Paid for Dark Mode?

I have seen a lot of demand for a Dark Mode and interested to see if people would pay for it?

Appreciate its not usually something people would pay for, but given the demand for it and the need for Monzo to make a profit ASAP (so people keep saying).

How much would you be willing to pay for it?
Or not?..

I won’t use it when it’s free, so I wouldn’t pay for it.

Dark mode is for serial killers.

Nothing. I will use it if/when it arrives, but I won’t be affecting the murder rate until then.

It would be extremely shitty if they attempted to charge for an OS feature.

Almost like putting a totally free service like credit score in a paid package.

Oh, wait…

It would be absolutely ridiculous to charge for that.

Yes, exactly like that.

Completely different really.

You can still get your credit karma report for free. You just go to their website. If dark mode was only paid for, you wouldn’t be able to get it for free elsewhere.

Oh I was talking about both being a shitty decision.

I do like dark mode but it’s not really a priority at the moment. In my view anyway.

Need for profit or not I think they would alienate even the most die hard fan if they tried to charge for dark. mode or any other lame ass feature that was part of the OS. Should they also charge for being able to use Touch ID on iOS?

I would pay Ā£-30. That is the going rate for compensation when you make a complaint to Monzo right? ā€˜Cause that’s exactly what I’d immediately be doing if Monzo thought they could charge for implementing dark mode, a standard iOS feature… :rofl:

I would pay £0 :sweat_smile:

Credit Karma does it for free because they can try and upsell credit cards and loans and they have obligations with GDPR and data access… its not free for 3rd party companies to integrate… how people dont understand this…

On a side point I think its pretty crazy EVERY new thing people start moaning that it will be pay walled or ā€œhow much would you payā€ crap… its crazy people leap that everything will have a charge when a few features monzo provides are behind a paid tier.

When I run my legacy bank app I get a notification to remortgage and credit card offers on the homepage trying to upsell me where as monzo is far far better.

Okay then.

NatWest give you this for free in their app. No ads.

NatWest have not bombarded me with ways to get credit due to this being integrated into their app.

It’s a free service that should be free.

I would quite happily pay £1 per month for this.

If it helps Monzo and I get dark mode then win win in my mind.

There must be some development required either as a one off or ongoing basis and perhaps not a priority - unless they could gain revenue?..

Would definitely be the straw that made me leave Monzo, if they did something like this

Monzo are not a charity, and nor is software development funded in this way.

There are better ways to support Monzo - use your Monzo account as your main bank account.

Dark mode will be ready when it’s ready. It is effectively a 100% interface redesign and so not a quick job.

Its NOT FREE FOR THE COMPANY PROVIDING IT!

Maybe you are not eligible for the offers.

RBS/Natwest pay to have it in the app and for them it was no doubt cheaper to implement than the full monzo push experience and it would keep a few customers happy. Its also opt in before it works so many wont have enabled it as mobile use will be a lot lower than engagement with monzo keeping their costs lower for giving it to you. Then they also have their lovely exchange rate and charges they tap on for you using your card abroad to help eat the cost as well as loans and credit cards so business wise rbs paying for the few that use it to keep them in their ad app makes it worthwhile where as monzo has passed the cost on directly.
Given how everyone pleeps that they shouldnt be charged because they can get it for free elsewhere then why dont they simply get it for free elsewhere since its a low value add feature for said users anyway.

First of all, no need to shout.

I’m aware that they might not be free for the company, but nothing is. The free Monzo account isn’t free for Monzo to run. Paid, premium accounts should not have something that you can get for free elsewhere, in my opinion.

I’m very much eligible for offers, as I can see on the app what I am eligible for. I’m not bombarded and I still see my credit score in the exact same way as Monzo for free.

You are obviously welcome to disagree but please do not respond to me in capital letters when you disagree. Plenty of people agree with my opinion so I’m not some random outlier spurting nonsense.
