I just checked on Moneyfacts.
Of the top 20 best interest rates for a one year fix,  only one provider was 'mobile only' 

I can understand the desire to use apps to manage money easily, in terms of deposits, withdrawals, transfers, monitoring, etc, but surely anyone in the market for a fixed term account will generally have no need (or usually ability) to do anything with it throughout its term?

Having said that Chase Bank's app is mobile phone only.

As well as iPads, the Chase app will work fine on Android tablets. All devices must be running a 64-bit OS.

Sadly the app is not compatible with my Samsung Tab s7 ( released 2020 ) despite it running Android 13 and a 64 bit OS.

Are you sure it is the 64-bit version and not the 32-bit version of the OS? Device manufacturers have form for shipping lower end devices (up to 4GB RAM) with the latter, even though the hardware is 64-bit. There are a couple of ways to check: https://nerdschalk.com/32-bit-and-64-bit-android-phones-list/ (or you could use CPU-Z and look at the kernel architecture under System).

Google fully removed 32-bit support in Android 15, so newer devices will not have this problem.

Works fine on my cheap Toscido Android 12 tablet, where I relegate apps I no longer use on a regular basis.

Looks like you were correct my tablet appears to be a 4gb variant with the ability to internally upgrade to a 'virtual ' 6gb of ram. Have been in 4gb mode from outset, but having just upgraded to the virtual 6gb, it has had no affect and it remains incompatible with Chase.

A shame, but I can live without the tablet access for that solitary app..
