Monzo redesign: a retrospective

Have to say, overall I do really like the new design. As you say it’s a lot more modern, and it’s just as quick and intuitive to use as you’d expect from Monzo.

Still waiting to see how it works with multiple accounts/cards as I only have a personal account in there, but I’m hopeful some of my credit cards will be available soon.

I had a quick look back and the two things I raised as issues back then are still issues now.

I won’t go into historical balances because there’s a whole other thread on that, but I’m still finding the way the back button on Android operates really frustrating. I don’t know any other apps that constantly throw the user out if they use the back button instead of returning them to the previous state. I really thought a function so fundamental to the way the app works on the OS would have been fixed by now but it just hasn’t happened.

Otherwise as I say, I’m happy with the new design and I look forward to seeing Monzo build on it.
