What users say about Starling - Mobile Banking.
From the 33 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users frequently praise the app's intuitive interface, ease of use for payments, and responsive customer support. However, significant complaints arise from US-based users unable to register due to UK-only residency restrictions, alongside frustrations with recent UI changes and payment verification hurdles.
Mixed but leaning positive (73% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being easy to use, and easy sign-in. The main complaints are about crashes and bugs. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.

- Ease of use: “Great Service and Convenient”
- Login & account: “Easy app to use, login, and make payments”

Trying to stick to a budget? Spending trackers can help. They let you set a monthly budget for a category, like ‘Eating Out’, and track how much of the budget you have left as the month goes on. Create and manage spending trackers in the ‘Spending’ section of the app.
4.73.0
To get a clearer picture of your spending habits, head to the ‘Spending’ section of the app. From there, you can ask Spending Intelligence questions about what you've spent on certain categories, like ‘Groceries’ or ‘Eating out’.

When you set up a Under 16s Space, your child gets their own debit card. They’ll get notifications when they spend money, and they can use the Under 16s app to check their spending and view their balance. You always stay in control, as their Under 16s Space is linked to your account. To set up a Under 16s Space, go to ‘Spaces’.

Review momentum
48/100
faster than 41% of Finance apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
