- [R6] Meritrust Business Mobile deposit: Mobile deposit won’t work. Can’t deposit my check.
- [R19] Meritrust Business Mobile Deposit Broken: Haven’t been able to deposit thru the app because the app says I need to rotate the image. Makes no sense needs fixed, hasn’t worked since I got the new iPhone 14 Pro. Fix your app with some of the money you are stealing from customers thru fees!
- [R61] HoneyBook Bugs: Fix the bugs yall. I’ve been using yall for 6 years and never had an issue this bad like shesh. I stopped paying 60 monthly because of it.
- [R67] HoneyBook The phone app: I was on the fence whether or not I was gonna renew this year. The convenient workflow and honestly, the templates for the contracts are really what made me conveniently stick around however, the amount of times I’ve gotten frustrated with the phone app because it either crashes or freezes. It’s really inconvenient. Me just going to my desktop instead of trying to quickly handle som
- [R35] Meritrust Business App: Love the app it’s quick to open and check on my accounts, easy to transfer money from 1 account to another 🙂
- [R18] Meritrust Business Slow but convenient: The app is slow most of the time even when I have wifi or full bars. But it is really convenient to deposit my pay checks via the photo since my job doesn't have direct deposit. Definitely faster than driving to the branch though
- [R70] HoneyBook Awful. Just use a different CRM. Honeybook is a waste of money.: They will not resolve issues for you. Ive been locked out of my account because my 2FA is not working and they can’t help me even download my contracts. All of this given they charge much higher than standard CRM/Invoicing platforms. If you don’t want your business to be in trouble SERIOUSLY AVOID them.
- [R106] HoneyBook App keeps crashing !: Literally was working fine and now I can’t create a new project without it crashing every 10 seconds
- [R14] Meritrust Business Mobile check deposit is working again! 🥳: UPDATE (Jan 2023): This issue has been fixed and is working great! ORIGINAL REVIEW (Nov 2022): The mobile check deposit feature works great on my iPad but has been broken on both my wife’s and my iPhone for several months. Regardless of the phone’s orientation, the mobile deposit feature thinks the phone is in portrait orientation and prompts me to rotate
- [R22] Meritrust Business Great in the past!: Most recent updates have left it impossible to deposit check on mobile app! Screen rotate is unlocked, app deleted and refreshed multiple times, still getting the rotate screen message.
- [R88] HoneyBook It’s Getting Worse: I used to LOVE this app. I would recommend it to all my business friends. Now, I don’t know what is going on. I keep having glitches, they charge a lot to process payments and it’s one problem after another when using the mobile app. I’ve literally lost money because of this app. Very discouraging.
- [R111] HoneyBook Slow, slow, and slow: I genuinely can’t understand how a company that just felt the need to dramatically increase their price is able to maintain their business with an app that is this slow and buggy. I need 10 seconds for the app to register anything I do. I have to wait another 10 seconds for it to update and then provide me with another view of my dashboard and then another 10 seconds to actua
- [R20] Meritrust Business Meritrust is great!: Thank you for the great app!
- [R57] Meritrust Business Best bank in Kansas: No mysterious (maintenance) fees, card holds are taken care of quickly so you know what your bottom dollar is regularly, you can make cash deposits with their eATMs, you can make a withdraw at their eATMs for any amount in dollars, you don’t have to change your password all the time like I have to at my secondary bank which shall remain nameless and you can replace your stolen
- [R71] HoneyBook Overall good, but expensive fees: Overall very useful, but transaction fees on top of the monthly fee adds up.
- [R81] HoneyBook it gets the job done!: I like HoneyBook however I don’t like the hidden fees for when they deposit money into the account. I do wish that the platform was completely transparent with all fees, especially being that the monthly is over $30 and in some cases 50 bucks. Other than that it’s a easy way to streamline Customer service in a client process, but those fees get on my nerves. also, I would lo
- [R29] Meritrust Business Service: I love Meritrust and their great customer service and all the services offered. Old school customer service the way it should be.. Thanks Meritrust!!
- [R32] Meritrust Business Service Given: I would like to truly thank Charlene of the Meritrust CU Lawrence, Ks location. Charlene has not stopped checking on me inquiring of any help possible Meritrust CU can offer. Charlene has reached out to college Ashley in the Credit repair assistant department of the Meritrust CU Wichita, Ks location. Ashley called and suggested setting up a phone consultation for steps to the path o
- [R85] HoneyBook Customer service awful: No phone call help and tech support is awful!!
- [R97] HoneyBook Clunky: I want to like this more but it’s clunky af. The app takes too long to load the intro screen, then more time to go from menu to menu. It’s 2026- nobody has time to sit around waiting for loading pages in a CRM/invoicing app I’m now looking at pixieset.
