@soulsaver have you ever considered adding a marker to your thread which shows app only accounts. I'm reluctant to use them so avoid but quite a few of the better rates are app only now.

And some apps only work on a phone and not on a tablet 

Don't think that's true, think all apps will work on a tablet but might need a phone as well (but that's true of some online account access too).

No. A number of apps only work on a phone. Monument is one and Saffron Building Society is another and there are more 

I stand corrected, Saffron app will indeed only run on a phone. I'm sure you are right and there will be others.

Monument however is happily running on my Samsung tablet.

Thanks for that. That is helpful. When I had a Monument account previously the app only worked on phones. I see now Monument 2 works on a tablet. I like Monument but gave up on them when I realised I couldn't use a tablet (they told me that). Will look again at them. Thanks

Installing Monument on my tablet requested confirm on previously installed phone app. Also says phone app access will be revoked.

Not yet it hasn't.

Saffron App works perfectly well on an iPad.

RBS and Ulster apps won't work on chromebooks. They install, open and then vanish after a couple of seconds.

Not surprised, Chromebooks are weird.

That's interesting, the Monument app is not available in Google Play Store on my Samsung tablet, nor on my wife's.

How odd, listed as Monument Bank on mine. Needs Android 9 and up - is yours older?

Ours are Android 11 and 12  respectively. Are you using a no longer available version. The version on my phone is 1.25.0

Don't think I can be, only installed it this morning on my tablet (running Android 14). Can't find version no in the app, Play Store says 1.25.0.

EDIT : I've asked for the bit of this thread about "what app runs on what" be moved to Techie Stuff, it's well off-topic (sorry).
