On reflection I think mine is more loss aversion. I saw it as similar but actually they are slightly different.

This is key for me - it isn’t finished. There is already work underway by the team to allow further customisation options to ensure that the overview page is displaying the things that matter to you in the order you prefer. If there is something key that you feel is missing, I guess being vocal about it isn’t a bad thing, as it may be something they can implement into the new design. But as a lot of people have been saying, it is highly unlikely that the general direction of travel is going to change at this stage.

But why? You can just use the preset and not do any further customisation if you don’t want to. I personally would like to be able to change the order of the sections to suit what I want to prioritise - I don’t see why that would be a bad thing?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Revolut for this reason, but I am not talking about being able to customise absolutely everything. They have an insane amount of customisation and it feels like it is a full-time job in itself to set it all up. I definitely find it overwhelming if there are too many options.
I am talking more about the ability to move sections into a different order on the home screen or hide things you don’t use. I love the fact you can change which cards are pinned, which is a great customisation option imo. It means I don’t need to have accounts at the top that I don’t care about cluttering my screen.
I think this forum shows that no one version of the app is going to work for everyone, but if you can give even a small amount of flexibility within the framework then it may well make it more tolerable for people (or make it work much better for them).

100% agree, there’s too much, but you can access everything from the hub and remove all the clutter from your Home Screen, or just add what is important such as analytics and upcoming payments widgets etc.

I switched to the new layout yesterday and have been forced to switch back today.
It just isn’t an intuitive way to use Monzo. I like the idea of trying to bring everything together. My biggest issue was not being able to view all of my pots vertically at a swipe like I could before. This is really important to me as I have 3 pots in my personal account and 12 in my joint account. We use this pots to organise bills and savings for various things every month. With our the ability to view them together easily the app becomes much more clunky to use.
If that could be added back in, I would probably get used to the new layout.
Hey
While the “card carousel” is likely to go, you can set the pot section to be horizontal I believe which I think would mostly accomplish what you wanted.
You can do this and without a swipe.
Press the little dots next to the pots, and change it to list.
@AlanDoe - This thread needs to go too.
