App Evolution (new look Monzo app): Feedback Megathread 📣

It would be nice if other accounts were visible in the same place and design as Monzo accounts are visible.

Would look much better, and a lot more transparent for me from a financial overview (not sure if this is on roadmap or been discussed above).

It would also be great if monzo would allow one free connected account :eyes::upside_down_face::joy:

Edit: also. If in our overdraft, have a similar “£££ available to use”

The new layout is really smart, definitely a welcome refresh of the UI with a tonne of potential. A few tweaks needed here and there but overall it is brilliant. Well done to all involved and thank you for your hard work

This doesn’t just apply to the new layout, but surely there is a way by now to know who is ‘full Monzo’ so that ‘switch to Monzo’ can be switched off as a menu option for those people?

My main feedback is that there is just too much of a push to sell things.

I get this is part of a wider strategy to become protitable but there’s just too much pushed on the user - no I don’t want flex, no I don’t want a loan, why is it taking up so much real estate on the main page.

If lending promotions are switched off in the app, these shouldn’t be pushed on the Home Screen in my opinion.

Hopefully this will be alleviated by being allowed to reorder the widgets. Those things could then be moved to the bottom.

I suppose it serves as a reminder that any other accounts you have can also be switched to Monzo, should you wish.

Looking forward to being able to move the sections around / hide sections properly.

Please, GOD remove or give the option to remove the blurring on the pots. I didn’t spend far too long on the Monzo Pot Image Generator for this!

My pots don’t blur the image?

iOS?

I’m android and don’t have this issue.

Unless my eyes aren’t working (I don’t use monzo fyi hence pots empty)

The bottom half of the pot images is blurred on iOS in an effort to make the text labels more legible (but it doesn’t).

Can I just give a massive shout out to @rknightuk again for the pots image generator. The style of the pot images works really well with this new screen. :man_bowing::clap:

iOS 16 here:

Also, the swipe down on cards in the carousel view to return to the overview needs to make a return!

This doesnt work for me either but it’s still early days. Hopefully more tweaks over time.

I agree, getting rid of the blur is a must, it’s awful on iOS and my biggest gripe.

Seconded. Totally doesn’t work and makes it less legible.

OK. Turned it back on. Don’t hate it. Not keen on the visuals but that may just be that it’s very different. But there are definitely some bits that just don’t work for me.

Recent activity shows personal and joint account activity together. Absolutely don’t want to see that, unless it’s an option I can switch on and off (like viewing calendars side by side in Outlook then overlaying them).

They’re separate accounts. Keep them separate. Or give an option to see “everything” in which case include transactions from connected accounts.

Recent activity also includes upcoming activity. So if I have three upcoming DDs, it shows me the future, not the recent past. Recent is recent. Future is future.

Pots show as £x total. But that is the sum of £y in my personal pots and £z in our joint pots. They’re separate accounts, for separate purposes, and half of £z is hers not mine. Same comment as above - please keep them separate unless I choose to combine them.

Please - stack the pots vertically. Scrolling horizontally through the 25 pots across personal and joint just isn’t working for me.

I’ll post more as and when I find my way around!

Edited for clarification.

Edit 2. OK, what I thought was “Recent activity” is actually labelled “Latest activity”. So I suppose you could argue that receiving notification of an upcoming payment counts. But it still seems out of place to me.

Agree with this +++++++++++

I’m not interested in my joint account

I’m interested in my joint account - but apart from money going in at the start of the month and going into bill pots or savings pots, I just need to check that we don’t hit £0 when spending what’s left - supermarket food shop, petrol, cleaners and window cleaner. Especially as Monzo don’t provide joint account overdrafts.

But 90% or more of our pots balance is also in the joint account and I also don’t need to see that every day - and it isn’t “mine”.

Total overall balance for an account is also missing (or I can’t find it).

Previously if I pulled down, the total balance of account and pots was shown. Now the account balance (without pots) is shown, and the pots balance (a misleading one across personal accounts as it includes joint pots too).

But on a more practical level, for my business account, my accounting software shows my total balance, as it doesn’t recognise pots (which is fine as they’re not separate accounts).

But now I can’t compare my Xero balance easily with my business account balance - because now when I look in Monzo I have to add together the account balance and the pots balance.

I can’t find anywhere that shows the total.

Edit - suggestion :

Remove “Move money” (see later post re business accounts and moving money).

Remove the word “Balance” (as it’s fairly obvious that’s the balance). Replace it with “Including pots:” and below that the total balance including pots in the same small size font.

You could do that for personal and joint too.
