Atom bank app updated - doesn't work with Marshmallow

alanwsg

Atom bank have updated their app, the old one insists you update it and the new one isn't compatible with Android 6 (Marshmallow) or earlier.

Just a 'heads up' for users -  as Atom accounts are fixed-term savers I suspect most people wont use the App very often.

I used to have the app on my tablet but I've had to install it on my phone instead. No problem for me but people might only find out the next time they really need to use it (i.e. account maturity) and get a nasty surprise.

Yes, this came up a couple of weeks ago, as did Atom's published policy of supporting only current and previous versions of Android: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6099480/atom-bank-app

Tried to open a fixed term account on my iPad but the app would not allow me to record my voice for security purposes. Rang the helpline and was told this is an issue sometimes with iPad not allowing access to the microphone. Have no other usable devices, therefore cannot open an Atom account.
