CardNav

I LOVE this app! I watch over our accounts so carefully that this makes it so much easier to keep an eye on them. As with any app, there can be little bugs, but the developer has been great so far in fixing them as soon as they come around. Know your balance when it gets below a certain amount & instant notifications when a charge happens. This has saved me when someone tried to use my card number at an atm & I was able to quickly call my bank, identify it as a fraudulent charge & get a new card number.

This app provides helpful functionality but falls short in a number of areas: 1) it doesn’t make it clear that the login is not your bank login despite displaying your banks logo. So I imagine a lot of people enter their bank log-in at first. 2) the app limits passwords to 8-12 characters. Welcome back to the 1990s. 3) the app requires you to manually logout. This is inconsistent with how every other app having access to financial data performs, 4) the app does not support touchid or faceID, 5) the app doesn’t work nicely with password managers 6) the app emails you your login id after registration. While it is fairly typical to email a user their iD when they indicate forgetting it, sending this automatically at registration unnecessarily makes that half of your login credentials more accessible to bad actors on the internet. These are all fairly basic things, so hopefully the backend security is done better.

I have been using this app for a few years now. It’s a great app for all the right reasons such as purchasing control and my favorite is instant notice of transaction use. However I am disappointed that the Finger recognition login is no longer supported and now have to log in with password on a daily basis. It was even a disappointment before when you had to at least re-login at least once a week which I assume was for security purposes. However it was tolerable. On the flip side though My credit union around the same time this stopped with CardNav has now incorporated the finger print login to their app. I will continue to use the app for reasons above and hopefully they will reincorporate the login issue. Would be nice to know for sure.

after having my card # stolen twice on online purchases (in the same week!!) , i don’t go anywhere without this app. i unlock before i pay, soon as the charge pops up (very quickly) i lock the card up. how my # was stolen i’m sure was reusing my info soon as my charge went thru so this app makes that impossible if you lock asap. only complaint is it asking for a 4 digit pin “to make log in easier, use pin instead of regular login”. it has never let me log in with this pin, and every time i have to type in login info it asks me to create this mysterious non functional pin. otherwise, this is a lifesaver and works perfectly, updates fast, works on cell as well as wi-fi. also works perfectly with the touch id on an iphone 6 s plus.

Update: Still no Touch ID, still can’t paste in a password. I use random passwords from a password manager, and this app makes using them nearly impossible. Modernization of this app is sorely needed. Down to one star. Seems to be functional and handy, with some useful features. Setup WAY too difficult: I use a password manager and the app does not allow you to paste into the password field. Also, a 12 character max password length is ludicrous, especially for a financial app. Finally, I have multiple cards and the app should allow me to assign nicknames so I can easily differentiate them.
