Verdict: which one has fewer problems?
Across the latest 900 App Store reviews we collected, Chime has the lowest share of reviews with a complaint (24%) and SoFi the highest (57%). The biggest single difference is in bug complaints: 41% of Ally reviews mention them, vs 9% for Chime. Each app's own biggest complaint theme: SoFi, bugs (107 reviews); Ally, bugs (122 reviews); Chime, pricing / subscription (35 reviews). Average star rating in the samples ranges from 2.27★ (SoFi) to 3.65★ (Chime). Time span of each sample: SoFi 165 days (2026-05-11 to 2026-10-22); Ally 90 days (2026-07-25 to 2026-10-22); Chime 20 days (2026-10-03 to 2026-10-22). Because Chime's sample covers a much shorter period, a single recent update or outage weighs more heavily in its numbers. Samples that reach back many months (fewer reviews per day) show long-running issues rather than the effect of one recent update.
