Done ✅ Make it possible to dismiss the “getting started” screens from the Monzo Plus tab

I offered some thoughts on the Plus/Premium tab a year or so ago:

The Monzo Plus Tab

I see the attraction of the Monzo Plus tab , but it feels wrong to me.

The top bit of the tap is about ‘getting started’. But I’ve got started now - and I’m not sure of the utility - it’s just in the way.

The bottom part (the list of features) feels confused. The way that it works differs according to features so, for example, you can:

• tap on the “Holographic card” and just get some info that you tap to dismiss
• tap “Offers” to access features that aren’t available in any other part of the app
• find links to other parts of the app (including the very confusing “advanced roundups” one - which just takes me to my roundup pot without any other explanation or how to enable that features).

So I think the Plus tab is a fail. It’s a nice idea, but another card in the carousel (like “Things you can do with Monzo” might have been a better option to help users discover functionality. If there’s going to be a tab, it feels like there needs to be some tighter design language and consistency in approach.

I can’t say that my thoughts have changed - because the tab hasn’t changed!

I can live with not liking consistent design choices, but the confused approach and different ways of working breaks it for me.

And, to the specific matter at hand, I’m never gonna go for advanced roundups (because they don’t round anything, they’re just a savings accelerator) so I’d quite like to stop being faced with them, please!
