  1. [R1] Maine State Credit Union 1/5 · US Was great, now is terrible: They always update their app, and every time it’s harder to use, navigate and even sign in. I’m forced to change passwords because they insist I do because they want to update and make the app worse. I’m asked to confirm my account every other time I try to sign in. Literally every update makes me want to change banks. So many hoops to jump through just to see my accoun
  2. [R2] Maine State Credit Union 5/5 · US All you need.: All my accounts are easy to get around too. Transfers are simple. Interface is easy to learn. Perfect banking app.
  3. [R4] Maine State Credit Union 2/5 · US Maine Credit Union: Constant updates and I am always resetting my password. I’m not really convinced that the app is worth having. I have no trouble with the Credit Union, itself.
  4. [R9] Maine State Credit Union 2/5 · US Fine, not a great as it could be: Okay app, I can see my balances and transactions. However, I have multiple club accounts set up but none of the names show so that I can make transfers to/from specific accounts. Because of this I usually have to go on my web browser to their online banking, which is annoying.
  5. [R6] Maine State Credit Union 3/5 · US Temperamental: This app is temperamental. Sometimes it works well and other times I need to use the web to log in. The mobile deposit feature isn’t consistent either.
  6. [R7] Maine State Credit Union 1/5 · US Locked out.: Whenever I try to login to my account it says I’m locked out so I follow the steps to unlock it and it allows me to access my account online but I’m still locked out on the app.
  7. [R11] Maine State Credit Union 1/5 · US Can't see my balance anymore: I like the new update except for one huge issue, the account balance isn't there. Please fix!
  8. [R12] Maine State Credit Union 5/5 · US All my banking need in one place: This is the easiest and most user friendly banking app I have ever used. The ability to complete transfers, deposits, and even open accounts has made my life incredibly easy.

  12. [R35] CommunityAmerica Credit Union 3/5 · US App closes out after putting in password: Have to have this app because it's my bank but it's very frustrating that my app closes every single time I put in my password and enter, just immediately kicks me out of the app. It's a fine app besides this bug.
