Revolut mobile finance - not supported on devices with custom firmware problem

lbschenkel Already did too, hope it's not just posing and it truly does something :)

Carlos-Anso idk
If you want to know it, ask Techniker TK, Barmer, for example

I have installed revolut app in a poco x3 NFC from my wife, that as an old version of crDroid ROM + GoogleApps. The installed version of Revolut was 10.56 and I have login into the app with no problems.

Great to hear that others are giving them feedback on this! They also reached out to me after I gave a one-star review on Play Store and wanted me to contact them by emailing help@revolut.com. So if you're a customer and have been locked out of your account because you had to reinstall the app or something, there's a way of contacting them without using the app (I couldn't actually find an email support address on their website).

It's interesting that older versions still work. However, I think a heads-up here is justified: it's not unusual for developers to, after some time, start blocking older app versions from connecting to their servers. Or the older version might stop functioning because they made an update to their identification method or whatever in a newer version, making the older version fail. So I think it's unlikely you'll have access from the older version in the distant future.

krysor I've just received an update to the version 10.56.1.

Does the issue still persist?

Yes. I saw the update today and actually hoped, while it was installing, that they had reverted their decision. But no.

So some here can login, but some can't? I don't want to test myself and get locked out.

As far as I can see in this thread, the only people who's been able to log in have been using an older version of the app, prior to version 10.56.

Would it be too offtopic to ask for some alternatives to Revolut? Europe based and app working (i.e. allowing to sign in) on GrapheneOS. To exchange between European currencies and pay with single use debit cards for shopping. I'd like a free tier as well.

I'm also looking for alternatives. I would gladly pay a bit extra compared to Revolut paid tiers to have an alternative that works without an app, for example. Looking for currency exchange with the lowest fees.

Wise used to be my go-to service, and I like it a lot, but the fees skyrocketed and it would cost me more than 3x the cost of Revolut premium tier.

If the discussion deviates a lot into alternatives to Revolut, might be desirable to create a new topic so you can discuss it in-depth? Might also make the topic more visible to users who can share input but don't care about reading topics on Revolut?

fid02 I would argue that lack of Revolut support for "custom ROMs" until a solution is found is pretty much related to possible alternative services that may even perform better and it should be in one place for quick reference. I agree though that it may turn into a long read like the RCS thread and easily go off the original topic.

On my pixel 7 the app is unsupported in the play store. But via aurora it works

user539 On my pixel 7 the app is unsupported in the play store. But via aurora it works

Which version of the app do you have installed?

fid02 it was 10.36.1 but i updated it now to 10.56.1 and it works.

I think i know what's going on. For some reason you must wait few minutes to Revolut to install.

So i do like this.
First deinstall not working Revolut. Then press install and wait for the popup where it asks do you want to install and allow network. Press install.
Then you must wait a few minutes Untill you get a notification from aurora that Revolut is installed. I have just waited 4-5 minutes for the update but it works.
On that profile i have also Google play installed

Revolut will not work Untill you receive a notification from aurora that Revolut is installed successfully.

user539 t was 10.36.1 but i updated it now to 10.56.1 and it works.

I assume you were already logged in when you updated the app to the latest version? So far only users who try to log in after an install of the app / cleared app data for versions 10.56.x get blocked.

Is it possible to somehow install a previous working version? I've tried apkpure, aptoid, apkmirror and uptodown but I always run into errors.
