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

Not sure I am. The homage is denoted by the word home on the button at the bottom left of the app.

And if you’re on this screen and press home you don’t leave it.

Not sure how many times I have to try and explain it to you :man_shrugging:t3:

You haven’t explained anything. Send some screenshots.

Go through the list I wrote and let me know.

There is a homepage and here it is for clarity.

Yes - that’s the screen in the old layout that I always called the Home Screen because that’s where it takes you when you tap the Home button at the bottom left of the screen.

I’ve just switched back to the old layout and it still works this way for me. If I kill the app, the next time I open it, it opens on the screen with my current account transaction list.

Seems to have some button confusion then.

As natively a Home Screen would be the list of all your accounts etc,

When loading old app style, scrolling through carousel takes me back to the main account when pressing home - fair enough, shortcut to the front/main account transactions, makes some kinda sense.

Edit: say you’ve 20 pots and 5 linked accounts, save scrolling all through, tapping home takes you to the main account. Makes total sense.

In payment screen and I press home, it takes me to the Home Screen (as it should, to the main screen of the app, with accounts listed).

No, if I go into the payment screen and tap Home, it takes me to the carousel, not the screen that you’re calling the Home Screen. When I saw @SkyBlue’s list, I worked through it and it did the same for me - took me back to the carousel, not the screen with the list of accounts.

Edit: In fact, the only time I see what you’re calling the Home Screen is when I tap on my photo at the top left of the carousel in the old layout.

Yes.

The app isn’t functioning correctly, or is functioning but has very weird way of doing things.

If you open app on the landing page of transactions, then go to payments, then press home, it takes you back to the account feed.

If you load app, go from account feed, to Home Screen, then payments, then press home, it takes you to the Home Screen, not the account feed.

Neither are wrong examples, however, the Home Screen isn’t an account feed, and that’s where our views differ.

If that’s what Monzo call the Home Screen then I’m happy to go along with that. I’m just saying that when I was using Monzo as my main account, I always thought of the account feed as home because that’s where the Home button took me :slight_smile:

I guess it’s a moot point now, anyway, with the old layout disappearing for everybody eventually.

I have only been referring to the old version pointing out that it’s better than the new version.

I said that the new version now uses account edit screen as the homepage.

Which I don’t like.

I much prefer the current app and accessing the account edit screen via the top left hand side.

I wonder if there are any stats on this, as I would have thought that one account users would be the majority (or close to it).

Monzo have said that the new layout is partly to sort new features (Wealth etc). I hope they launch that at the same time they launch this new format - otherwise they will have unhappy customers who have already chosen their preferred layout and find it changed etc.

I guess the argument is that they want to encourage multi account users, it’s in their best interest for users to have a primary account, a joint account, flex, savings etc. single users are, I would blindly assume, not the most profitable?

Quite likely. But without a good single user experience, they are unlikely to buy into the Monzo ecosystem.

Very subjective to every individual.

One person saying it’s bad doesn’t account for 7 million others.

Some may prefer the new layout, even as a sole product user.

Correct, it is subjective.

My opinion should matter, considering Monzo asked me for it.

As a single-account user, I want the option of choosing what page the app opens up on.

Allowing me to choose what the home button does solves that issue and I am not suggesting that my way is the best for all.

The new design has achieved very little in my opinion. It has moved the edit accounts location from the top left via a cog (the correct place) to the homepage, found by pressing the home button.

I have had in the past 3 pots and two cards linked to my Monzo and all I need to do is swipe left or right to access them. It wasn’t difficult.

Press home as many times as you wish, you do not leave this page.

Scroll down, press home, back to the top you go.

Press payments, press home, back to this screen you go.

Press trends, press home, back to this screen you go.

Or achieved a better overview of your account(s), brief overview of your transactions, and removes a whole load of rubbish from Home Screen.

It is always interesting to see others views though.

I’m not sure any bank has such flexible app versions (excluding revolut where you can add widgets, but not really change the overall design).

That is not the home page, though.

That’s the account edit page. It is a settings page that allows you to choose what account you want to view. If you close and restart the app, you must navigate to that page separately.

That is the page that will replace the homepage of the new app.

You’re being obtuse.

You’re still wrong but I’m bored of explaining it to you now.

They are not overhauling the design at this stage.

You are intentionally misleading people with your response. Please amend this reply, as you have got this wrong. You have failed to tell others that to get to the screen in your screenshot, you first need to press the account edit button on the top left of the homepage.

That screenshot is their homepage.

The top upgrade button showing with the star in it indicates it’s the Home Screen.
