[Android] Balance widget

Feedback & Ideas

Android homescreen balance widget, or shows progress to saving goals.

Low developmental intensity, and gives android another distinct feature like app shortcuts

There is so much potential with android in general. They can achieve so much but currently they have 3(maybe 4) android devs working flat out to bring it up to speed with the iOS version. In time they will be able to do all these, but it’ll be great to see them attempt a widget.

I would find really useful a widget to see my balance on the home screen.

I would like to add my +1 to this idea. A basic widget only showing current balance on the homescreen would be so useful. Not sure about security ramifications with this.

It would be great to have a widget. Moved back from ios to android and miss not having a widget.

This would be great functionality. One of the only times I’ve heard of an iOS app having a widget and Android not!

:rofl:

Are there any plans for an Android widget?

There’s a DIY version, using IFTTT and a Google sheet. This is probably more complex as it works out a calculated daily budget to display as a widget, but the sheet could be modified to show the daily balance instead;

(only for Personal Accounts, as IFTTT has no triggers available for Joint Accounts yet)

Native widgets would be awesome. Personal wishlist:

  • Current Balance
  • Pot values / percentages
  • Summary / left to spend counter
  • Recent friends / payees

An Android widget showing current balance and most recent transactions (e.g. last 5) would be great.

If Monzo is to develop a widget, it should be available for Personal and Joint Accounts - the app already knows if you have a PA and a JA and so the choice of which account to show in a widget should be baked in. In other words, two independent widgets can be displayed - one for PA and one for JA

It’s honestly ridiculous that this hasn’t been built yet.

I’ve only recently joined Monzo and was pretty unimpressed to find there’s no balance widget! Why?? This would be so useful!

Only revolut has a widget as far as I know. No others, unless you could direct me to who else?

Having another look, surprisingly Tesco Bank does :sweat_smile:

Yes and on iOS they have a “little thingy” you can place on your search screen. No idea what the terminology is but swipe left from home
