User Reviews

Users appreciate that Shinhan SOL Global caters to foreigners with a mostly English interface and simple basic functions. However, the app suffers from frequent crashes requiring reinstallations, false root detection blocking access on popular devices, missing important features like credit card reports, and unhelpful error messages mainly in Korean. Customer service is also criticized as unresponsive or unhelpful regarding app-related issues.

Simple and handy for performing basic transfers and transactions.
Provides an English interface for the most part, aiding non-Korean speakers.

Cons

Frequent crashing and instability, with users often needing to reinstall the app to use it.
False root detection on devices like Google Pixel 3, 6, and S9+, causing the app to close immediately.
Critical features like credit card reports and balance checks are missing or have disappeared in updates.
Error messages are often in Korean only, making troubleshooting difficult for non-Korean speakers.
Poor customer support and unhelpful staff when authentication or certificate issues arise.
