So hereās a quick update of whatās happened with the latest (2.18.0) version of Monzo for Android!
Some exciting changes ahead
A lovely new āProfileā menu
Shows off all the key details in one really convenient location
Plus a perfect place to show off your perfect badges Of which I only have oneā¦ So far fingers crossed that a new badge for invites is backdated
Bill Splitting WITH NON-MONZO USERS!!
This looks amazing and itās so well executed Just an FYI to everybody, if you swipe left / right on āFriend 1ā or āJoe Bloggsā you can remove them from the bill split (should you want to)
The bill splitting with a non-Monzo-er Once you decide the amount you get sent back to the transaction. From there you can share the link with the appropriate party
Feature Request : Being able to rename āFriend 1ā would be ace! Cancelling / Editing the Bill Split would be ace!
New Settings Menu! Itās really getting there The Monzo settings page is much less of a ādumping groundā Looks really nice, the truly important settings have been split out into their own menu.
Itās very tidy IMO! Keep up the EXCELLENT work @emmag, @kavi, @ataulm (And anybody else that I missed from the Android Team! )
I like the new profile screen, it seems like a big improvement. My only dislike is the coloured area around the profile picture - I feel like it looks a bit odd and doesnāt really match the rest of the screen.
Ahh found it, also you canāt seem to edit amounts and people once youāve finished, plus itās ordered mine as friend 4 then 1 ,2,3 ( same amount of Ā£ for each)
Sorry, I like it compared to what it was before, but it could have been much tidier IMO.
Settings just being a text link in the top of Profile makes it even harder to find than before if someoneās looking for it. Why is it inside Profile inside Account now, except historical reasons?
My suggestion would have been get rid of the corner āProfileā link as part of the 1st card in the Account tab, which has always been a bit undiscoverable, and instead add two items under ā[+] Find out about overdraftsā such as ā[ļø] Your profile and account detailsā and ā[] Settingsā (and consider if OSS licenses and some other things from the bottom of Profile should be at the bottom of Settings instead).
Also, the one-option cards - e.g. Statements, CASS, Joint Accounts look weird, the header font is bold, but not sufficiently different, or delineated from the single option - would adding an icon on the left of the action, or some intro flavour text, or changing the heading font help? Google Play settings uses a different colour and a slightly smaller font for settings headings for example.
Finally the āclickabilityā of all the options in Profile is a bit random - I get a tapping animation on e.g. Sort Code but nothing actually happens, not even copy to clipboard. Whereas the entry for my email doesnāt have the animation and doesnāt do anything (didnāt it prompt to speak to cops before?). Many options state their current value and are click-to-change, whereas others are call-to-action type texts. It all still feels a bit inconsistent.
Sorry for the gripes, hopefully theyāre constructive enough though?
The Settings link is definitely in a really confusing place and should be moved to the Account tab. I like the idea of having ā[] Settingsā above or below the ā[+] Find out about overdraftsā par tof the Account tab.
I think the profile tab should stay as it is. There is a little arrow next to it which suggests you should click on it on the iOS app - canāt remember if itās on the android one though.
