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

Some thoughts on the “left to spend” figure:

(Very) early on in the month, it’s useful, because it takes into account some big, regular outgoings - rent, credit card, etc.

But beyond a week or two into the month, it’s pretty much useless. I have various non discretionary purchases to make that will eat up a large part of what’s left, but they’re not included in this figure (fuel, groceries, etc).

The more interesting figure is the “you’re set to have £x left over” but, sadly, it doesn’t seem terribly accurate. For me, at least, it seems to get confused by the large amounts coming out just after payday (rent, credit card).

On the plus side, it is very handy being able to see how long I need to wait until my next payday.

You hero.

Nice. Pity it’s only a limited selection. I’d really love to get my tesco one in there as it has a hideous web UI.

Fb messenger now has a good dark mode. I also get frustrated at the unpredictable brightness changes on iphone.

Yeh … makes me feel ill

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but it would be good if by pressing the home button made it whizz to the top of transactions. Think it did it before!?

I’ve got new nav. I’m happy to having things not working quite right. But I seem to have lost my entire business account. How do I see it?

Is it there in view all (top left/right on main screen?)

Or, long press the bottom nav bar?

Thanks. It is missing from View All. But long press works.

Swiping left for connected cards/accounts and right for a list of pots is a good idea. However, I can think of a few initial UX issues which would need fixing:

  • Would the list of pots also display joint account & business account pots? - I guess the current “View all” button have this issue too if you can swipe the card to switch accounts.

  • It might be difficult for new users to find where pots are initially.

What I feel would work better is if all notifications still lived within the feed as it’s one central place to look for any new information such as (transactions or other notifications).

What the :bell: icon should do is filter the feed list with some smooth animation to remove all transactions and just leave “other notifications”.

This would provide the best of both worlds for those that like them all in one place or those who want to see a separate list in a tap of a button.

The other notifications would still be sorted by date just like anything else in the feed.
They could be marked as read after tapping on them or removed if the user presses the “x”.

This would also resolve mozno’s issue that some notifications may be missed if you have a busy day with transactions

I really hope it does not go back to swiping endlessly through pots. Remember you can have up to 20 currently (I have 14).
I don’t mind swiping for a couple of connected credit cards, but pots makes much more sense in the recently updated list view( or even a grid view), but please no endless swiping :pray:

Think the view all pots button should be a monzo blue pot icon, or something cleaner like the personal icon you have in the top left hand corner.

Issue: Currently running the new app layout. Going into Summary/Left to Spend and clicking on a spending category crashes the app. Mainly does this with Groceries, Holidays and Finances.

Details to reproduce: Go Into App, Open left to spend and open second spending category, then back out and click on the top category. App crashes.
OS: iOS 12.2
Device: iPhone 7 Plus 32GB
App Version: 2.45.0 #522

Screenshots: Cant screenshot an app crash :wink:

:android::bug: #3

Can’t be sure that it’s a fault of the new UI but the notification bar on Android 9 / Pixel 3XL goes grey when editing your email address :stuck_out_tongue:

This doesn’t happen on address or phone number :see_no_evil: they remain dark blue :grin:

Go to a pot and tap edit pot, then save changes (without actually changing anything) and it updates

On iOS, you can either tap the top of the screen, or swipe right to left on the feed - both actions take you to the top :grinning:

Swiping left to right on iOS also takes you to the top.

I don’t need the graph but the figures summary gives I use regularly.

My expenditure varies from month to month and I like to keep track of a rolling average.

That’s easy to do using the figures from summary and much easier than other bank accounts where I’ve had to manually add up individual transactions,

Summary is one of the most useful features of the app to me,

Not sure if this has been mentioned but the ‘manage pots’ link within a pot transaction’s details does nothing.

(Fixed for me as of latest IOS app)
