The new app is required so that all customers can use the new layout without manually enabling it
It does still have the code for both layouts in it though - I was able for a brief period to turn it off and on in Labs before they removed the toggle
Once all customers have the new layout enabled server side they will presumably delete the old layout
Their reasoning for the delayed rollout was to be able to check that nothing went wrong that they could not pause, but I imagine spreading out helpdesk calls is a factor as well
The new look is just awful - horrendous.
Together with the still missing ability to download statements for arbitrary dates it has just about caused me to ditch Monzo completely. Starling gets ever better in my opinion.
Admittedly I have closed my Starling two weeks ago, but what has changed for the better app wise? It still looked near identical to a year ago when I last saw
I’m happy with the features and really excited about the prospect of pots for bills and a salary sorted, these could prompt me to fully switch.
My only wish would be dark mode please, the old app was great being dark and bright white triggers migraines for me unless I put brightness very low. Please at least give an option?
Overall I think its a good change.
Only issue is with the animation flow. The pull down for the overall overview does not seem super smooth. And from that screen you would expect the “Home” button to bring you back to the list view instead of doing nothing… hmm…
@bruno within the new navigation, is there any way to see what your balance was at the start/end of each day like was possible using the pulse graph in the previous nav? With the new nav I can only see what my balance is right now rather than at various historical date points in my feed.
This is really important for me (and others too I’d expect) to track my historic balance and help track my spending with an external spreadsheet.
Thanks!
