(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.
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!?
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 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
