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

[Paulw (Paul)]

Thanks for sharing. This is great. Loving the customisation of it. Looking forward to giving it a try.

[aCCount]

Customisation looks good. Pleased to see Left to Spend making its way back to the front screen!

Perhaps this is outside the scope of your work, but I would like to see more “recent transactions” on the front screen with some better logic (e.g. last 24h, last 7 days, new since last checked app, etc)

[Carlo1460]

An absolute minimal option.

Accounts and connected accounts pinned to the top.

Pots in the same bubble/pill format underneath.

Nothing else - with an option to add or remove if I wish to.

[Callumrhys]

This all looks great, especially spotlights, looking forward to when this goes live!

[Callumrhys]

One thing to add, and I know it’s been said before. Is that pending transactions should perhaps be exempted from the latest activity area as mines been totally useless over the BH due to things due to come out today.

[samuelbranter]

Thanks for all the feedback and comments so far everyone I’ll add a few bits to give some more context!

• We’re at the early stages for the Spotlights gesture: blur or no blur, should you be able to ‘pin’ it so it’s always there (à la macOS dock optionality), etc.; still a bit to explore further to see what feels right.

• Re: hiding Pots and accounts, we’re looking at a transient filter to ‘reveal’ hidden items temporarily. This would allow you to check in on a balance before hiding it again (you can see this in the Pot menu screenshot as ‘Reveal 1 Pot’).

• We’re also looking at ‘latest activity’ a lot (upcoming transactions, badging, how many, etc), hopefully @leepethers will be able to talk more to this soon!

@samuelbranter

[Abcmsaj (Alex)]

Absolutely love the Spotlight concept - but agree that the gesture to reveal it feels unintuitive! I am now so used to pulling down on that page to refresh my transactions - Will this gesture work inline with the refresh one? Do you have to specifically pull down on an account to show the insights for that account specifically? Maybe feels like there should be a button or icon to press as well

Also really looking forward to being able to re-order pots! (and show/hide!)

[betalogic]

Love this and love the direction its going, I think the spotlight should have the option to be pinned at the top or hidden behind the pull down gesture - personally I’d like to be able to pull down to see it (how would a refresh work in future tho??) but I can see a lot of replies saying they want it there pinned.

Also, not sure if it was just for demo purposes but that blur when viewing spotlights is HEAVY, I’d rather there be no blur at all

[betalogic]

Not sure why I’ve never noticed this before but does the top banner almost strobing bother anyone else?

[DazF (Daz Fisher)]

This is EXCELLENT news !
I appear to be in the minority but actually think the swipe down works and also think the blur puts the ‘spotlight’ on the information.

Anyway it is fantastic to learn that full customisation is being taken on board and something which I believe will put Monzo back at the top and pushing the boundaries in banking again!
And I for one am very happy about this

[aldocapra]

Great improvements lately across the app - especially the new Overview layout

Personally, would be fantastic if within the Payments tab, we could use the swipe right/left gesture to move between the sub-tabs Payments and Schedules!

Open to hear your thoughts Community and Monzo team !

[dylanslewis (Dylan Lewis)]

Sorry about this one, it’s related to dark mode enabled in Monzo but not iOS. Will be fixed in this week’s TestFlight

[Carlo1460]

I’m almost certain my account details used to be here, am I going mad?

( as became too much, surprisingly makes a difference when viewing the app and with my Bellroy )

[BristolMatt (Matt C)]

Not going mad, mine show there…

[Carlo1460]

I’ve not took close looks at the detail around the monzo bit

The pink is nice, but become to see it’s far too bold for a plain Jane like me

I also couldn’t match it with anything, which would annoy me.

I’d never go though.

[Carlo1460]

@Carlo1460

I’ve not took close looks at the detail around the monzo bit

I’ll fetch the old one out this week and see if the detail has improved.

[projectfortytwo (Chris)]

@samuelbranter

We’re also exploring how to split the Pot balances between personal and joint

This is absolutely fundamental for me. Please fix this.

That said, the rest is looking like a huge improvement. Looking forward to this coming to Labs.

[BristolMatt (Matt C)]

@dylanslewis not sure if this has come through via Monzo chat (in-app) but I’ve been experiencing issues with bill splits whenever I turn the overview screen on. It has just happened again:

Bill split issue?

Anyone else having issues with bill splits? My partner sent me a request from his personal account to my personal account but when I’ve accepted the bill split it has taken the money from the joint account. I’ve raised it with chat but wondered whether anyone else has experienced this?

I raised this last week but still waiting for a response and wanted to check that your team are aware of it.

2. You had a card, then replaced it with . Now you seem to be back on despite everyone only being eligible for one neon replacement card. How?

I’m intuiting that the answer is schenanigans
