We're working on a new look for the Monzo app

[redshift]

What does this iOS transition look like hah?

[designerrose (Maddie Roberts)]

Really like the new look but am missing being able to see the total amount of money in my account without having to add it up myself

[davidwalton (Award Winning Hot Coral Analyst)]

Hi Maddie & welcome

I’m assuming your using iOS? It isn’t yet shown on iOS (further details here)

The grouping together of an account and it’s pots and showing the group total is available in the Android app in the Accounts list display (tap on your profile icon or swipe a card down to see the Accounts list)

[Stevenjoyce]

Hope this come back to IOS too

It’s been said multiple times by the team it is indeed coming back very soon it’s just not been done yet. We really need a way to pin posts in the forum, but if you look here you can see bruno’s post about it:

We're working on a new look for the Monzo app

I’ve said this before a few thousand posts ago in this thread so it’s worth saying again… Don’t despair about feature parity. We parallelise development on both apps, this is good product management practice as we can learn twice as fast. A bunch of stuff I keep on saying will come to iOS later on, the reason why it’s not a priority to build it immediately on iOS is because we already know we want to build those things! In which case we’re better off testing the things we’re still unsure about…

There’s also another post about what’s still coming that I’ll add to this once I’ve found it.

edit: found it! We're working on a new look for the Monzo app - #4063 by bruno

panic over

This is something that I’ve commented on in a suggestions thread before, but I’m the lead tenant in my house, so my housemates pay into my account every month and I have a direct debit that sends out the full amount at the end of the month.

This isn’t taken into account when the app calculates my remaining balance each month, so I’ve got a couple of weeks with this glaring red message at the top saying I’ve got £0 left. A bit demoralising as I’ve only just been paid!

[robcrawford]

It’s not ideal, but as a workaround you could change your budget period to begin on the day that the direct debit comes out. That way your committed spending for the rest of the month is already accounted for (and won’t put you in the red).

[KH1988 (Kieren)]

Or mark the direct debit as exclude from summary…

[Lewis_P]

Can you exclude direct debits from summary?

[robcrawford]

I’m not sure about the OP, but my rent is a standing order which doesn’t have the option to exclude from summary.

[KH1988 (Kieren)]

It’s very unclear, it used to be the case that committed spending was automatically excluded from summary when I used to have DDs etc from my Monzo.

The alternative is to up the monthly budget by the amount of that payment.

[robcrawford]

I don’t think this applies unless you have set an overall budget. Personally I find left to spend works best without setting an overall budget.

Haptic feedback is done super well on iOS and watchOS! It’s so precise on the watch side of things that you can select a letter of the alphabet on a list without looking at the screen, based on the number of taps you feel.

In my opinion, more use of haptic feedback in Monzo’s app would be welcomed on iOS, of course with a toggle!

As @monzo2018 says, it would be nice to see it when swiping through cards, and I’d add that haptic feedback would be great on the + and - buttons for the pot deposit, withdrawal and payment request screens

I do miss historical balances

Sound like you might find Scheduled Income useful. You can vote for Scheduled Income here:

Scheduled income

My wife and I both use the monzo joint account as our main account and all our bills and our salaries are all linked up there. It is so great to have this level of overview of our finances but there is one glaring omission. I get paid on the last working day of the month and she gets paid on the 25th. We have the summary set to start on her paydate as this is first one but for a week or so until I get paid the summary tab is stuck on £0 and red. It is only when I get paid it gives the true pict…

I love the default view in the new interface with the top of the card showing below my balance and ‘left to spend’. But if I then drag the transaction sheet either up or down, it is extremely difficult to get back to the view. You have to drag the top of the sheet to the precise point on the card to get it to stay – seemingly within the accuracy of just a few pixels. If I drag just a bit too high, the sheet pops up and covers the whole screen. If I drag just a bit too low, the sheet collapses down to the bottom of the screen revealing the whole card and controls underneath. Could you create a significantly larger target for the top of the sheet to return to the default view?

[joedmitchell (Joe)]

I don’t have this at all. Just a quick little swipe up with my finger (very small tap and swipe at the same time) and it slides back up to the default view

For what it’s worth, it sounds like they’re going to change it to just the default view or the slidden down view and remove the fully expanded view all together so that should make it easier!

[jzw95]

Oh, thanks, I’d never even tried a quick flick up (or down)! Try and drag it to just the right place, and you’ll see what I mean, it’s near impossible. But no need to do that anymore.

@joedmitchell

and remove the fully expanded view all together so that should make it easier!

Now that it’s easy for me to get back to the default view, I don’t mind anymore.

[joedmitchell (Joe)]

Are you on iOS? I just tried this on android and can drag and release anywhere over the card and it snaps to the place we’re wanting here. At least it seems solved for you!

[jzw95]

Yes, I’m on iOS. It’s definitely solved it for me, but I don’t think it’s great behaviour, as it leads to the weeks of frustration that I’ve had! The iOS app should act like the Android one in terms of drag and release over the card.
