App Evolution (new look Monzo app): Feedback Megathread šŸ“£

There’s been no engagement that I can see from the Monzo team on this thread since before Christmas (quite reasonably, before anyone thinks I’m criticising) but I’m hoping that in the new year we’ll see some more responses from them.

A number of people have made very similar comments (myself included) and I’m hoping that as pots are so central to the Monzo experience, this will be improved.

I’m not sure how far the customisation will go, but currently, with the mixed feed and showing 3 items, it’s of no use as I have direct debits 4 days away (and they were there yesterday) so I can’t 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 ā€˜Latest activity’ 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 ā€˜See all’) 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, I’d keep the current limited initial view with the one-tap ā€˜See all’ plus scroll (with another tap: ← 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 there’s a ā€˜see all’ button for that, do you think you’d like more transactions on the Overview? Perhaps there’s a way to remove upcoming payments from showing in that new section. It’s tough to try and please everyone

No, please, showing the 3 most recent transactions is not useful. Chase did this on their Home Screen and I hated it.

I would much prefer something more intelligent, like last 24h, or last 7 days

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.

Indeed, although I think even if you took scheduled payments out of it, it would still be pretty rubbish.

And please don’t anyone suggest showing just the first 3 scheduled transactions :face_with_peeking_eye::joy:

Perhaps two lines:

Ā£x pending (current)
Ā£y pending (joint)

Then 3 or 5 most recent transactions.

Tap on either of the two lines for pending transactions to expand them to show the individual transactions? Or if there’s only one transaction pending, show it so you don’t have to tap into it.

Don’t 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 today’s edition of Monzo Logowatch :tm:, we have an interesting discrepancy between the classic feed and the new (not yet joint) feed in the Overview home screen:

Classic: old Monzo logo

Overview: white on blue/turquoise

Even more interesting with the discrepancies on the new home feed - difference between interest paying pots and the Plus interest payment:

How do I search old transactions on the new app design? I can’t see the option anywhere!

You can’t currently. You have to tap into the current account and search from there.

Wow that’s dumb. But at least you can still search for it. Thanks for the info.

It’ll be on the roadmap. This is an early preview for the eager beavers who want to give feedback and help Monzo with real life feedback and data.

But yeah, can’t really go live without that!

Just to say a search option on the home screen would be epic. It could even just be a search icon instead of that dumb present one for a start.

I don’t know if this is the right place but here we go.

I’d 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 it….

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.

Bug, new today I think. Showing my personal account card twice. Tried the usual tricks but still persists.

I have the same thing but for my personal account. I have ā€˜show joint account first’ enabled in labs if that helps.

In the sideways pot view, on iOS long pressing (dunno if Android can do this) a pot to bring up a Show/Hide menu would be good.

A fix for this is on its way, thanks for reporting!
