Well, I’ve enabled the preview on iOS and my main frustration so far is the “£X left for Y days” and bar I don’t want there as it’s nonsense. I have money coming in, bills come out from a pot, etc. I don’t want something saying “you have no money” constantly. On the old style, that was left in budget, which was also useless, but it was hidden away in its own tab so I could easily ignore it. Now I have this red text and bar complaining at me.

I don’t really understand the point of the change. It brings nothing but confusion and simply feels like change for the sake of change.
It didn’t make the experience any quicker for me. What is really frustrating is you are still not as good as starling at showing where my money is really going.
You still lack a very important and core feature which is so critical, accessing your cards 3 digit security number. Wtf are you holding that back. It’s so annoying to have to go find a pointless plastic card in a pointless wallet to get this info.
And still monzo plus is just not remotely interesting unless you live in a city.
You are wasting precious development time in the wrong areas.

I flicked the switch in the Monzo Labs part of the app keen to see how the app had been improved.
But there’s no improvement at all.
There’s a mish-mash if navigation techniques that’s akin to using every transition effect in a PowerPoint presentation. The result is a confusing mess of navigation with no certainty for the user.
I know humans are generally resistant to change, but the resulting app is confusing to use and I’m really not sure what problem it has solved?

To create space for new things. The old display was cramped.

How does Starling do this better?
This would be a good addition.
Completely different team, not relevant to this thread.
Only a handful working on this so again. No.

The new layout and UI for Monzo looks brilliant! But 1 thing I find a little out of place, is how small the amount spent title is. At times I thought it was one of my things I’d bought/spent money on in that day, but turned out to be the total amount of money spent on that day. And my final bit is a better way to refresh the app with the new layout and UI, currently swiping down shows all the accounts and pots etc, which refreshes them all, but not in the best way in my opinion. Good work everyone, though!
Hello 
I’ve moved your post to the main thread so @bruno and the team can see your feedback.

One thing that I feel is missing, is when you’re scrolling through previous transactions, there’s no way to see what the balance was at this point in time. Say if I want to know my balance at pay day, the update makes this impossible without going in to PDF statements or Summary. It would be really helpful if it would display, even as a floating pop up, the account balance as you’re scrolling through

I really didn’t like it when I first flicked on the new navigation. However after persevering I now vastly prefer it over the previous design.

I’ve got a similar opinion to you. Thought it was a bit fussy at first, but no realise it’s a massive improvement over the old layout, which looked really dated.

One thing that still frustrates the hell out of me is the inconsistent behaviour of the home button. When transaction feed is is mid position it cycles between accounts. When transaction feed is lowered it cycles between accounts, but when transaction feed is full screen it behaves differently and lowers the transaction feed instead of performing the expected behaviour of cycling accounts … I hope this is not by design!
2.61.0
Any plans for a back button on iOS on the accounts overview page? The page is useful to see a general overview of all pots etc but then there is no way back and I find it very unnatural to select one of the accounts/pots to get whereI need. Implementing a back button in the top left and/or the universal ‘right swipe to go back’ in iOS is a must for me. It would be a massive quality of life improvement on the new look.

I like the new layout - looks and feels better and more logical in my view. I noticed that the savings pot rounded rectangles are blank - any reason for this?
Also I was hoping that the savings pots would give a listing of all transactions rather than the total credits/debits, as in the old layout. This probably isn’t an issue for this thread but it is an issue about the usability and visibility of my use of Monzo.

We’re very close to finish the things we consider essential for the rollout. Android v2.62 going to Beta tomorrow is a very good build.
At this point it’s more about syncing with the rest of the company and rolling out in a safe way. There are some things being released around mid September that we don’t want to clash with, so probably shortly after that.
Having said that, 50% of new customers have been getting the new nav (for over a month now) and we’ll bring that to 100% before properly kick off the rollout for existing customers.

Hi there my transaction are not updating on the feed to get it to do it i have to switch to an other pot and back. I’m running the new look 2.610. Can you help?
Great news, I do think its almost there personally.
I am on iOS so to be honest ill reserve my full judgement until its fully on par with the android build but great work so far @bruno really liking it!
I’ll acknowledge im not always the quickest to give praise on here but well done with this one

I still don’t like the “spent today” figures in the feed. They look messy and it’s never explained what they are.
The feed is much clearer in the old nav because the shading divides the days more clearly.

It’s how much you’ve spent today/that day? What needs explaining about that?
It doesn’t say “spent today” anywhere, and first direct put the running balance in equivalent location in their app.
I went back to the old nav to compare, and have to say, while the new nav looks much prettier, I found the old nav to be much more ‘usable’, IMO. Everything is in an obvious place, and there’s no having to guess what hidden buttons might do (looking at you, Blue Pill…), or hunt for the features you need.
