We’ve complained in the past about NAB, Commonwealth Bank and St George rolling out Android “banking apps” that are little more than glorified bookmarks to a mobile banking site. That’s not because cross-platform mobile sites aren’t awesome, but because an app should do more. We don’t have a St George account to test the service directly, but its latest update to its Android mobile banking app appears to have slightly improved on its previous offering.
We’ve complained here quite a bit about mobile apps which are nothing more than a pointer to the existing mobile web site. St George’s new Windows Phone 7 app doesn’t make that mistake, though its feature set is limited to checking balances on your existing accounts.
