iOS have a whole toolbar UI with multiple filter options (category, people (?), amount greater than/less than, attachment, locations etc) whereas Android just has a plain text input.
As I remember, iOS had a menu which showed the sneak peeks, separate to the community links. It was promised that this was ācoming soonā to Android. Hereās the blog post: https://monzo.com/blog/2018/05/09/sneak-peeks/
On iOS, I think thereās an information popup on the graph which shows the balance/spent at that particular point. This does not exist on Android. I donāt know if itās just Android, but the graph annoyingly bounces/snaps when scrolling.
Also - thereās no widget for Android. I understand the iOS one is buggy, but at least one exists
Search on iOS is fairly broken. Itās buggy, gets stuff wrong, and needs a complete re-write. Thereās no point us recreating a broken feature on Android. When we re-do Search, weāll do it on both platforms.
Sneak Peeks, as it exists right now on iOS, canāt be recreated on Android in exactly the same way. Something to do with the tool we used to build it - I donāt know the details but the plan is to rebuilt it in a platform agnostic way. @naji may have some more info on this.
Weāve discussed this before but if we are going by the strictest definition of the term āparityā then it was probably the wrong term for us to use. Weāve put in a huge amount of work with The Big List project to bring the main things that people requested to Android, but the apps arenāt (and probably never will be) exactly the same.
I personally like that we have NFC activation on Android as well as granular notifications. Yes, the lack of these is a platform limitation of iOS but at least for the former, we still had to build it in.
Letās try to avoid this conversation becoming circular, folks. Thereās really not a huge amount to say that hasnāt been covered in the 89 posts above this one
What about notes for faster payment service payments? Theyāre possible on Android, but on iOS the notes field is shown as the āReferenceā field and is uneditable. This looks strange when you edit the notes on Android to add hashtags to the payment!
And then of course youāve still got a few areas in the Android app that ask for the card PIN rather than using the fingerprint.
I donāt know how weāre supposed to tell Monzo what features one platform has that the other doesnāt. I donāt have an iPhone to compare with.
Surely Monzo know what each app has? I shouldnāt need to find out by accident that iPhone has widgets then raise it.
A couple of things I can think of off the top of my head that iOS have and Android doesnāt:
Sneak peaks section of app (not community).
Advanced searching.
Bill splitting.
Changing pot pictures.
Full initials for Monzo contacts without a profile picture - Android only has the first letter of the first name, making it really difficult to tell Monzo contacts without profile pictures apart.
Transactions categorised as expenses have āExpensesā appear under the transaction in the main feed.
NB: I know some of these have been included above already.
Sure I think itās more helpful to ask however. For instance, above I made the assumption that since iOS and Android both had search that was fine - I know how the iOS search works and use Android day to day and I personally have no issues. However, several other people have different opinions on that and think we should try to make the Android search a bit more granular. As @simonb has pointed out, weāre unlikely to rebuild the Android search to match the iOS version as there are a few issues with it. There would probably be a cross platform project to rebuild it on both platforms which will take a while to scope and set up
Thatās a good shout Iām not quite sure what happened to this actually.
Generally yes, but I think not in this specific case. It was Monzoās choice to implement this using a tool that only works on iOS. If it was something that was impossible on iOS, like NFC card activations, then I agree with your point.
This one really annoys me. Iāve had to write a script on my computer to use the API so I can set notes on incoming payments. Itās a hassle though. @simonb, do you know if thereās a reason that setti g notes on incoming payments was removed from iOS?
