Following on from my 13th payment project (  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80737194#Comment_80737194?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=13th+payment+ ) here is a list I've been working on for longer.

Building Societies:
Beverley

Buckinghamshire

Chorley

Darlington

Dudley

Earl shilton

Ecology
Family 
Harpenden

Leek

Leeds

Loughborough

Manchester

Mansfield

Market Harborough

Marsden

Melton

Monmouthshire

National Counties

Penrith

Principality (they do have a first home app, stadium apps & have had a kids Dylan app)

Progressive

Scottish (they have a home/mortgage app though)

Stafford Railway

Suffolk

Swansea

Vernon

West Brom

Other:
Aldermore (there is a motonovo app though)
Cahoot
DF Capital

I prefer a mobile friendly website shortcut on my home screen to having an app installed on my phone. That way it's not using much space, doesn't need updating, less likely to crash, etc.

There is always the alternative of tablets with bio security app access ( finger print reader). Vast majority of my banking and investing  apps ( HL & II ) are  accessed via Samsung tab S7, which I also use to generally browse the Internet & online shopping.

Hardly ever fire up the laptop these days.

Tablet is lightening fast to 'boot up' , much easier to read, and less likely to lose or damage since kept at home.

Websites, with all the bother of logins and passwords, seem very last century by comparison.

Family Building Society, had a 120 day notice account with them last year!

Horrible user experience on mobile, half the page cut off! Tedious to use! Zooming in/out!

Banking apps every time!
Open in seconds, automatic updates, everything at your fingertips,
keep all Banking apps together on phone!

Although it would be a prime target in a burglary. All other advantages you state are available on a sub £100  smartphone, e.g the Moto G32.

Bad eyesight precludes reliance on the phone for anything other than basic phone related stuff.

The 12 inch tablets give me  phone app functionality, easier to interface with the large keys and  to read in the large format, but perhaps this is an 'old codger' requirement 😇

Don't think Aldermore Bank have an app.

Nor Cahoot.

Monmouthshire App is in the works.

Vanquis Bank doesn't have an app.

Manchester Building Society is on the list, but it is pretty much defunct. It was rescued by Newcastle Building Society a year ago and hadn't been allowed to offer new mortgages for years before that; and no savings accounts have been available for opening since it was taken over. So I'd suggest you could remove it.

Investec don’t have a savings App.
