Android beta. Monzo 2.60.

[jwhiterz (Jack)]

It’s only on iOS at the moment. Android soon.

[jwhiterz (Jack)]

Summary hasn’t changed and is still 1 tap access by tapping left to spend or the pie chart icon.

@OllieFarnden

have you considered implementing a feature where the user would long press a payment to easily add to a shared tab or split payment? Could be some use

@bruno thoughts?

[WillP79]

What is it?

[jwhiterz (Jack)]

The ability to pull the draw all the way down to access the accounts screen.

Bruno gave a mini demo of it in a post above.

[WillP79]

So basically the same as pulling the card down?

[jwhiterz (Jack)]

I never had access to that but I think so yes. Has new animation to go with it.

[WillP79]

I guess it’s easier one-handed

Pulling the card down to access the Accounts screen has been in Android beta for a while (apart from v2.59.1 when it briefly disappeared)

It’s not pulling the feed draw all the way down, just the in-focus card. And it’s a nice touch too.

I have asked for this before but it always gets shot down by someone. Last time I posted about it I said…

@anon42572914

The way I see it working would be that the daily budget would fluctuate depending on the days when you underspend or overspend. If it says £30 per day but you spend £100 then the rest of the month would decrease slightly to £26.70 or something. And then days when you spend less than the budget would then increase it. You’d never get told you’re spending too much because it’d only be affecting the following days spends which is the same as what you would do for a monthly budget

and…

@anon42572914

I think it would make it easier for people to stick to their monthly budget. This is what I do manually each month and I find it helps a lot when sticking to a monthly budget.
Starting budget £500 (£16.12 per day)
I spend £13 on the first day meaning £487 (£16.23) - an increase due to the underspend on the previous day.
This would continue throughout the month and would fluctuate meaning several days of underspending would mean a higher budget for the remaining days.
1 big spend day wouldn’t drastically affect the daily budget as the “recovery” would be spread over the remaining days.

@davidwalton

If you’re only a Personal user (no connected credit cards) - then the Home ‘tap’ theoretically can’t switch to anything else

Currently, that’s true.

However, it would be useful if tapping the home button when you’re viewing a pot, took you straight back to your current account feed.

iOS 2.60.0 Feedback

• Couldn’t find the new Accounts screen gesture until reading about it on here.

• Accounts screen gesture seems laggy because the screen zooms out, then goes back to normal before moving to the Accounts screen - it would be better if the screen didn’t go back to normal and went straight to the Accounts screen.

• Really not a fan of my phone buzzing every time I use the new Accounts screen gesture.

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

After testing this, the requested behaviour you describe exists on Android 2.60.0. Example;

You have a personal account with 1 pot.
Scroll to the pot using the carousel.
Tap on ‘Home’ - the carousel ‘revolves’ back to your Personal Account card

If you’re on iOS and this doesn’t happen, there may be a parity issue here.

[awjdean]

The “tap Home to change accounts” feature has been built for iOS yet, but it’s good to hear that the functionality I described will be present when it is.

[gbotley (George)]

Anyone else finding Monzo’s feature parity more and more frustrating. It’s like selling a bike with only the back wheel in one store but then only the front wheel in another store. This isn’t me feeling hard done by in the slightest, but I feel there should be an a android thread and iOS thread if devs are to do this. I personally feel your dev team should be singing from the same hymn sheet and not be playing catch up with each other — which is what it feels like at the moment.

Why not A/B test the same stuff across both platforms simultaneously?

[aCCount]

This whole thing is in labs, so I don’t see the issue.

I would agree with you if, for example, iOS users were being offered mortgages and Android users weren’t, but when we’ve (mostly) opted in to test new beta designs, it seems reasonable to expect some differences between platofrms.

[gbotley (George)]

I suppose that is true in some respects

[maskill94 (Chris Maskill)]

I really feel like being able to swipe sideways on the transaction listing to scroll through different accounts would be really helpful.
It would provide a way to quickly navigate between accounts without having to go through all your pots.

I think my other main suggestions to improve the new design have already been brought up quite a lot. E.g. swapping help and summary, the disjointed feeling between the standard view and the accounts view (where the accounts view is a far more intuitive way of seeing where your money is). Also regarding the the 3 different levels the transaction drawer can be opened to, it doesn’t feel like a smooth user experience.
