fucking chase is abandoning the small town where I actually use the bank (I need to keep an account there for reasons, don't need advice about choice) occasionally. looking into mobile banking for doing deposits and it seems it can actually be safer than on-line banking with computer so I decided to get the app and try it out. little circle has been spinning for a long time. I even canceled it once and restarted the phone to try again. the only other app I have installed that wasn't already on the phone was for Safeway and that loaded almost instantly. I have no idea what is normal?
how long should this take? it says it is about 60 MB

(6,212 posts)I love it. So easy to make deposits. I can't remember how long it took to download the app but I don't think it was too long.

(4,284 posts)I have an iPhone and use the app from a small regional bank where we used to live. It works fine. Since we had been with this bank for many years until we moved we called and ask them to raise the normal deposit limit on the app from $500 to $5000. It took a fairly high officer to sign off but they did it.
Oh, forgot to mention that the app downloaded fairly quickly too. No app should take more than a minute or so on a good wireless connection.

(25,183 posts)I haven't been able to update apps for at least a week on Google's Play Store for my Android smartphone.
I'm wondering if it is because of streaming video products that they sell on the same app.

(54,990 posts)I also wonder if the problem is that it is an older phone? it is a galaxy 5.

(23,860 posts)I love it...I can deposit checks and download all the banking data to develop my budget. I also can transfer money to family or people who invoice me without writing paper checks.

(54,990 posts)so, after trying to contact the bank 9and getting nowhere - 50 minute wait times equals me not waiting! - and finally finding a chat at the google store, they had me go in somewhere in settings and delete data/clear cache. that worked. who knew?
ah, the ultimate in lazy. deposited 2 checks from the desk in my living room.
