Ooh locked pots
Even more fun from 2.26.0
ETA on Monzo Chat reply times is live already
Bank logos have been added to the Bank Transfer screen
We just need the bank icons to appear elsewhere in the app too. Itās starting to look a lot like Christmas
They had to release it whilst Iām at the shops too Iāll tear it down if nobody else has by the time I get back
Am I being really picky that I donāt like the speech bubbles in the new chat. Theyāre a bit too rounded, I think, makes the text near the corners odd.
Some awesome updates though!
2.26.1 Brings with it: A quick fix for pot roundups by the looks
I kinda like the bubbles Itās just the current way of app design on the Android side of things - Googleās Material Design 2.0 brings with it a lot of smooth, round & bubbly shapes haha
Another change from this weekās beta (2.26.0)
The sign in / sign up screens have seen a delightful refresh!
Thereās now:
- Animations
- More graphics
- And a much clearer sign in / sign up flow
- Before this, the login button was some small text below a sign up button - now the login is much more prominent (yay ) and the sign up flow now āforcesā you through the wicked info pages
Nice one Monzo , I recorded a video for anybody who doesnāt fancy logging out & back in just to see it
Love animations like these. Hope they make an appearance throughout the app.
A small amount of judicious animation might go a long way. The countdown timer in Starlingās app is a good example of adding a little bit of (non functional) delight.
Agreed. Although I do see value in general UI/navigational motion and animation too. Can really help make obvious what to do or whatās happened.
Watching someone complete the new account flow yesterday there were a few times where we were unsure anything was happening because it was a static screen for example. Wasnāt even a spinning ring (which I hate).
Hereās version 2.27.0!
Changelog:
I thought we had shared tabs already (I donāt often love iOS but the TF changelogs seem a bit better )
Iām guessing that this means Tabs have come out of Labs - Must be true, it rhymes
APK Link: Soon https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/monzo/monzo-bank/monzo-bank-2-27-0-release/monzo-bank-2-27-0-android-apk-download/
Anybody want to know more than the changelog reveals?
Letās see whatās hidden away inside the app
Weāve got a few new assets, bumping the total from 263 to 272
(New chat icon perhaps? Followed by a wicked new Monzo logo (which will look familiar to iOS users) & a new split the bill icon)
Monzo might have something to shout about soon
Thereās some more but I couldnāt spot them
There might be a way to āPay Anyoneā in the app, even if theyāre not a Monzo user No idea how Monzo are achieving this but time will tell. Besides that, thereās some more work going into bill splits by the looks, Tabs might be on its way out of Labs and for anybody looking to split the cost (or stc_
) - some changes have come along for that too
Last but not least, the āChat with usā button is now blue instead of orange plus the wait times are the lowest Iāve seen them in weeks! Congrats Monzo your Blitz last night mustāve been highly effective
EDIT
One more that slipped through the cracks
Go look at a transaction (thanks @Peter_G for prompting me to look in the app itself for changes )
Is the āAdd notesā option on Monzo transaction notifications new?
Iāve been hoping they would add this for a little while as it is already a feature on iOS
Yeah, it was just enabled today
Itās pretty neat. Love to see what else they can do with notifications.
I know 3D Secure approval in notification is a popular request. What else could be possible?
Just tried to use shared tabs from the transaction screen, itās created it but the only way I can get back to the shared tab is via the transaction screen again.
Are shared tabs collected anywhere else? I expected them to be listed on the payments tab
Payments > Request?
Well I feel like a fool
Thanks!
