  1. [R1] CentralMOBILE 2/5 · US Not working often: Too many times this app is not working or temporarily out of service
  2. [R4] CentralMOBILE 1/5 · US App login terrible: Logging into the app is horrible consistently won’t login saying sorry for the inconvenience. Then I go to the website and login without issue, back to the app no can do. I’ve reset my password multiple times for no reason because the app won’t let me login. This app is trash better off just saving the website in your browser and accessing that way.

  4. [R10] CentralMOBILE 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: They need to invest in updating their system. This app just closes immediately when I try and open it. I’ve deleted and reinstalled, updated. Still just closes and I have a newer phone.
  5. [R3] CentralMOBILE 3/5 · US App not signing in: This app is overall really good and I like central bank. The app will not log me in about 1/3 of the time.

  12. [R13] CentralMOBILE 2/5 · US Awful user experience: The app is awful. It’s down/offline more than it’s up, then exits out abruptly and is very sluggish. I end up using the website more often which isn’t convenient.
  13. [R18] CentralMOBILE 5/5 · US not capable with IOS 16: I love this app but it is not allowing me to get on the app ever since I updated to IOS 16. It just closes out.

  16. [R17] CentralMOBILE 2/5 · US Scheduled maintenance: This app would be great if an alert was sent out scheduling maintenance or down time. I’ve tried to login twice and now my account is locked and I get to call to talk to customer support! Awesome! This happens once every 2 months and absolutely drives me up a wall. Fix the app
  17. [R20] CentralMOBILE 5/5 · US Tiffany: I love Central Bank. I have banked with them for 3 1/2 years since we moved. Two of my teens have student accounts and have done great saving money. Everyone is helpful and kind with transactions, questions and service.
  18. [R31] CentralMOBILE 1/5 · US This app need to be updated why can’t you send out an update: This app needs a update it does not work with my iPhone. no problem before new update came out now it is junk
  19. [R61] Wescom Financial Mobile 1/5 · US Zelle needs to be updated on the application: Had an embarrassing interaction with someone with QR code at a chocolate sale. The camera to scan the QR code is not present in the Zelle portion of the Wescom app. Had to run to an ATM at a CVS to get money and the fee. This makes me want to dump Wescom Financial for not having an up to date app.
  20. [R70] Wescom Financial Mobile 1/5 · US ZELLE DOES NOT WORK: tried to use new app and Zelle will not load after confirming contact information. Screen just stays black 😒
  21. [R77] Wescom Financial Mobile 4/5 · US i love this app, but…: is there any way to report a bug report besides leaving a review? Trying to open Zelle through the app crashes it. :(
  22. [R81] Wescom Financial Mobile 3/5 · US Needs fine tuning: The app has improved a lot but the Zelle feature leaves wanting more. It just feels very plain visually. No colors to indicate money in or out. And the scanning of a Zelle QR code has never worked for me. It continuously says “not a Zelle QR code.”
