You can now set any Pot to automatically round up your spare change from transactions. So no more having to remember to name it ‘Coin Jar!’ (You can still only round up into one pot at a time).
And, we’ve also cleared up how Coin Jar looks in the app so it’s not cluttering up your feed.
First of all, thanks, my feed is looking a lot nicer! Overall, this is a net win and I like this change. However, I do have two bits of feedback:
I’m not sure I like that the main figure shown in the transaction list is the rounded-up one. I realise this is a difficult design problem, but it looks odd to see “Coffee shop £3.00” when the transaction was £2.40 (for instance). I’d prefer something where the main number was £2.40 and smaller text underneath showed an additional £0.60. Maybe this isn’t feasible, but it looks strange to me and makes it harder if I need to match up transactions with receipts by scanning down the list.
This causes some weird search interactions. There are no “Coin Jar” transactions in my list, but if I search for “Coin Ja” they appear. If I search based on amount for “<£2.80”, my coffee transaction example above appears in the results, but still listed with an amount of £3.00.
Again, I know these are difficult UI problems to solve, and appreciate this is a first take on combined transactions. The above is not meant to be ungrateful, but feedback for consideration as you evolve the design.
I want to see what I have spent and then see what was added, as mentioned by @jzw95 I think they should be split e.g.where it says added to pot it could say added to pot 24p perhaps?
Also under balance maybe have a running total for that day maybe just under overdraft limit or remove overdraft limit and have that only show when you go into it then move that total below?
So happy about this update! I think this is the one people have been waiting for awhile… I turned mine off after a bit because it was cluttering up the feed. I’m sure with this built in now we can have even more embedded transactions and more functionality.
I agree with this, I would prefer this viewing format since I note down transactions manually as I budget and it’s harder to match things up with the rounded figure.
