★★★★ Andrew Fryer 5/7/2026 v183.05
Full of incompetent staff who consistently lie from the savings to the fraud dept
★★★★ Foo Bar 5/7/2026 v183.05
Deliberately not supported on GrapheneOS.
★★★★ Keith Ballard 5/6/2026 v183.05
It used to work perfectly but now it's completely useless. When I try to log in it just says there are technical problems and it will not give me access to my account. Have tried uninstall and reinstall but still will not work. As such I cannot access my account hence a one star rating.
★★★★ ian campbell 5/6/2026 v183.05
the app does not work anymore. for several months when I go to log in an error comes up that we are having technical issues and cannot connect please log out and try again. I've cleared cache, uninstall and even done a full factory reset on my phone but still does not work. I've spoken to IT who said try what I've already tried. I can log in via a browser so it's an app issue
★★★★ Karen Esquilant 5/6/2026 v183.05
Can't log in since the latest update, just get an error message saying there is a technical issue & try again later! I now have no access to my bank account, have tried uninstall & reinstall & had to go through the lengthy process of registering again & still can't log in.
★★★★ Duthie12 5/5/2026 v183.05
apps not been working for 4 or 5 days days now 🤔 tried everything....come on sort it oot .. *UPDATE* thanks, still getting error message saying technical problems unable to login. weird as worked for years prior to March 2026. *further update* May - will probably have to change banks soon as the app is still unusable, can't get anything done.
★★★★ Aaron Johnston 5/5/2026 v184.03
poor. never opens. constantly fails
★★★★ Stuart Swannie 5/5/2026 v183.05
unable to use the mobile app anymore, it says signing in then never signs me in and says sorry we are experiencing technical blah blah. pain in the rear
★★★★ Mark Richardson 5/4/2026 v183.05
takes way too long to accept a new pay reference and won't accept password when prompted totally useless tbh needs massive overhaul
★★★★ Mark Hudson 5/4/2026 v183.05
Appalling, I have had a problem with making transactions and went to chat online and got one message and I answered and got no reply at all in the half an hour I waited. I have had an account for over 40 years and now I am going to switch. They don't value your custom, Keep away
★★★★ Phil Reading 5/3/2026 v183.05
Worst. Banking. App. EVER!!!!!
★★★★ Rich A 5/2/2026 v183.05
Down for nearly a week so far for me. Can't log in, big red "technical problems" message after biometrics - cleared cache, cleared data, re-verified, no change.
★★★★ Jwm 5/2/2026 v183.05
I cant get jnto it.
★★★★ Owen Cain 5/2/2026 v183.05
Does not work on rooted device, indicates poor security practices ibternally at Halifax. Other banking apps work well on my rooted device.
★★★★★ Beata B. 5/5/2026 v183.05
really don't like the app since they connected it with lloyds. too many issues.
★★★★★ Paweł Rutkowski 5/4/2026 v183.05
not brilliant unfortunately
★★★★★ Doo7a Magnifico 5/4/2026 v183.05
The devs should keep privacy in mind. when I close the app, the accounts and balances are still shown clearly in the recent apps.
★★★★★ Karen Reid 5/3/2026 v183.05
I don't understand it.
★★★★★ Richard Williams 5/2/2026 v183.05
Slow, painful and prompts for too many damn passwords.
