I’ve become aware of the new app layout and given it a go. I turned it off straight away.
It is that bad.
I get it that some people might like it and that is fine, but if this becomes compulsory I will seriously consider moving to another bank.
The core differentiator for Monzo has always been the quality of the app experience vs legacy banks.
But this ruins it. It presents a confusing and ugly mess of an initial screen that gets in the way of getting to the screens you actually want to see.
I have different bank accounts for a reason. I don’t WANT to see them all together. If I did, I’d have a single account. A single stream of transactions is confusing and has no value at all as far as I can see.
If I did want to see all the accounts together, that was always there by dragging downwards.
When I start the app, I do not want to start with seeing everything mashed together in an ugly, consuming eyesore of a screen.
