Monzo for Android - Teardowns & Deep Dives 👨‍💻

skeuomorphic

That’s too big of a word for a Monday

@redshift

The add money button could be moved to the pin reminder and card management buttons but I’d understand if it was more obvious as is for new users initially.

I like the “Add money” button where it is.

Even though I’m not a new user, I use it quite often. It’s the best way of sharing account details and when cheque imaging is introduced it’ll be needed for that.

Are we going to be begged/bugged in app for reviews.

[awjdean]

@nexusmaniac

<boolean name="trustpilot_csat_prompts_enabled" value="false" /> - New

Hopefully this is a dismissable feed item and not an annoying pop-up.

[nexusmaniac (Marcus, Backend Engineer 🛠️)]

I can’t be sure what this will mean yet

There could be several interpretations of this It could be a standalone link to TrustPilot, it could be a slightly tweaked rating system for Monzo chat, it might be scrapped altogether after an A/B test

It’s too early to tell with some things, everything I post on this thread should be taken with a pinch of salt as it may never see the light of day

[Ordog]

@awjdean

Hopefully this is a dismissable feed item and not an annoying pop-up

Sorry to disappoint but I think it may be a popup. It’s currently (or may have now stopped) being trialed with a small amount of people.

Trustpilot Reviews

That’s right, we’re testing a pop-up to see if simply inviting people to leave a review will improve the overall score. (I think it will). And we’re working with Trustpilot so that you’ll be able to leave a review without having to log in or create an account with them.

[awjdean]

That post was over a month ago, so hopefully it’s taken so long because they’ve been working on a dismissable feed item.

[Ordog]

Fingers crossed!

From reading on here most trials do last more than a month though but hopefully they get feedback that popups are annoying and they’d be better with dismissable feed items

Rewards

<string name="rewards_label">Rewards</string>

Who doesn’t like rewards?

New deeplink for pin recovery and YOUR MONZO (I’m very interested in the latter, can you tell? )

[tbutz (🏳️‍🌈 Producer of "low value commentary")]

The text for profile_email_same_address_message has a small typo…

You’ve entered the same email address as you’re currently using with yout account.

Hopefully they’ll correct in the next release. Silly Monzo!

[SouthseaOne (Michael)]

I now have a “pencil” icon next to address, phone number and email address that were not there before

This now makes it clear(er) that these three fields in the profile can be edited

Currently clicking the one next to my email address gives me a pop-up asking me to contact the COps

This is still preferable to clicking and getting no action at all, but does suggest the new feature flag is not enabled for me

It is sensible to find a safe way to change email address as it must be taking up at least some COps time better spent elsewhere (witness locked pot debate)

Version: 2.39.0

Changes:

<string name="affordability_description">Tell us a bit about you to see what we can offer. This won’t affect your credit score.</string>
<string name="affordability_select">Select</string>

This is a new set of strings, I’m hazarding a guess that it might be questions about your current financial status? Maybe how much you get paid, rougly? Pure speculation though.

<string name="fingerprint_invalid_settings_or_pin">Fingerprint authentication failed, please re-enable it in your account settings to try again, or enter your PIN to continue.</string>

This change was so massive, it deserved its own post

Savings Pots:

    <string name="pot_class_subtitles_flexible_savings">"Withdraw the next working day

Earn up to %2$s interest"</string>

Flexible savings, the Investec Savings Pot seems to have been renamed from Savings Pot to Flexible Savings Pot Perhaps it’s opening itself up to a greater selection of 3rd parties & the Monzo ISA?

Or perhaps I should’ve read the next diff

<string name="pot_class_title_fixed_savings">Fixed Savings Pot</string>

Extra bill split wording I re-installed the app to see if I’d see this new prompt but I didn’t it looks like it could replace the help screen text (eventually?)

<string name="external_cards_onboarding_amex_connected">Amex is now connected</string>
VS
<string name="external_cards_onboarding_card_connected">"We've connected your card"</string>

(Old first, new second)
The wording is no longer limited to Amex we knew that other cards would be integrated in the future (Amex is just first), this backs that up

<string name="pending_bill_split_subheading">Waiting for payments</string>

This is an interesting string
Looks like the Android app might, one day, get a section for pending bill splits! Making it that little bit easier to see which of your friends still owe you for lunch

<string name="shared_section_header_pending_payment_requests">Bill splits</string>
<string name="shared_section_header_shared_tabs">Shared tabs</string>
<string name="shared_section_item_no_payment_requests">None at the moment.</string>

This XML file is called menu_pick_your_card.xml - which leads me to believe that production of Monzo Plus cards has been sorted / is super mega close
Hopefully anybody who’s offered a Monzo Plus ‘thing’ will be able to pick their custom card colour in the not too distant future

…

More posts to follow… Stay tuned

Barclaycard will be a welcome addition.

As I eluded to in the final section of my main teardown of version 2.40.0 , Monzo Plus is close!!

Looks like colour selection is sorted the rollout (to my knowledge) is still limited but if you’re fortunate enough to have been randomly selected for Monzo Plus then prepare to be one of the first people to get a non-Hot Coral Monzo card
