    I'm not keen on the new app either SC.

    I know it sounds stupid but I refuse to get a bank app on my phone. I can be obsessive so I just log on using a computer to avoid me needlessly over checking and obsessing. Not saying that others should do this, I think everyone knows what's right for themselves.

    Can't say I've ever had a normal hangover, when I used to drink I used to get a tummy ache. Now I drink so rarely that my boby doesn't know what to do.

    The new Santder app is genuinely rubbish and they've done away with lots of helpful bits - like colouring incoming and outgoings separately so you can see which is which easily!

    I'm so glad I'm not alone on hating the app! They've also taken away useful things like being able to change the amount of time you can be away from it without it logging you out (y'know, so you can update your spreadsheet, which is also on your phone....), so you have to log in again every single time - but you can pick and choose what you want for your background on the login screen....🤦‍♀️ I messaged them to ask how I can remove the cards from the display and just have the accounts, but they replied (very cheerfully) to say that it wasn't possible 🙁

    Different strokes for different folks, KP. I personally find them very helpful (usually), especially if I am at BF's sans laptop and he is trying to get me to spend money, it helps me check whether I actually have any spare money!

    BTW, talking of over-checking, I will be very happy when my Govt LISA bonus lands (approx 2 weeks, according to when it has arrived in previous years). Balance is currently an extremely untidy £25,000.51 🤣! Then I can get back to not looking at it again until next April

    Not just me then not liking the "upgraded" Santander App.

    I do not want to see my frozen card displayed especially not in the middle of my list of accounts.

    Why take features away? Surely it is better to have the option and the customer choose whether to use them or not, than remove existing options?

    I find the app very white.

    I think Sainsbury's have a Freddo on a 10p Nectar price deal at the moment, they sent me an email a while ago very pleased with themselves about it. My reaction was more along the lines of "Whaaatt? I thought a Freddo was 10p!!!

    Probably not the response they were hoping for 🤣!
