As I always say, any change to a design is going to seem strange for a while, until you get used to it - see every redesign of your favorite social media site ever. If you’re still bothered by it in a couple of months then that’s when I’ll start to worry.
To point out the key benefits:
- No more hidden functionality
- Easy access to tabs like the Card tab which is about to get a lot more useful when Pots are released
- Easier support, as the paths to different features are the same for iOS & Android
The only potential downside that I can see is reduced space for the feed, especially once the Pulse Graph is added, which might impact users with small phones - but on the whole, Apple users seem to be coping ok & how many transactions do you need to see at once
