A few years ago, I had an appointment at BOA and I asked about their android app. They said in case of any issue, they will resolve immediately at their end.
In summary, it is better to minimize the apps on phone (safety, battery, etc) and install only the apps that are needed in daily/weekly basis. To deposit checks, it is needed to use app and using PC is inconvenient.
It is good to monitor constantly the app accesses (use e.g. mobile security software) and uninstall the problematic ones. Skype is a good example of a buggy app and it occationally spreads messages in the app version, with link or attachment, while in its PC version, it works almost fine. If you need some apps like Skype occationally on phone, install it and after completing the calls, unintall it (or simply find another alternative trustworthy app that can work correctly).

I personally find apps very convenient, more friendly user... 5 yrs no issues. If you lose your card, you can lock it right away.
Its not about the app or any app it is that I am old and set in my ways. Im not interested in conducting business on a phone, a phone is for making and receiving calls.. I still do most of my communicating by making phone calls not sending email and I do not do text either.
I hope this goes without saying but too important not to say at all..... do not do mobile banking while using public wifi!

If there is a need to use a public wifi for any reason, it is better to use also a trustworthy secure VPN in addition to internet security software such as McAfee (for banking, some interent security software provide also a specific mode e.g. "safe money", to prevent screen snapshoting).
