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

It’s mostly just added spacing which lets each of the sections breath a bit more, and means that different types of information (accounts vs mini feed vs pots) are a bit more separated.

Glad to hear you like the other changes, hats off to @samuelbranter and @leepethers for stripping away the unnecessary info!

This is excellent! Some changes on screen order on Android, too.

If you’re in the business of taking requests for future blogs (or posts) it’d be fascinating to hear about how you’ve built Overview and what control you have on the backend vs needing an app update!

Ooh this would be an interesting blog post! TL;DR: Overview is the probably the most backend-drivable screen in the app and we’ve used the same framework for things like cards, pot details and more. However we’ve not gone fully backend driven, because there’s still lots of things that clients are better at, e.g. relative date comparisons (2 mins ago) or when you dismiss an item we do it locally first and then in the background after so you get immediate feedback.

How did you get the move money option? I still have Add money

Joint account, so the button is for moving money between the two.

Just had a thought. With the new home screen, search is at the top, with monzo accounts and then pots pretty much immediately under it - to me, this implies more than before that the search will search all your monzo transactions, not just main account ones (i.e. pot transactions will be included). But they still aren’t.

For me, the facts that pot transactions can’t be searched and there’s no easy way to find a list of transactions for a given virtual card are both major issues (Searching Pot Transactions), but with search being on a page covering them all now, it seems more important that this is resolved sooner, since I can only imagine many people would assume their pot transactions would be included here.

Hey, yep we completely agree the search experience isn’t great. We’ve got some short term plans to enable searching transactions all account types, and then later we’d love to extend the search to look at more than just transactions…

FYI 5.26.0 is now available on TestFlight which has nicer padding

Does this cost extra, like with RyanAir? :thinking: :rofl:

Please allow us to search bill split details :pray:

Also any updates on the account/card tap not bringing up the feed? Still seems to be an issue for me on the latest testflight

Yeh sorry this has been a really challenging bug. Two people at Monzo have it and I’ve sent them tons of test builds to try and fix. I think we’re very close to a solution now so we should have something in next week’s TestFlight build. In the meantime if it’s blocking you I’d recommend unpinning all accounts except one

This is kinda the layout I would love.

I fully support customisation so it can look like that for you.

(But for the love of the 'zo that’s not for me).

Would feel a bit more in order for me personally.

All accounts in form of the Flex widget would be great too.

What do you mean by this please?

It’s crashing when trying to view a connected account.

If all linked current accounts were in the same bubble type widget to tap through just as flex is shown in the image there.

But then Starling would also be in similar format (or whatever linked account).

Gotcha. Each account with its own card?

(I think that’s meant to be coming :soon: ?)

Aye cards is a better term.
