I am thinking installing the bank mobile app for making cheque deposits but would like to hear experience from people that had done if it is good or a so so usage. I am looking at Royal Bank and Manulife Bank

I use the RBC app and it works fantastic. So easy to deposit.

Before deciding to do it, make sure you know what the hold timeline is. If you need the funds asap, it might not be the way to go. But if not, it's a great way to save time going to a machine or the bank.

We've been doing it with CIBC for a couple of years. Works great.

I use the RBC app every two weeks with my pay cheque. The hold is no different than if you went in to the bank. I do not miss the Friday line ups lol!

First off, for those mentioning holds on cheques, if you are having issues with how much you can take out, it has nothing to do with how you are trying to do the deposit. It has everything to do with the banking limits set on your account. If you need access to more moolah then go to your bank and request your limits be raised. At least that is all I had to do.  
 
Now to answer the op's question...  
 
I use the RBC mobile banking app on my iPhone and I have never had an issue depositing my pay cheques or any cheque for that matter via the app. Just hold onto the cheque for 5 business days in case you do have any issues but after that you can destroy the cheque.

Mobile deposit is the only way I ever deposit cheques through RBC. I love it, so convenient.

I use tdcanadatrust and have no issues. I have a limit of 2k for deposits. Anything over will be held for about up to a week I think. Maybe less. Usually works good but so occasionally get some issues of the service being down. But not often. If you try to deposit too much they should warn you that x amount will be deposited and the remainder will be held x days

I have used mobile banking first time. Since I am using the phone camera for deposits are the images of cheques saved on my phone somewhere? I don't see those pictures taken anywhere.

The images should not be saved anywhere on your phone, at least they don't on mine.

No, the pictures do not save on your phone when using the mobile banking apps to deposit cheques
