"As a freelancer, managing my Self-Assessment used to be a source of constant stress. This app has completely changed that. I can log in securely with FaceID, check my tax codes, and make payments in seconds rather than hours. It provides the kind of financial clarity I used to pay an accountant for."

James Thompson, Freelance Graphic Designer

"I downloaded the app just to find my National Insurance number, but I ended up discovering a tax refund I didn't even know I was owed! Being able to manage my Child Benefit and track my state pension in the same place is incredibly convenient. It's the most user-friendly government service I've ever interacted with."

Sarah Jenkins, Working Parent

Summary

The HMRC mobile app is valued by some users for offering quick access to tax data and simplifying tasks like paying tax, particularly appreciating features like Touch/Face ID for convenience. However, a significant number of reviews highlight critical issues, most notably a persistent "infinite loop" that traps users between the app and a web browser during login, rendering the app unusable. Many also criticize the app for frequently redirecting users to the HMRC website for most functions, indicating it's not a standalone solution, alongside complaints about general unreliability and poor sign-in experiences, especially following recent updates and across various iOS versions.
