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

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.

Just sent a payment and set up a standing order for it and I got a red dot on the home tab. I scrolled up and down, tapped on everything tappable but it wouldn’t go. Had to hard close to get rid of it

Screenshot for all the red dot fans :red_circle:

Have you checked the notification bell?

This happened few times for me. Have to close the app and restart it again

By the way if you get the Monzo Plus, will the Card colour changes in Monzo app or not

Yes.

I got the £3 subscription. In case if I want to add travel insurance in the future, how do I add it. On Monzo Plus in app option it’s no longer showing up for me . image

Long press for account list, tap the one you need. Quick swipe to go to the next one.

The idea was you could go < for credit cards and > for savings. Long press for a list.

Anyone know how to force update the pot amounts? Have no idea how much money I have in my account overall

Click withdraw or add and then back out, seems to do it for me.

I did try that but it doesn’t work, having the total balance removed doesn’t help as it looks like my account is simply losing money without going anywhere

Edit: seemed manually adding to the pot (rather than IFTTT) seemed to update it
