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

It’s under settings > notifications.

I’ve got it turned on but didn’t get a notification when I didn’t money in Sainsbury’s earlier.

Just tested the pots not updating and I also see that although my pot updates instantly my transaction history didn’t. I had to close and reopen the app before I saw the change

Click on the profile picture and that setting has the Notification setting at top.

I think it’s just a bug which will get fixed hopefully in next update, they did say it would be buggy.

thanks. I switched off the notifications and turned it on again and its working. I thinks its a bug. the notification has always been turned on previously.

If you grab the little ‘handle’ at the top and swipe up on it a few times it’ll grab the entire tray and move it up to the top of the screen leaving a huge gap at the bottom :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Also, it’d be fantastic if the card section / image was shifted up a few pixels :wink: I’d love to see “Investor” fully peaking above the transaction tray :yum:

Don’t know about anyone else, but I struggle to scroll through my account spends and then have to look at the top to see how much my current balance is at that time. It would be great to have the balance at each payment. Never been bothered by the graph.

Thanks for the reply, Bruno.

Excuse the crude designs, but I was thinking something more scrollable to swap between my main account and pots, like this…

iOS has only just switched from horizontal scroll to vertical, I’m not sure if going back to horizontal is the answer, especially for those with 10+ pots.

I think it could work if both existed. View all to quickly pick one of the many, or swipe if you want. Maybe you could select from the list the ones you wanted to be swipe-able between.

Summary I’ve never used, mainly because Monzo can’t copy with Weekly Wages. What I need to continue ‘without incident’ is the ability to send ad-hoc payments, add/edit payees as I currently do. Would also love the option (sure we had it before) to retry DDs and SOs that fail in the morning because they seem to come out before my wages go in.

Given that these changes are about look and feel, I’m pretty sure they haven’t touched the DD functionality so there’s no reason for the existing retry function to have gone anywhere.

You should still be able to retry failed Direct Debits the next morning, as @Feathers said, but the ability to retry failed Standing Orders hasn’t been built yet.

You can vote for the ability to retry failed Standing Orders here:

This looks really cool and I think would work great for account switching/ switching to credit cards.

However I have 10 or so pots, and having to scroll through them one by one would just be a right pain!

Could work if you scroll to the right for credit card and left to a button to view all pots?

So like the “view all” becomes a “card” that can click to get to your pots? That could work.

Could just have a left scroll to take you straight through to the “view all” page to actually

Yeah I do not want to go back to horizontal scrolling through my 13 pots :joy:

I’ve been giving this all a lot of thought and was wondering what the motivations for these changes were, aside from the general objective to give us a good user experience.

Has the plan been to try and reduce clutter? While that’s been achieved to a degree, I worry that it’s at the expense of intuitiveness (if that’s a word).

Previously we had a (slightly busy) nav bar of 5 tabs at the bottom, but that was where you found nearly all things. Now we have a cleaner nav bar, but to achieve that, things have been squirrelled away elsewhere.

Rather than switching between tabs in a single nav bar at an easy thumb’s reach at the bottom, now we have to:

  • Swipe up for one batch of content (feed)
  • Tap a button in the top left/right for another (Pots etc.)
  • Tap the bottom tabs for another two (payments and help)
  • Tap another one that moves up and down the screen for another (summary or its replacement).

All of these things were within easy reach in a single intuitive nav bar - now it feels like they’ve been thrown all over the app.

I understand what you’re saying, but I do think the “new look” simplifies things, especially for new users, and makes everything easier to find.

For example:

  • It’s quicker to swipe up for the feed then to click on the Home tab (and wait for the tab-switch-lag before the tab switches).
  • This is a more simple UI (although the “View all” button does need renaming):

    • To go from the Home feed to viewing your pots in the previous UI you have to do the following:

      1. Click the Account tab (and wait for it to load).
      2. Scroll down.

    • To go from the Home feed to viewing your pots in the “new look” UI you have to do the following:

      1. Click the “View all” button.
  • This makes no change to the number of clicks needed to reach Summary but has the additional benefit of showing Summary progress without having to click onto a different tab.
