Nationwide always seem to offer really good savings rates for loyal customers, particularly the regular savings accounts. One small thing I really like about their app is that you can see the interest rate easily for each account, this is such a simple thing but not always easy to find in other bank's apps. It helps me stay across my finances and know when I need to move my money around. I also have a tracker mortgage with them and similarly can review the rate at any time in the app easily. The only thing about Nationwide is it requires more authentication when paying a new payee, you need the card reader which is a hassle. Barclays and Chase are much easier for transferring small amounts to friends etc.

The Barclays premier service is very good, I can easily arrange a call back through the app and speak to a real UK based human for advice at any time. The rates aren't always the best but I retain the current account for this service as it's really invaluable. I also find the app really good compared to other banking apps.
