Not trying hard enough if all of the other banks manage to not end up crashing with new beta releases. I’ve been with First Direct for 6 years and it’s the same every year.
Got a tip for us?

The Swiss PostFinance app needs to be set up again after each beta, as it thinks it's on a new phone each time.
Have you rebooted since installing the latest beta? Mine worked until I rebooted, after which I had to delete and re-install the app, then go through the setup again.
Luckily, I found my lovely yellow card-reader.
Oh, that's not fun, thank you for the heads up. I will try when I have the lovely yellow card reader nearby 😉
Just tested MS Teams in Stage Manager mode again while on a videocall. Seems to work fine now, even with other apps side by side, which wasn’t possible before without the camera going dark. This is nice!

HSBC app got update in Malaysia yesterday and working fine on ios 16
several angry tweets @ First Direct on Twitter from people who’ve gone 16 beta & now distressed they now can’t bank by app (or online either, without one-time code gen).
no sympathy tbh, and certainly don’t blame the bank for not updating their app yet onto work-in-progress OS - eejits.
many more people would be rightly much more angry if the wider service was affected, or security was compromised in some way, but I guess it’s all about them.

That’s a bit harsh. They should be on it by now. Nearly every other bank are weeks ahead of them. And the way they lock you out of online too if the app isn’t working - that’s not great.
yeah, maybe. tweets are angry at the bank though - IMO people need to better understand what 'beta' and 'secondary device' mean, and/or take some responsibility too.
I’d give them a 100% pass if I could log in online without the app. Just looked on twitter. Customers are being really horrible. I don’t think I like twitter!
It's not had an update yet, so if it's getting the update that the Malaysia one has just had, then it might just work.
I noticed Waze on the "Broken" column, but I have been using Waze since beta 1 and currently on 6 with majority no problems. The only issue I run into is sometimes the GPS doesn't work right, but closing the app and restarting fixes the problem. Note that I have had this problem before iOS 16 anyway though. iPhone 13 PM
Only didn't edit the post to see if there are folks still having the issue that got the app in the broken pile

you'd go to the trouble of switching banks specifically to use iOS 17 beta on your main device during August 2023, rather than waiting for their app to be available several weeks later with iOS 17 GA ?
