★★★★ Robert Asbridge 5/5/2026 v4.56
cannot enter cities for tavel
★★★★ Lyle Gelinas 4/21/2026 v4.55
I choose, for instance, shopping Best Buy...pick electronics...find a category...choose an item to look at...go back, to continue thru that category, and it takes you right back to the beginning...pick Best Buy...pick electronics...find a category...brutal...
★★★★ Heather 4/17/2026 v4.55

★★★★ Kris McLean 4/12/2026 v4.54
pretty buggy especially when setting a points range, I finally find something to use points on its in stock but unavailable, so why even have points
★★★★ Kaylee Zago 4/1/2026 v3.0
Signed me out while I was using the app saying my session expired. Logged in again and app doesn't load anything Almost a year later and this app still doesn't work. The pages for redeeming points don't load at all. What is the point of this app and how is it still even an app? It's useless! 2.5 years later I decided to give the app another try. Same errors and completely useless.
★★★★ Gianna Huerta 3/27/2026 v4.53
Impossible to navigate. I can't casually search anything because the back buttons always take me to the home page
★★★★ Charlie Naugle 3/11/2026 v4.52
getting no points, constantly has "errors" followed the replies advice, same problem tried calling support, no response awful
★★★★ Ian Lang 3/8/2026 v4.52
Just says experiencing technical problems when I try to see my pending balance. quite frustrating.
★★★★ Nathan Paul 3/2/2026 v4.51
technical issues at every turn. Many of the options for redeeming points are broken due to errors.
★★★★ Hara Mayumi 3/1/2026 v4.51
Horrible app. I booked 3 hotels in March. all information were there last week under my trip. It disappeared 3 days ago and realized I only received 2 of emails confirmation. so now I can't prove i booked except credit card transactions. I called travel agent to cancel one of my booking. she said she will charge me for cancelation because I didn't use online cancelation lol I explained I had to wait 40 minutes to connect with her because my booking information is all gone. what a joke.
★★★★ Evan S 2/28/2026 v4.51
Desperately needs bugfixes and other QOL changes in order to be usable, one major flaw is that this app signs you out while in use after 2 minutes no matter what you are doing! On top of not being able to see what merchandise is actually in stock the number provided to call support in these comments is not in service in my region of Canada 😅 Whoever works on updates for this needs to step it up and actually respond to user complaints, absolutely horrendous to use.
★★★★ Highland 2/26/2026
Poorly designed barely works.
★★★★ Robert Benn 2/21/2026
could not sign and I used the same sequence I use for my bank
★★★★ Kent Stobart 2/18/2026 v4.51
such a complicate app. npt sure how it woeks,whst it does,or why i should jpin this when i already have a RzbC crefit card
★★★★ J Lefebvre 2/18/2026 v4.51
when I'm asked to review I give 1 star
★★★★ Rebecca Milne 2/17/2026 v4.51
latest update broke the app. buttons all redirect to welcome page of website
★★★★ Sharks 2/13/2026 v4.50
Cannot redeem, or even access the merchandise or gift card section catalogues. Redirects to website to sign in again. Seems suspect. Already tried uninstalling, restarting, and still won't work.
★★★★ Tynan Rampling 2/12/2026 v4.49
this app is a dumpster fire. buggy, slow, randomly crashes or takes you back to the home screen. an absolute headache
★★★★ TorontoPaul10 2/11/2026 v4.50
Since the last update I can't redeem points for rewards. The app keeps asking me to login after I've already logged in.
★★★★ Angela Little 2/9/2026 v4.49
just tried to finish and it dropped off of my screen and disappeared
★★★★ Dylan Carlson 2/3/2026
It doesn't work. Input on keyboard won't work no matter what I do. New phone, reinstalled. Junk.
★★★★ Leanne Guo 1/6/2026 v4.47
If you can manage to log in, it will log you out within 10 minutes. If you click away from the app, you will be logged out or have to restart from where you were browsing. It will take you back to the homescreen or the top of the page if you're lucky. If you click into an item for more details, you will lose where you were on the page and have to restart browsing. I've waited years for this app to get better, and it only gets worse.
★★★★ Shawn Bouchard 12/30/2025
cant type flight destination and have it stay . destinations disappear and you cant proceed
★★★★ Martin Paradis 12/26/2025 v4.47
Can't type text. Can't search. probably the worst app I've ever used. Removing from phone. Pure garbage.
★★★★ Lyudmil “Luke” Arsov 12/12/2025 v4.46
Totally frustrating and useless application. Since instalation failed to log in. every time I've tried to log, the app send me to RBC Online to reset my password. Resetting password doesn't help. Not visible sign of support. Useless
★★★★ Al Tokarchik 12/8/2025 v4.46
I live in a rural area and am trying to order a Christmas gift using my points. I don't have mail or package delivery in my area. I can not add a shipping address in the app. I can not call anyone. There are no phone numbers to talk to an actual human. Welcome to the future. Nothing but AI chat bots. God help us. I certainly don't recommend an RBC credit card for Avion points. They are pretty much useless. EDIT: I was offered a phone number to speak with a human. Contacted, still bo luck.
★★★★ Aya DeAniege 12/5/2025 v4.46
when I try to redeem it just says "resume" and clicking "resume" does nothing. so... this app is useless to me.
★★★★ Mahnaz Khairkhahi 12/4/2025 v4.45
the new app to get into avion rewards points is not easy to use and is not going smoothly to redeem my avion rewards .I rate very poorly.
★★★★ Ludochris 11/19/2025 v4.43
Despite the update, every page just comes up with "resume". Uninstalled, restarted my phone, and installed, and it still doesn't work. Most recent update did absolutely nothing.
★★★★ Sidal Solgun 11/19/2025 v4.43
Extremely buggy, outdated, and unusable on OnePlus 13R! Quality testing please!
★★★★ Angie Batelli 11/18/2025
seriously I just want to pay down my bill at times it works and I can do it but most of the times I cant what the heck seriously seriously they are my points should I not have the right to use them as I please I want to pay down my bills I dont want to shop
★★★★ Jason McMillan 11/16/2025 v4.43
latest update broke the text box to search for the cities in the flight finder, now its just a useless app with no purpose. what are they even paying these developers for?
★★★★ Murd Elizor 11/14/2025 v4.43
Doesn't work at all. Just let me redeem my points in the RBC app again!
★★★★ Bronson 11/9/2025 v2.6
it's broken, there's always just a resume button when you view giftcards. the button does nothing and I can see no gift cards
★★★★ Steve Fossey 11/7/2025 v4.43
Useless app, because you use complex banking passwords (or you should) , but you can't authenticate with them in this app because it doesn't connect to any auth apps, services or biometrics. **EDIT ** thanks for replying, but where does the idea come from that unhappy users should have to go sit on hold to a bank to get heard? If your devops guys can't harvest and aggregate feedback data to create user stories, they're not doing their jobs.
★★★★ Karin 11/1/2025 v4.43
unable to enter destinations to check flight prices. this has been broken for a while. so frustrating!
★★★★ Ronin Breen 10/21/2025 v4.42
Buggy Unfinished Mess
★★★★ breanne sampson 10/15/2025 v4.42
doesn't work at all anymore
★★★★ john fingret 10/3/2025 v4.42
There's almost no merchandise to shop for.
★★★★ Nathan W 9/22/2025
you can't actually select print, view, or pdf of your travel itinerary through the app. the buttons don't actually load anything nor are they linked anywhere. poor design.
★★★★ PK Blondie 9/22/2025
system is not easy to use.
★★★★ Cyrus Croteau 9/18/2025 v4.41
I wanted to use Avoin rewards for travel, but the app’s travel section doesn’t work. You can pick dates, but no departure or return flights appear-even though plenty show up on other apps. The search bars are also awkwardly placed; you have to tap under the text and close to the left side of the screen just to search cities. Too bad RBC didn’t stick with Aeroplan since that app actually works
★★★★ danen powers 9/4/2025 v4.40
App does not load properly...
★★★★ Alex 9/3/2025
you guys made your app worse with time like all scams
★★★★ Marc 8/26/2025 v4.39
nothing loads, impossible to use. you hit any offer and it's a blank screen that says "resume" and the button does NOTHING. 0/10.
★★★★ Hera Kashmeri 8/21/2025 v4.37
RBC lacks consumer experience recommending Supermarkets & Delivery co.s that are motivated in profiting themselves, without taking them to task in underpaying delivery staff, while making off huge profits through RBC clients in dimes, & dollars. RBC does this by removing any responsibility in sponsoring these co.s. Also, the bank emails notices of these big sales from their sponsored Co.s while warning,"You're spending against your limit."
★★★★ Donn Hann 8/18/2025
when reading the comments, i haven't any interest in using this app. I see comments on your end about working on it, but this goes way back and still nothing making the points program obsolete. 🤨
★★★★★ Tymms clark 3/12/2026
useless! no matter how many times i login to my rbc account and change my password your app always continues to tell me the account is disabled and to go change my rbc password. really annoying considering i can go on avion just fine if i go through rbc mobile but this app is uselss!
★★★★★ Django Wile E 12/19/2025 v4.46
Can't checkout needs promo code? Can't find a promo code anywhere, search shows nothing. why do I need a promo code to redeem my points for a gift card? frustrating. Not impressed
