So, Iām aware that Summary is being sunsetted on 21st December - I didnāt much require the detailed summary breakdowns but what I would love to make a case for is seeing the āleft to spend this monthās circle visualisation being moved back to the homescreen so I can always see how Iām tracking.
I give myself a monthly allowance in Monzo
and itās a great way for me to see if I havenāt spent for a few days that I have built up the pot a bit and can splash out on something I want. For instance, if I put Ā£600 of spending money in there Iām effectively giving myself Ā£20 per day as a āpocket moneyā budget.
If I donāt spend anything for the first three days of the month I have Ā£60 to play with and the visualisation tells me this.
The benefit of summary though was that you didnāt have to set a target or budget.
This made it work even when you might have different amounts to spend each month due to variable pay or if you released some money from a pot or you received some money as a gift, or whatever. It just worked without the need to set or edit overall budgets. It also worked for different accounts with different balances/left to spend amounts and trends just doesnāt.
So yes you can try and replicate it with trends and itās spotlight but but in my mind itās a poor imitation at best.
Trends is freezer chips compared to Summaryās Chippy chips.
I so agree! There was a beautiful simplicity to just being able to have that simple circle (which used to be been more prominent on the home screen!) and Iāve been playing around with Trends per the previous replies and itās just not what Iām after.
Itās a real First World problem, Iām aware, but I wish the Devs would find a way to include simple access to Summary from the home screen and not sunset it on favourite of Trends.
