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

I feel like all this moving things from the bottom navigation is to make way for something… Marketplace?

The animations look cool but IMO are totally unnecessary and unnatural.
As other comments have said, I’d prefer to have the accounts menu option on the nav bar.
Why the accounts is still hidden in the “profile” picture? The profile picture should take you to your profile, not to accounts.

Glad to see the nav bar visible at all times. But missing the labels under the icons.

  • 1 for swiping horizontally on the transaction feed to scroll through pots etc.

I also think it might be natural to include the card section in the pull down area for the accounts screen if this is going to stay? Agree the animation needs improvement though. Kind of like it once you get used to it though. I’m sure an intro to the new app will be made directing users to all the gestures when its rolled out?

I think Monzo’s Marketplace features are going to be integrated around the Monzo app rather than in a designated tab. However, I could see an Invest tab appearing in the future.

Yeah I agree. I think the new look is part of a more long term plan to create space in the app for other elements whatever they might be. The old version was fast running out of space to add new elements.

I’d love in the future to have everything in my financial life connected… accounts, pots, credit cards, loans etc then be able to swipe left from the main account to a sort of omni-view of everything merged in one single transaction feed? Showing my entire financial position if that makes sense? I think this would be huge!

Definitely looks better and helps to explain the journey.

When you say only coming to android 2.62, do you mean that as badly as it sounds…or that it will also come to iOS in another version?

Also home button still doesn’t do anything on iOS when double tapping, but apologies if you still meant that was only for android.

Any update on when this v helpful feature might arrive?

That makes a lot of sense. I think the issue for me is that I don’t want to see my pot amounts all that often – they’re used for stashing money away and forgetting about it. With several pots, I can’t see both my personal and joint account in the accounts list, and have to do a lot of scrolling one way or another. Checking the balance of the two current accounts is a much more frequent need of mine, so it’s something that I’d like to be quick and easy.

It sounds like the double-tapping of the home button will solve this. Am I right in thinking that tapping the home button will toggle between our current accounts, skipping out the pots? This would be ideal, and allow for quickly jumping between current accounts from where we could swipe horizontally to access their respective pots. Otherwise it won’t be much use, as there will be far too much tapping required!

What’s your suggestion?

Hopefully once they’ve sped it up :slightly_smiling_face:

My suggestion was in my post?
An accounts tab at the bottom :blush: simple and clear user navigation

I’ll let you know, haptics always help!

After looking at the animation a bit more I think it doesn’t feel right because initially it looks like it’s going to zoom out all the way when you release your finger but instead it bounces back :hushed:
Usually when I’ve done this in other apps it means you’ve come to the end of a list and there’s nothing to show.
But here a new screen fades over the top of the bounce back. The card being an exception here which continues to zoom? But no other elements zoom into place such as profile photo, they all fade.
I feel it would be better if it zoomed out all the way like when you close an app on iOS and the other elements are just sat underneath already without an additional transition.

It’s hard to describe but I tried my best.

Maybe I’m just use to iOS :man_shrugging:t3:

Like the look of that Monzo CreditCard :wink:

I know a lot of work has gone into this but I really don’t like it.

Keep it simple and give it its own tab. The swipe gesture is an unintuitive solution to a problem which shouldn’t exist.

Would you swap it for one of the other buttons?

Personally I think there’s enough room for 4 options, however if I had to choose I’d move help to a question mark button in the top right somewhere.

Obviously all just my opinion :blush:

The problem is help should really be persistent on all screens, and the room is not there on all. Top right on the home screen is also account dependant (relates to the card you’re on). There is room at the bottom for 4, but also this means there’s room for new feature development over the next 5 years.

Move the Help button to the top, get rid of the pie chart icon. We can get to summary by tapping the Left To Spend

Yep, and tapping on your photo takes you to profile, whilst the cog takes you to settings

Personally think 3 is better and would agree help would be the one to move
