I think it’s relevant because you were going on about “fairness”. If Revolut can crank out Vault updates while expanding globally, I’ll be damned if Monzo thinks it’s fine to put a popular feature on the backburner, especially when it only took 1 engineer & a few days to create.
Yes & it looks like you’ve only requested it because Revolut’s done it, not because you really need it
There have?
Really love this feature and it’s not a massive issue seeing them in the transactions list. Prefer for them not to show but not a dealbreaker for me.
My last clarification on this topic, as a user of both Monzo & Revolut I have uses from both & affinities for both. They’re currently complimentary products for me.
However, as Monzo is my primary spending app it does pain me to see how good Vault Jar is compared to Coin Jar. It doesn’t help that Coin Jar is now on the backburner.
I requested this feature precisely because I want it, which is more than sufficient. I love Coin Jar but will love it more with more iterations in a similar vain to Revolut. Is this satisfactory for you?
I guess, as a developer myself, when I’ve done something quickly, then get asked to make a change and everyone assumes it’s piss easy when it’s actually a pain in the butt to do. It then inevitably takes longer, then people complain that it took longer than the initial thing because they don’t understand how the development process works.
No but I have a feeling that we’re not going to make much progress here so I’m happy to leave it there
Glad to hear your insights being a developer yourself.
However, in this case, we have Revolut Vaults as a benchmark to measure Coin Jar against. Whether that is fortunate or unfortunate is a matter of opinion. Personally, Vaults has overtaken Coin Jar in what it’s capable of doing but I stress this will not make me suddenly jump over to Revolut. Rather i will hold Monzo to account as a good customer should do. It’s not “complaining” but rather feedback.
Love these types of updates. £25ish per person so far. Would be really interesting to know how much of it was already spent though! Is it nearer to to 1M or 0
I thought it would be higher then 6% of people using coinjar. Wonder if thats inline with regular pots usage too?
Noooo. Apple Pay first, please.
Is it too late to remove the badging on Coin Jar transactions? It’s a definite improvement over having a separate transaction but since ~90% of feed items will have a badge it feels like one piece of clutter (separate transaction) is being replaced by another (badging).
What would you suggest as the alternative? Bearing in mind that users need some indication that their transaction has been rounded when looking at the feed.
I disagree. A user will already know if they’ve turned on Coin Jar and expect it to be rounded.
I’m 50/50 on this… I do think however there needs to be something to show its done it… otherwise people might not be aware if it “stops” working…
I would find a badge much less annoying than a feed item though so I’m all for it
They’ll know if transactions stop ending in .00
Agreed! I can’t wait for this to be implemented. Badge or not
This was a great idea and I loved it when it was announced. I still do. But an interesting side effect is that unconsciously I stopped looking at my feed, I sort of feel it is a Coin Jar song with some salt and pepper in between.
I’ve always been intrigued by this sort of function so the opportunity to try it has been great. The two transactions thing is a drag but it’s tolerable for the moment although I do look forward to a smarter representation when one comes along. There’s a part of me that feels hiding the representation of these stealth savings in the feed will make them more stealthy and easier to avoid raiding.
Overall, I think I need to run with this a while longer to get a sense of how much I can personally benefit from it but that’s a separate issue from how good a feature it is since the answer will vary by individual.
This is the backend game changing magic
Great idea to give all your customers a million pounds! Can we have Apple Pay to help us spend it? It’ll take ages at £30 max per transaction!
Round up to the nearest fiver would be good I reckon…
