch to the desktop version, log in again, and once you finally open your statement, you can’t even go back without being logged out all over ag
  12. [R22] 1/5 · US Excessive verification steps: Excessive verification steps. When you want to restore your password then you have to get another link to the same email, number. Excesive.
  13. [R89] 1/5 · US Horrible: Peor banco que existe, la aplicación es tan mala que te sigue bloqueando. Te siguen pidiendo contraseña nueva porque según la app esa no es la contraseña, luego la pones como contraseña nueva y te indican que no puedes restablecer tu contraseña con tu antigua contraseña. Demasiado de muchos glitch. Por tal razón sigo con mi cuenta de USA. Triste
  14. [R117] 2/5 · US Keeps Locking Me Out: This is mostly an issue as I have the bank linked to another app in order to track my expenses. However, out of all my financial accounts, this bank is the only one that consistently has issues with being linked to this app and keeps locking me out and making me change my password. I understand the security concerns but I used to have it linked to a similar app years ago and
  15. [R21] 2/5 · US Outdated: La aplicación se siente un poco "Outdated". Por ejemplo cuando vas a darle Sign In desde algún link que te lleva directo a BPPR
  16. [R39] 2/5 · US Hace falta la actualización del nuevo iOS 26: Hace falta Liquid Glass en la app no está también actualizada hace falta un mejor diseño en la app como de transacciones y balances
  17. [R60] 3/5 · US Falta mejorar y agregar funciones: Comparada con otras apps de banco como BBVA, tiene muchas cosas que mejorar y agregar. Experiencia de pago de tarjetas de crédito sin salirte a versión desktop, mejora de autenticacion, descripción en transferencias, apartados virtuales dentro de cada cuenta, etc
  18. [R76] 1/5 · US Terrible bank: Terrible bank they are 20 years behind
  19. [R3] 1/5 · US Transfers from other banks: The Bill Pay is PATHETIC compared to other banks. One has to go to a branch to add an account from an external bank. WTF! Are we in the 1800’s? This company keeps Puerto Ricans from advancing in banking technology with their monopoly. Terrible.
  20. [R59] 1/5 · US Burdensome Process for Transfers to accounts in other Banks: Hidden process to perform transfers to accounts in other banks
  21. [R2] 3/5 · US Transaction posting: Posting always lags. Cc payments for x deposits
  22. [R36] 5/5 · US Saludos, me percaté está muy lento dependiendo del lugar en donde estes ubicado en Puerto Rico.: Gracias
  23. [R144] 1/5 · US Demasiada lenta: Últimamente se tarda una eternidad en cargar las transacciones, es frustrante.
  24. [R154] 2/5 · US Inicio de sesión: Muchas de las veces que quiero iniciar sesión en la app desde mi celular se tarda o nunca entra de primera y tengo que intentarlo varias veces.
  25. [R186] 3/5 · US I can’t find information about how to transfer money directly from another bank to mi banco.: Good but incomplete
  26. [R246] 1/5 · US Limited App: App has been very limited for years. No external account transfers (ACH), no online dispute (non-fraud) for debit cards. PDF statements can only be seen from the website. A lot of work needs to be done, but I highly doubt Banco Popular will do something about it. Banco Popular is the biggest bank in PR, so they’re very complacent about it.
  27. [R86] 1/5 · US En dudas: Esto solo me permite ver mi estado de cuenta no me da la opción de hacer depósitos de cheques por el móvil tengo que ir a la sucursal y eso era algo que me quería evitar por eso cerró estrellas
  28. [R96] 2/5 · US Totally unreliable: This app needs a lot of work. Specially the ATH section, usually it does not work.
  29. [R111] 1/5 · US Not reliable app: Unable to see transaction history
  30. [R153] 3/5 · US Widget not found: Overall good but no iPhone widget to instant access to balances.
  31. [R29] 5/5 · US Mi banco: Es una aplicación muy completa! Debe mejorar en poder abrir el área de préstamo, que solo muestra la cantidad inicial. Otras aplicaciones de otros banco lo permiten. Además hacer transferencias entre bancos
  32. [R57] 1/5 · US Infinite crashing: esta app no sirve ni para chequear el balance, facilmente la aplicacion mas basura de todo Puerto Rico me cago en sus madres
  33. [R4] 5/5 · US Luz: Buen servicio
  34. [R5] 5/5 · US Excelente servicio e: Éxito buen servicio
  35. [R160] 3/5 · US E-statements: No se pueden ver los e-statements desde la aplicación. Únicamente desde la versión desktop.
  36. [R193] 1/5 · US Estados de cuenta y chks: Debe permitir bajar los estados de cuenta PDF y ver las copias de los chks depositados.
  37. [R147] 1/5 · US Deposito facil: No me funciona el deposito facil
