Pots - Feedback Thread 🍯

[nickh]

I deleted my coin jar pot (couldn’t cope with looking at the feed), but it’s still showing under “summary”.

It says it has £1 in it - is this a known issue?

@zancler talked about this in his Q&A

Monzo Staff Weekly Q&A - Zander Brade (Lead Product Designer)

Ha, good question. We designed it! We just didn’t have time to build it when we were doing pots v1, as it would have required a new API for image uploading, if I remember correctly. We were discussing letting you pic an image from Unsplash ’s library, but we released as early as possible and it missed out. Maybe I can convince someone to build it during Monzo Time…

The ability to schedule payments into pots is on the latest TestFlight :

[gallifreyangirl]

Yes you right just checked it’s there on my iOS res flight app version thanks.

[davealexhou]

Aw unspalsh integration would be perfect if possible! I use their app for my wallpapers

[ASKendrew]

Or maybe just let us upload our own pictures?

It’s telling you the net transfer amount for the current month for the pot. I imagine it’s saying you took £1 out of it (used to be indicated in green) overall since it no longer exists!

As such, it’s not an issue, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.

[nickh]

Cs got back to me and said it would disappear when the new summary period started.

The £1 doesn’t even make sense, because when you go into it, it shows £6.70 withdrawn (which was when I closed the pot).

Not a major issue, but I think that when you close the coin jar, it should remove it all together.

[Feathers]

Yeah, it can’t do that since the closing transaction will affect the months figures so needs to be shown somewhere.

Was there no other coin jar activity in the month?

[nickh]

I turned it on for a week… got fed up with the feed being spammed by coin jar… then deleted the pot.

I genuinely have no idea where the £1 came from lol.

I’m running 2.6.0 and recently noticed the balance on my Pots has gone to a bolder bold. Its more bold than my regular balance. Looks weird and out of place

[Toblerone]

It suprised me, but it’s already growing on me, quite like it now.

[glasgow]

Does this version have the pot goals in it?

[lewisking]

Yep

[Jackcrwhitney]

I dislike the bold too. I find my app has the numbers non bold but they update as I scroll thorough the pots which is even stranger. Also the card balance isn’t bold for me, only pots?

[lewisking]

Has there been any thought on being able to tag movements TO pots into categories? I move all my credit card payments into a pot ready to pay at the end of the month and would love to still see my category spending in Summary.

[Toblerone]

Why is scheduled payments into Pots limited to daily, weekly, monthly?

My only friction with using Monzo is that it doesn’t cater for non-monthly pay days, such as 4 weeks and I wish there was more of a list like this to choose from:

For pots it’s no huge deal, I have an IFTTT work around, but it feels like the more things introduced which don’t cater for other dates, the further away that is from changing

[TomEdwards]

Nope, not yet. Goal will be coming to Labs soon I think

[glasgow]

Yeah I was hoping it might be in TestFlight already but it’s provably hidden behind a feature flag this now

[nickh]

I struggled to se the benefit of “goals”for pots.

It’s what Nationwide has, and I just don’t get it.

Can someone give me a real world example where it would be beneficial?
