Notes might be same but App on Android is still quite a bit behind IMO.
Whatās missing? I can just think of search (much better on iOS)ā¦
Iāll name a few
- Search on Android is very v basic
- No travel reports
- No in-app fingerprint/biometrics authorisations
- No Location based security
- Pulse has spending details on the graph
- iOS help has new sneak peaks
- No widget
- iOS has more options to send transection feedback
- Direct Debits donāt have any details on Android
I am sure there are other small things which all put together makes iOS experience much more nicer and beautiful.
Add āDirect Debit info/details screenā to that list too.
(It still looks like this - Direct Debits & Standing Orders Feedback / Suggestions / Ideas)
I donāt believe that itās happened beforeā¦
Ofc I only keep track of Android changelogs So I canāt be 100% sure
Fingerprint support has been on Android for some time now
Location based fraud protection has been on there for as long as I can remember. Perhaps you are talking about something more specific.
That is just for app unlock not for in-app stuff
Itās not on Android or at least there is no option for me to enable or disable it. Here is an explanation from a Monzo staff what is this for;
Sorry, my mistake. I was reading the Starling forum immediately before reading this and still thought I was in Starling world. What a numpty I am.
The Monzo team is on fire Squashing all the bugs
Hereās 2.0.2 with some extra fixes
weāve done some internal refactoring of late, the hotfixes have just fixed a couple of small things we accidentally broke 2.0.2 fixed bank statements
Version 2.0.3
Likely another couple of bug fixes
Summary has now vanished from labs as it should have done days ago
Apart from maybe being a little less reliable, does the beta version have anything else? Like sending back extra logs?
I thought Iād just give my 2c here, despite the name āBetaā Iāve not found Monzo to be in the least bit unstable! Rock solid is how I would describe it and Iāve been using the beta for well over a year
I donāt believe thereās any further log collection, but I canāt say for sure. I think it wouldāve been pointed out explicitly if there was.
The beta just gives you access to features a week early and I think thatās well worth it
Thanks!
Maybe a Monzo employee could confirm whether itās just an early version or there are any more analytics being collected.
Tempted to sign up anywayā¦
My understanding is that the beta version is basically the final version that will go out.
So feature x is built and tested internally but the android team, then rolled out to an internal beta team.
When theyāre confident itās ready for release, itās pushed to the Google Beta group.
Where we then get to play with it for a week. In this time itās not really expected to find any problems, itās just getting more device testing etc.
Then it gets pushed to the release for the world.
The difference between the beta and final being very minor.
Or, thatās my understanding of the process. With the iOS version being the same process, but done on alternate weeks.
Monzo have a handy dandy blog post:
Which explains all about how their Beta releases work I hope @JohnE (& everybody else) finds it interesting
Thanks! This is a good post.
Another day another patch
Version 2.0.4
Will update if I find out whatās been fixed
This is generally how it works within the Google play store anyway.
Rolling out from Beta to Production involves clicking 1 button, Creating a new release takes a few steps (still much easier to release on Android than on iOS in my opinion.
