Is it influence or just pure coincidence?

Well, well, well. My reader might not have answered on a postcard as I requested in my last blog about my banking app but the missive attracted a few comments.

First off the mark was RB of F: “I had the same with Lloyd’s and I couldn’t erase the new smartphone app- arghhhhhhh.”

This was swiftly followed by an email from TP of M: “Totally agree with you!”

And finally TC of E weighed in: “I totally agree – b******s.”

Thank you. For the comments but mainly for bothering to read IDGOM.

While on this subject, I do have a bit of an update.

The game of electronic ping-pong, you may remember, went on for a while until a new message appeared stating that my iPad operating system no longer supported the new app. So, I was expecting the worst.

But I am pleased to tell you that I appear to have some influence after all. The app did stop working on the pre-determined date as stated but then, rather miraculously, it started working again.

Maybe it wasn’t beyond the bank’s tech team’s abilities to ensure loyal customers who do not upgrade phones and tablets every time a new version is released could take advantage of mobile banking by issuing a cut down version of the app. Or maybe just coincidence?
