Thereās been no engagement that I can see from the Monzo team on this thread since before Christmas (quite reasonably, before anyone thinks Iām criticising) but Iām hoping that in the new year weāll see some more responses from them.
A number of people have made very similar comments (myself included) and Iām hoping that as pots are so central to the Monzo experience, this will be improved.
Iām not sure how far the customisation will go, but currently, with the mixed feed and showing 3 items, itās of no use as I have direct debits 4 days away (and they were there yesterday) so I canāt see any recent transactions for 5 days.
If I could make this 10+ that would be a big advantage.
Given the lack of vertical real-estate applied to the āLatest activityā section on the new app home screen, to display more transactions in this section would need an introduction of something like a localised scrolling widget, as opposed to one tap (on āSee allā) to get there. As in, tap on said widget, then scroll up/down to see all transactions (while still on the home screen), then tap out of it somewhere else on the home screen to continue to scroll through the whole home screen.
Personally, Iād keep the current limited initial view with the one-tap āSee allā plus scroll (with another tap: ā to get out of it: 2 taps/scroll total) and maintain the new app home screen as a global scrollable display, as opposed to a display with localised scrolling widgets.
I think I agree. However thereās a āsee allā button for that, do you think youād like more transactions on the Overview? Perhaps thereās a way to remove upcoming payments from showing in that new section. Itās tough to try and please everyone
Nor is showing 3 of the 27 pending transactions across current and joint accounts between tomorrow and 4 days from now, while hiding my Tesco shopping transaction from this morning.
Tap on either of the two lines for pending transactions to expand them to show the individual transactions? Or if thereās only one transaction pending, show it so you donāt have to tap into it.
Donāt know how well that would work either from the point of usability or scree design. And possibly all falls apart if there are debits and credits pending.
In todayās edition of Monzo Logowatch , we have an interesting discrepancy between the classic feed and the new (not yet joint) feed in the Overview home screen:
I donāt know if this is the right place but here we go.
Iād love to see the upgrade button moved to the bottom tab where the plus button sits and this become a products tab. If you have plus you probably know what you get for itā¦.
Whereas if you could click into that space and see the different products, upgrades and offers I think that would be a good balance of advertising but without it being obtrusive.
