So my upcoming transfers and direct debits are now showing.
I have 25 upcoming lines on the Overview screen plus three three latest transactions.
Iāve lost track of the plan. Was it to consolidate the future transactions somehow?

Once this bad boy gets switched to true, balance will be restored:

Iām slowly but surely coming around to the new overview⦠2 things that would make things perfect (for me)ā¦
Please re-add the gestures for navigating away from pot views / returning to the overview!
Please let me shuffle around āActivityā, āPotsā and āOther accountsā sections!
In the Activity
card/section, Iād really like to see the activity of the other accounts as well, or at least the ability to enable it.
+1 on this, Iād like to be able to change the order of the sections
Yeah Iād definitely like a gesture for getting out of viewing a pot, and not just have to rely on the X
I donāt see why it canāt be a pull down gesture the same as how you can get rid of the activity feed once youāre in it?
I have the 14 pro max so reaching for that X at the top left is a bit of a pain. Connected accounts having their own cards at the top and customisable layouts is still top of my wish list though, I can deal with the pot Xās for now
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to drop in and give a little update on where weāre at when it comes to testing the new Home screen.
Last week we went live with the first half of our final pre launch experiment (dun dun dunnnn) where we started enrolling some customers into the new Home screen as soon as they signed up for Monzo. Today weāre going live with the second half where weāre enrolling a group of existing customers into the new Home screen.
We want to make sure that these existing customers get off on the right foot with the new Home screen so weāll be showing them a couple of intro screens and then giving two layout options for them to choose from.
If youāve already switched on the new Home screen via Labs, youāll be shown the same screens and will also have to select one of the layout options. Sorry if this messes with any customisation youāve already done, but we couldnāt avoid this one. Of course, youāll be able to re-customise to get your app back just how you like it. While weāre in Labs, I canāt promise that this wonāt happen again but weāll avoid disruption where we can
If youāre yet to give the new Home screen a go, you might be included in our test group. And if youāre not included in the test, but you think it might be time to try out the new Home screen, head over to Labs to toggle it on yourself.
Doing proper experimentation is really important to us before we fully roll out the new Home screen to make sure that we know how these changes affect the way customers use the app, and are not making it harder for customers to complete important tasks. Plus the more customers that try out the new Home screen, the more feedback we get, the more bugs we can spot and fix, and the better we can make the experience before the full roll out.
The squad and I love checking this forum to see what you all think of the work weāre doing. We really appreciate all of the feedback that youāve given so far - we read everything so please keep your thoughts coming!
Hi. Looks great. The āmakeoverā prompt appeared for me just now (I had the new view enabled in labs). Unfortunately, I wasnāt expecting it and somehow dismissed it. Not sure if that will affect anything?
The āleft over untilā doesnāt work for me due to the way I use my Monzo account.
My Personal Account is always close to zero as I have a Bills pot and a Spending Money pot.
I use my Flex account for spending and then pay it off from my Spending Money pot (usually the same day).
Apart from that I love everything else youāve done!
Just flicked to the new format and itās definitely far more polished than it previously was.
One thing I noticed was showing connected credit card āavailable to spendā balances. I dragged my Flex out of the pinned accounts to sit alongside my connected credit cards. In the list, Monzo Flex shows how much is available/unused from my Flex limit. But it doesnāt do so for third party credit cards, which seems inconsistent. Would be nice to see the āavailable to spendā balance for all connected credit cards.
Iām surprised Monzo are at that stage. Iāve now got to the point were I have it switched on but it still doesnāt feel anything close to ready for general release to me.
A probably not complete list of nigglesā¦
On the whole so far - for me and others will disagree - it adds nothing, makes it harder to see my balances and separate āmineā from āoursā, and is harder and less intuitive to navigate.
Iāve turned it on because itāll be forced on me at some point but I just hope that it gets a lot better before itās rolled out widely.
Edit - I know the inconsistent card view niggle is the same on the old interface but Iām surprised it wasnāt fixed as part of this interface.
Whatās missing for you? (Edit: now in the post above!)
Itās been my daily view for ages now. Feels like itās good to go - with the proviso that changes continue to come!
Iāve moved over since pots view changed. I like it.
Another little inconsistency spotted.
My bills pots (across personal and joint accounts) just say personal or joint next to them.
But the personal and joint savings show āsavings potā rather than just āsavingsā next to them.
Surely in the pots section of overview you donāt need to say āpotā next to each of them; itās self evident?
I also just got the makeover instructional/choice flow. Nice
Thanks for these. Maybe itās a low bar, but Iām not sure that thereās a significantly different set of issues with these as with the old layout.
To work through them:
This has never been available (much to my chagrin). Personally, I want to see this figure so I can see how much money Iām getting in Premium interest and how much is protected by the Monzo FSCS vs partner banks. While I still have the need, I donāt think itās a redesign related issue.
It mostly feels okay to me on Android. Iāve found that Monzo has always had an issue with the function of the back gesture (last screen vs dumping you out of the app) and this design of anything helps with that. I think there might be a particular iOS thing here though?
This feels like a preference thing. Iām on record as wanting pots to be subdivisions of accounts (tap personal account, see personal pots; tap savings account, see savings pots) but it seems like a deliberate Monzo choice. So itās not a problem with the design as much as their conscious choice.
Two things here. The upcoming transactions thing should be fixed imminently (h/t @davidwalton). The new feed is designed as an aggregated feed of all accounts so again (unless we get a filter) it looks like itās not going to do what you want, alas.
Is this a deal-breaker? It would be nice to filter whatās on the feed, and even nicer to have a better place for non transaction alerts/events, but this feels kinda marginal to me (but obviously not to you!)
Thatās always been the case! So again not a problem with the redesign itself. That said, the main current card screen has been redesigned (and looks great) - I expect virtuals and Flex to move to that design soon.
Thereās so much in the app that itās difficult to change everything at once. Iām assuming that Monzo is redecorating the entrance hall (Overview) before doing the bedrooms (accounts and carousels). Maybe the new pots screen gives an indication of what it might be like though?
This feels like a preference thing. To me theyāre more prominent - theyāre on the main screen now rather than hidden behind a pull down gesture. And weāre told that weāll be able to pin non Monzo accounts up top soon, whichāll definitely make them first class citizens.
More than previously, I think? And the foundations for more.
For me, itās reached good enough stage. That doesnāt mean that I think itās finished and it doesnāt mean that Iām not worried that Monzo will stop before itās properly finished (like they did last time). But I do think itās excellent and I do think itās ready!
I opened my app and was very excited, I thought we were finally getting the option to move around the blocks and really start to customise the app so I was super confused as to what was happening. It does feel weird that itās being launched to new customers and people who arenāt opting in before itās got key elements like connected accounts at the top and customisable layouts because then changing these people over to even more change later on may be weird for them rather than getting them used to a block of new things all at once. It makes me worried that this means weāve seen the end of big changes.
I do really love the new view though, so if this was the furthest it got Iād still be very happy, but it also still has a lot of potential!
visually, itās decent.
Functionally, itās a step backwards.
The Activity box especially really frustrates me. Mine currently shows 1 upcoming direct debit, 2 card transactions from today, and 1 (out of 6) Direct Debits that went out this morning. Someone please explain the logic in showing me 1 of my 6 DDs. Who thought, āyeah, this guy has 6 DDs today, letās roll a dice and randomly pick one to show him.ā This is just crap, lazy, etc.
The Left to Spend graphic has gone.
I was confused about Total upcoming, because I thought it would be a sum of the upcoming payments in my feed, but I now realise itās the sum of the items in the Scheduled Payments tab due before the end of the month. I guess this kinda makes sense because all the other Spotlights are monthly, but I donāt find it useful.
ā¦
Iāve lost left to spend
Overview shows 4 transactions instead of 6 on the old screen
And instead Iāve got an option to create a pot permanently visible at the bottom of the screen
This isnāt progress.
Activity will show all upcoming transactions and 3 transactions that have already gone, so two card payments are most recent and itās showing the most recent direct debit to have left your account.
