"Living in San Francisco while managing my German accounts used to be a headache, but the App2App feature makes it seamless. I just swipe to approve transactions on my iPhone—no more waiting for SMS codes that never arrive. It is the perfect bridge for my financial life between the US and Germany."
"As someone managing investments across time zones, the security of this app gives me total peace of mind. The ability to scan the photoTAN graphic even when I am on a flight without Wi-Fi is a lifesaver. It is fast, reliable, and exactly what I expect from a premium banking experience."
Insights from user reviews.
Sentiment Score
Summary
The app receives largely negative feedback, primarily due to widespread functionality issues, especially after recent iOS updates (notably iOS 26 and version 9.8.0). Users frequently report that the app becomes unusable, often due to false "Jailbreak detected" errors or Face ID failures, preventing essential banking operations like money transfers. While some users appreciate the ease of use and reliability when the app *does* work, and the security benefits of the separate PhotoTAN system, many find the overall user experience clunky, the login process overly complex, and activation procedures problematic. There are also complaints about limited customer support availability and concerns over the inclusion of political banners.
