Works great and loads just fine . A major upgrade .
After installation and log in the account , turn off and turn your phone back on. It takes about 5 seconds to load the account. The interface is excellent and can see and search several months of transactions. Very easy and comprehensive. Thank you for the major update . Even the website is excellent with numerous new options such as category etc .
This new upgrade has been a terrible experience which customer service has been no help & pretty much told me I am using the mobile app incorrectly when taking pictures. The remote deposit feature has not worked for us since the upgrade. Spoke with someone tonight that said I need to take the picture manually since a lot of them members are having success that way. Why have an auto capture feature when it doesn’t allow it to be recognized. So now we have to hover over the check for at least 30 seconds before a screen appears to even allow the option to manually capture the image. Been a long time customer but this is getting to be ridiculous when told that their system is working fine & nothing is wrong with it, when there is something wrong when the features installed don’t work especially for your customers.
I checked my balance information and there appeared to be more money in my checking account than I remembered. But quickly looking over the transaction history it seemed to check out. I even told my family members that I had more money than expected. So now it’s about a week later and I check the app and see that I have almost no money in my checking!!! About $400 is missing. I look back at the transactions to see what happened. The original amount where my transactions were taken away from changed. So...I am deleting this app. It cannot be trusted or provide accurate information. This is a joke. Would definitely NOT recommend!
Please fix Transfer issues with calendar/date format defaulting D/M/Y instead of M/D/Y.
The date format used to be incorrect at the beginning of each month, but I could open the calendar and correct it. Now, it is always always defaulting to D/M/Y, and the calendar won’t open at all. Now, the only way I can correct the format is to open Single Transfer, manually switch to Multiple Transfer, and then switch to Single again. It is a real hassle and should not be happening. Please fix!
Visited the branch in Visalia to open a new checking and savings account. The gentleman that helped me today was amazing. Made everything simple. Easy. And even got my funds transferred from my other credit union without a hitch. Sign up through the app was simple and straightforward. No glitches. no hang ups. I can see my accounts and I was even able to seamlessly link my other credit union account for easy transfer. Now just time to start saving with valley strong! A minor request I’d say to the dev team for IOS the app name just says “Data Mobile” ….. any way to change the app name to display as “valley strong”? On the next update perhaps? Heh anyway, thanks for making the app easy and simple to use. The little animations are a nice touch too.
The interface seems nice and the options seem good, but the new update is ridiculously SLOW. I have yet to actually get it to open the account tab to be able to view my checking account. It just sits there loading. Also it defaulted my work number to my sms verification number and I am unable to change that in settings or remove my work number. So now I can’t log in unless I have my work phone on me. Why did you try to fix what wasn’t broken? The previous version was great, if I wanted full access to everything I would use the website, not the mobile app.
Ok so at least now you don't have to go through all those ridiculous questions every time you long in. But what happened to the in app calendar and calculator? I found those pretty useful. Also on my iPad it only loads sideways. Annoying.. The only improvement I can see is that it's easier to load previous months transactions. If something's not broke, don't fix it.
The remote check deposit function doesn’t work well
The remote check deposit function does not work well. The images my phone takes if the check look great, but the datamobile app seems to reduce the quality for upload, probably to reduce the file size, but the images it uploads to the bank are very poor quality, and the bank is rejecting them as illegible. They need to fix this.
At the beginning I had to write this long sentence when depositing through mobile: “For remote deposit at Valley Strong only.” It’s too long. So, I was happy the day I had to deposit more than one because it didn’t ask me for the sentence. I though, “Wow! That’s progress!” But now we’re back to the sentence. Why?
I really do not understand this app redesign. Why was this necessary? Yes there are a few new options, that’s great, but why could those have not been added to the old app design? The old app was modern, easy, and clean. It’s like someone sat in room and thought “how can we make this app look cheesy and dated, and how can we complicate it?”
Anyone know how to use this app on Apple Watch I have it downloaded and it says I have to add a account to the view list but I don’t see an opening for that on my app on my phone
I deleted and re-downloaded this app after it keeps saying “something went wrong while attempting to send last request. Please try again later.” All im trying to do is log Into my bank account and check my balance and it keeps saying that even now. Please fix it😒 this is so unprofessional 👎🏽 0 stars
Frustration. I’ve set my info up in this app several times, and it’s like it’s a brand new app every time I try to open it again later. And the fun part is, every time I try to get back into my account later, it locks my account because I have to request a new temporary password. More hassle than it’s worth, unfortunately, so I’ll be deleting.
The CAPTCHa prompts are inconsistent and not practical for use. Why prompt a user for this when they log out, instead of when logging in? I always connect from the same device, yet I get promoted. When I am prompted, it doesn’t even make me select images before moving past. What use is this, besides a speed bump for users?
Within the past week there has been multiple times where it won’t let me login. It would give me an infinite loading screen. There is no issues with my internet since I’m able to login to other banking apps. This is a big dealbreaker for me and if it isn’t fixed I will be leaving this bank and joining Strata
After having the app for a couple years I feel like it’s always broken. Kern is a rather large county. You think you’d take the time to make a app worth using. Instead it’s always being “updated” only to have something else not work. Honestly if I hadn’t been given a Kern schools account as a child I would have chosen a better credit union.
As Kern Schools DataMobile o had no problems with the app. Now that it has changed to Valley Strong DataMobile it wont even open. It worked for a week or 2, then it would open but woukd not show my Dashboard or accounts, etc. My name showed and Deposit Checks would open. Now the app won’t even start. Doesn’t even open the log-in page. How could it be this bad?
On occasion the app request I type my password. After typing my password, I hit “go” or “log in” then for whatever reason, the app adds more characters to my password thereby preventing me from logging in. It repeats until I am locked out of my account. Then I have to create a new password. Everything else seems to work fine.
This app is the worst out of all the other banks. I have friends that use Bank of America,Chase, and others and there apps are well constructed and easy to use. For me it won’t even let me sign up. It’s sad how I can’t check my balance from my phone and I am really thinking about changing banks due to this.
I love the app by after I update why am I not getting the option to deposit my check? I’m only given the option to transfer money too my savings to checking or vice versa.
I feel as if the app is moving backwards you can only pay the minimum amount that’s due on your credit card why. Always do unnecessary updates to complicate things it’s annoying and ridiculous.
After the app was upgraded I lost the function of scheduling a bill to be paid. Their tech team was unable to fix this issue. Will have to close my account
This app is constantly crashing. Application will not open, or lags to open , lagging more than 5 mins. App closes by itself and will jot work after 10 pm or before 8 am. Will be changing banks due to this issue
i wish i caught the ladies name that helped me through the phone but she was super sweet i had to write a review, she helped me with all my concerns thank you so much valley strong team 🥳 if there was a high rating i'd definitely rate 1000 thank you!
Only been a member for 2-3 weeks and just barely installed the app a week ago. So far the only time it’s opened and worked was the first day I installed it.
Half the time when I log out, it locks up the website. Then I have to reset the I-pad to clears it.I like the old system much better, can’t reach anyone that can tell me what to do right now.
Every time I try to take a picture of the check, I’m logged out due to “inactivity”. I just logged in. I’m actively trying to make a deposit. But as soon as the camera snaps the pic... logged out again.
The Face ID feature works about 30% of the time. Most of the time it’s “An unexpected error occurred.” And then you have to put in the password. Just wastes like 10 seconds every single time.
This new version is terribly slow to log on to. Pending deposits no longer show. You STILL can’t get a loan payoff. Not one thing is better about this app.
Whoever made this is straight undereducated or doesn't know up from down. Y'all really never thought of a contingency for when someone gets logged out🤦🏽♂️ Y'all straight dumb dumb
The old app was way better! I have been having trouble even logging into the app. The remote deposit isn’t working either. Please go back to the old app!
