I was thinking about horizontal vs vertical pots.
Apart from the fact that horizontally you can only see two and a bit pots on the screen horizontally and about 10 vertically (depending on the exact screen dimensions of your device)ā¦
Weāre so used to seeing columns rather than rows of figures - it just makes more sense to have the balances right justified and vertically stacked. Itās how ledgers are laid out and how weāre used to seeing them. Itās a natural thing to scan up and down a column of figures and do mental arithmetic if you need to. Trying to do that across a row is not at all intuitive or easy to do, made even worse by the limited visibility.
My opinion of course - others may disagree.
I also find horizontal trickier to navigate and parse.
I can swipe up and down with my thumb quite low on the screen to see more info and itās intuitive.
Another point is that the back gesture on android is a swipe from either side of the screen. When anything wants you to scroll horizontally, thereās always a risk youāll accidentally activate the back gesture.
+1 from me for vertical lists ![]()
Iām sure you already know but schedule transfers are a little wonky in the latest activity feed for me:
Iāve had to turn Overview off as itās making the app unusable. Screens stuck, transactions missing, buttons not working. Iām on latest TestFlight on iOS. Anyone else experiencing similar?
The new Home Screen is so frustrating, but like with summary thereās no point me trying to use the older versions if theyāre just being phased out. Disappointing.
I had similar. I found that if I clicked on the account element which took me to the old card ui it was fine. If it clicked on the latest activity then It became unusable. Also on iOS
Thanks, that has seemed to do the trick for now.
What do you find frustrating about it? Bear in mind this is an early v1 release. Iām sure it will get better over time with more feedback.
Something Iāve noticed on iOS, a pot feed and deposit amount on the Manage tab donāt update after making a credit/debit for quite sometime after. Refreshing the Home Screen makes no difference. Killing the app also makes no difference. The balance is the only thing thatās correct
Iāve noticed this too itās really irritating and Iām sure push notifications from these pots donāt always work either.
I decided to turn the new Home Screen off in labs for now because of it.
Iāve been finding that the normal feed (on Android) has been super slow to update (weāre talking 2 to 3 seconds sometimes, sometimes longer). It was worse before app evolution, and it has improved a bit recently, but itās still not great.
The (non) combined feed seems to be quicker, though.
Oh thatās annoying. I would have turned it off too
When the pot Manage tab wiggles about as it updates is also annoying. Pots need to have a spruce up I reckon.
Performance is a drag alright. Them engineers are gonna need to crank it up a bit to make the app smooth and silky.
Yeah I noticed this too and it was really frustrating.
I have turned it off as I really couldnāt get used to it at all.
Iām quite liking the Overview, it definitely gets better as muscle memory kicks in. The sluggish performance is not good though. An example was I was at the till in a shop on Christmas Eve (very busy) and I realised needed to double check my JA balance before buying (no overdraft but thatās for another thread). The app took a good few seconds to refresh and then clicking the JA card seemed to take about 2-3 hits before showing the feed. When youāve got a queue of people behind you, itās not great.
Why are my pot images so blurry?
Totally agree regarding the constant up selling of flex and other accounts - I donāt want them at all ever. And the way Monzo tries to constantly push them is annoying.
Hi,
Itās brilliant to see this is being worked on ![]()
In all honesty the current āpull down to go backā interface feels a bit clunky to me, as the animation is a bit janky and slow, even though Iām on a relatively recent iPhone.
The new interface looks great! I have however noticed an issue for me, in how I use Monzo, and thatās around potsā¦
I use pots constantly in Monzo, either for bills, or for ring-fencing funds, so my budget stays on track all month long, so Iām constantly shuttling money in and out of them.
So for me itās really really important to be able to see all my pots at a glance, just to see that everything is āhealthyā, and to move funds around if needs be, if that makes sense.
Whilst having the pots ācarouselā is very compact, and looks nice, it makes it much more involved to glance at all my pots, and see that everything is ok.
If at all possible, Iād like to see a small āsee allā button on the top-right of the pots āwidgetā, just as there is with the latest activity widget, that would open up a full-screen list of all my pots and balances, so I can scan my eye over them, and see everything is ok please.
One other small thing is that it would be nice to be able to āswipe backā from the left edge of the screen - This is a standard iOS interaction, and I often finding myself trying and failing to do this ![]()

The latter isnāt really a ānew Overviewā thing, but just a general observation about the app.
I really hope something can be done about the Pots widget, because they really are central to how I use Monzo, so for them to become a āsecond class citizenā as such would be quite a step back for me.
Thank you again for such a great app and service ![]()
