Thought I’d create a separate topic for this now that voting has been enabled for stuff in the “Feedback & Ideas” section.
It’s really frustrating to not be able to add notes to external transfers on iOS. However, I think the bank details section currently on iOS, but not on Android, is really useful.
So this is my feature request:
Have a “Notes” section for external transfers on iOS (incoming/outgoing Faster Payments & Monzo-to-Monzo).
Have a “DETAILS” section in the transaction details of each transfer (like on iOS - see below) containing the original reference and the sort code & account number if a Faster Payment.
A partial repeat to another comment I have made elsewhere
My view on this is that it is critical.
In order to be able to “manage your money”, “understand your money” and all the other items Monzo shout about, you need to be able to categorise all transactions at a level deemed understandable and usable by the user.
The default categories are great, but as in many other places on this forum mention, they are not custom, and do not meet the needs of many. Custom tags are a very simple answer to this. But missing tagging across a large percentage of transactions breaks this.
Yes please!!! It really would help knowing why this transfer or someone paid me something and put it in the right category. Eg if someone is paying me back for a night out, I would like to be able to categorise it under night out
I can’t believe something like this needs votes to be honest. I completely get that the iOS and Android devs are different teams with different timescales and priorities etc. but surely something like this should have parity across both platforms by now?
Everyone I know that uses Monzo brings this up as one of the only negative points. On one hand, that’s great as all other talk is positive. However, having notes for ALL transactions would be very useful.
The Android app for Monzo allows to add notes or tags to a transaction, but the iOS app has no such thing. This would be quite useful in a case when the sender does not include a useful description and it seems weird that the iOS app is missing this functionality. Is there a good reason for that?
As far as I’m aware you can do already?
See my monthly direct bank transfer to my landlord - theres a section to add notes that’s prefilled with the payment reference.
