Yep looks chunky and should tick off some much needed budgeting things.

Well done Monzo.

Spooky pay early! Haha nice

Will certainly make this 5 week month a little better

I feel like I’ve cheated myself out of a little surprise here, by reading this!

New beta has just dropped for Android …
I would like to say, as a partially sighted user, the update they have made to the view long card number option is greatly appreciated. Well done, amazing accessibility!

That’s a great feature!

Delving into 3.5.0 now… can’t find anything else new just yet.

Viewing the PIN number also is easier too. Not sure if it’s just when you’ve got fingerprint enabled though

[anon99402360]

Doesn’t work for me at all. Just locks up on the fingerprint scanner bit.

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

I don’t see a difference here (Android 10, fingerprint auth enabled) - it looks the same as pre v3.5.0 but works OK for me on accessing via fingerprint auth.

IIRC the big change is under the hood to utilise the new HTTP/2 features they mentioned recently to speed up feed and pot updates

[AR2018]

Just been giving 3.5.0 a test drive, and noticed the home button no longer flies through home / pots / Things you can do section, only takes me home now.
Wounder if this is something to do with the upcoming Pots Reordering function being implemented soon possibly.

[swok1080]

Works for me but it’s stopped going to “things you can do”

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

Same here ()

[WillP79]

Oh thank goodness. That was the most annoying click in the app!

[kolok]

The app seems to open much quicker, in particular updating the transaction feed

[sticklebricks]

My upcoming DD now shows the pot it’s being paid from which is a great!

[AR2018]

This thread seems to have gone quiet, just got 3.6.0 and surprised not to see any breakdown from last week.

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

It wasn’t very exciting this week or last

[robsug]

General improvements I think. The speed the home button switches accounts is noticeably faster and smoother for me, for example.

I’m happy they’re tidying things up and optimising

Has anyone noticed the text size looks bigger in places?

Some bits are cut off and the larger size looks janky on my tiny screen. I’ve asked on Twitter, but silence…
