Awesome!

American Express and Vodafone look great.

Can I request Bristol Energy, MBNA, and Newday get the same treatment? :slight_smile:

So, can we not tell if a payment is card or DD without clicking into the transaction? PayPal has DD and card payments from me for example, as does Barclaycard and a few others, knowing which kind of payment helps me instantly know what the payment was for

46

Thatā€™s a good point.

Iā€™d like to see the DD logo as a flair on the icons for direct debits, and maybe the MasterCard logo as a flair on card paymentsā€¦

As an Android user - Iā€™ve basically given up.

Iā€™m not a developer, I donā€™t know what the complications are - but itā€™s been well over a year and nothing big has changed on Android. Iā€™ve seen other similar apps on Android being built from nothing in this time. I know Android developers who could build an app in a week (or less). Itā€™s just getting silly now.

Iā€™ve gone back to my legacy bank for the time being and and Iā€™m testing a combination of legacy + Curve + aggregators. Open banking should be a game changer.

Iā€™m not closing my account in a huff or anything, Iā€™m keeping it open and just not using it as my main account anymore - but I do feel really let down by Monzo over Android.

Plus I canā€™t help feeling that the more mainstream Monzo gets, the more Android users theyā€™re going to be putting off forever. Seeing all the features and screenshots, getting excited - then signing up and thinking WTF is this half-arsed jumble of an app?

Bet they were apps of real quality and suitable for a bank.

As an Android user - Iā€™ve basically given up.

Canā€™t say I blame you, there really hasnā€™t been any substantial development of features for the Android app except Android Pay

50

Someone should work this out properly - but Iā€™m sure the non-development on Android time has been a lot longer than the initial time of iOS development before Android was started on.

So was the initial iOS app not worthy of Monzo?

51

The ā€œinitial time of iOS development before Android was tarted onā€ didnā€™t coincide with development of back-end payment processor and moving everyone to a current account, it is not comparable with current Android development. What has recent iOS development been like these last few months? It looks like they are completely reworking targets, meaning that both platforms will get v2 of this at a similar time. We should start seeing much more growth in Android features this year.

BTW: Iā€™m Android user

This is what was said throughout last year and at various times since - and pretty much nothing has changed.

I still havenā€™t had any more of mine beautified :confused: I guess the Monzo-loompas have better things to do than enter small energy providers like Bristol Energy and big credit card companies like MBNA :slight_smile: - theyā€™re probably busy working on Pear Pay! :smiley: muhahahaha

They pay you via DD? Or you pay them back for a service via DD?

60

I get paid by BACS but I have a direct Debit with them for the service they provide

61

Ah, I wondered where this had come from! Nice to see the updates rolling through.

62

Are there any plans to allow us to hide the direct debit reference from the transaction list view? After seeing some posts here, itā€™s clear some people seem to find the reference useful, but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever needed a direct debit reference, and although this topic title is More Beautiful Direct Debits in Your Monzo Account, I donā€™t think they will be truly beautiful until those ugly references are hidden (or at least until thereā€™s an option to hide them).

The reference could be displayed when clicking into the transaction perhaps?
