Bring the bunq iPad app to macOS, using Catalyst

JohnDo

DaveFlash I don't know where you got the numbers from....

But I bet... that far more bunq 🌈 users have a Windows pc then a Mac(book).

Anyway, bunq 🌈 is all about diversity... so let's that also show in the number of devices they support 😉👌

John Do bunqDesktop is the perfect example for that, works everywhere <3

Andreas

W. Janson-Korhorn Let's hope it's as simple as Apple says it is

Andreas☀️ Hold on, let me write that down "On June 3rd bunq 🌈 already announced a feature for bunq 🌈 update 12"... yes got it! 😉👊

Amen, dit is een mooi idee en voorbeeld van waar ‘t handig voor is. :) Die hele presentatie was sowieso top, Apple heeft flink uitgepakt dit jaar voor alle devices. :)

For every platform, there's already "bunqDesktop" available; a brilliant project by Gregory Goijaerts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's available on Github and is updated frequently with new features.

WP It is brilliant indeed. It’s unfortunately also third-party, so not really an option to use in combination with full API access. :( Bunq porting the app would be very nice. (Bunq taking over bunqDesktop would be even better... it’s awesome even with oAuth.)

WP Auf den Screenshots sieht das Programm wirklich gut aus. Aber es ist eben kein offizielles Produkt und dazu nicht einmal entsprechend den Richtlinien signiert, da vermutlich kein Apple Developer Abo besteht. Da bin ich bei Banking dann doch eher skeptisch 😇

Ich würde eine catalyst App (offiziell, geprüft, ...) auch bevorzugen. Alternativ könnte man auch überlegen ob man dem Entwickler von bunqDesktop gemeinsam ein Apple Developer Abo sponsert.

WJanson

LvH I rather see bunqDesktop remaining independent, so we’ll maybe have two options 😇

bunqDesktop could bring powerful features that are too complicated for the mainstream audience. Whereas an official bunq macOS app brings the Bank of The Free to the desktop in a simple yet powerful way.

Wimbat

Michael When Catalina and catalyst will be officially launched, the iPad app will probably be favorable for the reasons you just mentioned.
However, that doesn’t really help Windows users and Linux users I guess. These users will still have the option to use bunqDesktop. That’s the main reason I mentioned it.

This would be really great! I would love to have this feature inside of bunq

johannes

Max Well, I think with bunq Web it is actually not really necessary unless it really takes like no additional work. I'd more like to see bunq expanding the bunq Web features so everybody can enjoy bunq on their desktop, not just Mac users.

iMonZ

Johannes 🇦🇺 Yes it is! Because the bunq app is only a web app
And also the bunq mobile app has so many features that are not implemented yet(and maybe never for security reasons) and with catalyst it would be really easy to make a secure and stable platform where I can let my phone at home and work only with the Mac!

johannes

Max Well, other banks managed to add everything they have in their webinterface :) And for security reasons you will probably always kinda need your phone, even with a bunq App for the desktop for like 1000€+ payments, etc. - it's called "2 factor authentication".

johannes

Max .. but I mean, we will see what bunq will do :) Just don't believe they will do it if it's not like REALLY REALLY easy, also for a app like bunq that needs a bit more security behind it. And as I said: A more feature rich bunq Web would help everyone, not just Mac Users :)

Johannes 🇦🇺 I‘m an IOS developer and implementing a dark mode specially when they have already a switch between light and dark is really easy because the engine behind it is already ready so they only need to add a few lines of extra code and woilah

johannes

Max Wrong topic :-)

iMonZ

Johannes 🇦🇺 Yes I know I’m a discussion guy when I start that i can’t stop
Sorry about That
