Top Complaints
Ranked by volume — with trend direction and sample reviews
| # | Category | Volume | % of Negative | Trend | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Login/Authentication Failure "Cannot login since update. Biometric not working. Stuck on loading screen for 2 minutes." | 842 | 29.1% | +45% | Critical |
| 2 | QRIS Transaction Timeout "QRIS payment always timeout at merchant. Very embarrassing. Switched to BCA temporarily." | 524 | 18.1% | +22% | High |
| 3 | App Crash on Launch "App crashes every time I open. Reinstalled 3 times. Galaxy S23 on Android 14." | 389 | 13.5% | +23% | Critical |
| 4 | Unclear Error Messages "Error code GW-4421. What does that mean? No explanation. Had to call CS." | 312 | 10.8% | +3% | Medium |
| 5 | Transfer Delays "Transfer to Mandiri took 4 hours. Usually instant. No notification either." | 278 | 9.6% | -8% | Medium |
| 6 | UI/UX Confusion "New layout is confusing. Where is the mutasi button? Took me 5 minutes to find." | 201 | 7% | +1% | Low |
| 7 | Customer Service Response "Chatbot useless. Called CS, waited 45 minutes. Issue still not resolved after 3 days." | 184 | 6.4% | 0% | Medium |
So What?
Login failure and app crashes together account for 42.6% of all negative reviews and both are increasing post v12.4.2 update. The QRIS timeout issue is pushing users to BCA — this is a direct competitive loss, not just sentiment damage. Quick win: human-readable error messages can be shipped in 3 days.

Competitor App Comparison
Key performance metrics side by side
| Bank | Rating | Crash Rate % | Load Time (s) | Complaint Resolution % | MAU (M) | App Size (MB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRI (BRImo) | 4.2 | 2.8% | 3.2s | 68% | 35.2M | 89MB |
| BCA (myBCA) | 4.6 | 0.9% | 1.8s | 82% | 42.1M | 72MB |
| Mandiri (Livin) | 4.3 | 1.5% | 2.4s | 75% | 28.5M | 95MB |
| BNI (wondr) | 4.1 | 2.1% | 2.8s | 71% | 18.9M | 68MB |
So What?
BRI has the worst crash rate (2.8%) and slowest load time (3.2s) among all four banks. BCA's 0.9% crash rate is 3x better. BRI does lead in MAU (35.2M), meaning more users are impacted by these quality issues. Closing the crash rate gap is the single highest-ROI investment.
