Labs Feedback: Summary šŸ“Š

The design looks awesome but having poked around for a good couple of minutes ā€¦ how do I change my target spending value for the month, and in the new view how can I even see the target total value without adding together the spent value and the too spend value?

Instead of a drop down to choose mobeth can we just swipe left or right as thatā€™s how it was before and itā€™s a lot easier and faster

Or at least use bank transfer over card

Loving it so far, below is a list of points Iā€™ve picked up on, I know some of them are planned to be ironed out anyway as this is MVP, but thought Iā€™d still list them:

  1. Currently it doesnā€™t seem to include any data from the prepaid cards, is this going to be included in the future? Thanks for pointing this out @BethS

  2. If you decide to turn off the feature will your previously set targets and data still be there, vice versa if you turn it back on after you turned it off or when it fully launches will any changes you originally made still be there?

  3. I had to set my salary twice for it to permanently take effect (Bug)?

  4. Will there be a way to only exclude part of a transaction from your spending? For example I paid for my friends cinema tickets together along with mine, they all then FPS me the money, so for now Iā€™ve excluded the whole transaction from my spend as my ticket price is only a small proportion of the actual spend. I presume this ties into offsetting balance increases against payments.

  5. I understand from the event that Direct Debits are yet to be included in the calculation so that cool.

  6. I understand that this is the initial versionā€¦ but on previous sneak peaks it showed the ability to mark an item as any category + mark it as expenses. Is this still planned along with similar for holidays and the ability of what appeared to allow you to mark transfers as internal to yourself even though it was going out of monzo? (I think this was a new category).

  7. Being able to swipe left and right on the dial to go to different months may be easier than clicking on the little month header.

  8. Photo below shows a quirky bug with the text:
    fullsizeoutput_102a

  9. Even though my salary is set the photo gives the indication itā€™s not:
    fullsizeoutput_102b

Thatā€™s it for now :sweat_smile: canā€™t wait to see the feature evolve! :smiley::rocket::monzo:

Iā€™m sure youā€™re sick of seeing this by now but Iā€™d definitely like to see support for uneven pay dates if thatā€™s possible. Iā€™m paid on the last working day of each month (or the day before if thatā€™s a non-working day).

Not a big deal but it means the summary is two days off for me this month as an example.

As Monzo doesnā€™t yet support joint accounts and only works with 1 credit agency my salary is staying with my other bank where my salary, my wifeā€™s salary and my bills all come out of the same account. Iā€™m not a complete dinosaur with my finances and do love my Monzo account as my spending account. The main reason is the spending tab and the ability to set targets. With this latest release it looks like me and Monzo want to go in separate directions. They want over Ā£500 paid in, for the above reasons I wonā€™t be paying in more than that. As a result this means Iā€™ll never be able to set my pay day? Fingers crossed this becomes more flexible soon.

Me too, although I donā€™t get my first pay into Monzo until tonight, so they have a few hours to improve it :wink:

Not useful for me with the way I add money weekly but I like the layout/design (I always just retrospectively adjusted my targets to make them fit) so Iā€™m keeping it.

Would it help you to moving money over to add monthly and relying on it to guide you? :thinking:

Appreciate this!! :raised_hands: Iā€™m sure the people designing this will, as well!

Weā€™re looking at including Direct Debits in committed spend in the future :ok_hand:

My only fault I can find at the moment is it takes into account money paid into Potsā€¦ so I got paid on 24th but Iā€™m already in the redā€¦ which isnā€™t right because I transferred lots into different pots from last months pay on 24th after pay dayā€¦

Does this make sense to anyone except me? :rofl:

So, because itā€™s doing it for the full month and you whacked loads in pots straight away, itā€™s put you straight in the red?
