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.

So What?

BCA maintaining steady 4.6 while BRI declined from 4.4 to 4.2 in 6 months. Gap is now 0.4 points — the widest in 2 years. Mandiri stable. BRI risks dropping below BNI if v12.4.3 hotfix is delayed.

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.
