    I hate doing anything on a phone. The UX is just bad most of the time. Most of the crucial information tends to be hidden away in sub menus. Dark patterns everywhere so you get psychologically manipulated into spending more.

    Plus there is never an urgent time to buy something quickly enough that id take out my phone and clumsily navigate through some garbage outsourced app to do it.

      Yeah, when I hear people complain that their banking app breaks when they use a non-standard Android ROM all I can think it “You bank on your phone? What’s the emergency that can’t wait until you get home to your real computer?”

        I can only speak for the credit union I work with, but their app is largely better than any web based banking site I have used. From what I can find it is considered very well built, and secure, not just smooth to work with, simple UI, and have never given me single issues using it as designed.

        I find myself on their site only for reading things. Like loan policies, investment stuff, etc. cause those types of documents just work better for me on a desktop.
