  1. [R6] United Community Mobile 3/5 · US Review / transfer Capabilities: Love your app. It’s user-friendly. The only negative is when you did away with transferring money from one bank to another, and went to Zelle. Not as good. Wish you’d go back to the way it was.
  2. [R9] United Community Mobile 3/5 · US Basic functions OK: It works to check balances and recent transactions. Zelle feature refuses to work, and the call center politely stonewalls when I call them to resolve it. The app itself drains the battery unusually fast.

  10. [R3] United Community Mobile 3/5 · US App is OK: Works pretty well most of the time. Intermittent issues seem to come at inconvenient times. A first world problem. Glad we have the APP.
  11. [R10] United Community Mobile 1/5 · US Thoughts on the new layout: It loads far too slowly. Compared to the original layout, it loads so slow that even after a minute in strong signal it doesn’t fully load. Why change something that was working well enough for over a decade?

  17. [R67] Ultra Mobile 1/5 · US The service is good! The app is terrible: I always have to log in , it tells me I’m wrong when I’m not, i close the app, I log in, repeat a time or two, open the app, I’m logged in. Even though i put my Face ID in every time, that also doesn’t work, and now I’m logged out for trying too many attempts on my first attempt in months (my bill is automatic because of this) I can’t use the app. I have
  18. [R79] Ultra Mobile 1/5 · US This App is Horrible: I would give this app zero stars if I could. Every time I have an upcoming payment due, there is always an error trying to log into my account on this app. Everytime I need to log in I’d have to uninstall and reinstall the app which is so frustrating and annoying. Not to mention Ultra gives you the most difficult time to get in touch with customer service or support. Please
