I wrote extensively on the forum about this before, and - who knows - perhaps their update includes this - but the feature that seems missing from Trends is, like, long-term planning. How do you step back and see the big picture? Where all your stuff is going? How you could redirect X amount saved from Y to an investment in Z and how that would look over various timeframes. How could you save up for this or that thing, and would it be better to debt-finance it, when would it be paid off, etc. None of that “financial control center” stuff is there, and it’s what I would love to see
Interestingly, this sort of thing seems to be (broadly) the top votes in this topic - I didn’t think it would be:
While we’re waiting until next week for @avb , @lj and @RoreEricaOkoh to stop teasing us drop the epic Trends update next week (and for the team to get better, obvs), I thought we could entertain ourselves by asking two questions: where does the app need improvement? What next for Trends?
Question 1: If Monzo could only iterate / fix / improve ONE part of the app, what would it be?
poll
Question 2: Assuming an expansive definition of Trends, what 3 things do you want?
poll
Question 3: Same …
Indeed, future period projection seems even more popular than category budgeting, which I suspect will end up in Trends and include connected accounts. It’ll be fine but not life changing.
