  • bunq Update 12 features: additional questions

@AdOrbit#120600 For the insights thing (with the donut): It would be nice if you can have that view per account. I have business and personal bankaccounts so a seperate overview would be welcome.

You can filter by account, just just the filter button at the top of your screen.

    @Bifi#119752 Completely agree. I just don't want to see this annoying graph on each and every account detail view. A waste of screen space extraordinary! Please put this somewhere "behind" a user preference. You know what is happening with bunq (as with almost software products / companies): FEATURE CREEP :(

    I wrote this earlier this day on bunq's Facebook:

    "bunq is amazing. Unfortunately it will (as almost every other tech company) "lose itself" in feature creep happening all over. People get lost in a sea of posibillities that are not at all life enriching as Ali is mentioning. It will actually lead to more stress. Less overview, less efficiency, more screen time, for features that are a bloat to the core of the app."

    Less is more! Keep it simple!

    Off course things like Apple Pay are kind of cool. Also not really a game changer. What is the problem with a bank card? What really appealed to me three years ago was a "bank" that was transparent and didn't invest our money into malicious companies and came with a crisp and clear app with cool basic features for security, ease of use, ease of onboarding.

    What happens now is that the technological possibilities and human creativity will bloat the app more and more over time until you end up like Facebook nowadays. Completeley feature creeped. What's next? bunq displaying things to buy from other bunqers like a marketplace and Ali telling us how it will "Enrich our life" Get real!

    Be brave and reduce the possibilities whereever possible and don't give us a AI/Machine learning (popular terms) algorithm hardly researched over time and very error prone most probably (because this is for scientists not for developers).

    My two cents...

      @AdOrbit#120600 you can select which accounts are taken into account for the "donut" -> another feature creep thing. It looks kinda nice but doesn't really interest the majority of users. Nice to have a look at once and then it is forgotten.

        Ich suche gerade nach der Möglichkeit, meine Kassenbons zu scannen, damit diese automatisch zugeordnet werden. Oder gibt es das nur für Business Accounts? Scannen geht entweder nur QR oder Rechnungen (für Überweisungen).

          @pbruins84#120607 Ah, found it! Thanks 👍🏻

            @Heiko-Hartwig#120708 Ja, dieses Feature gibt es momentan nur für Business-Konten. Wäre vielleicht sinnvoll, das auch irgendwie für private Konten einzuführen.

              @Michael-Indigo-Badger-440710752#119765

              This will make it so much better!

                Please add an option to hide the graph in account detail view

                  I really appreciate the update! Exactly the kind of features I expect of bunq. Especially the insights feature is really useful to me personally.

                  The only trend I see in most of the bunq Updates is that they introduce new features without an option to turn them off. I do understand that it is impossible to add features that are useful to every customer, but almost all features included in bunq Updates are always on by default, usually without a way to turn them off.

                  Personally I prefer that features are launched only when they can also be turned off, and then preferably turned off by default.

                  Don't get me wrong, I use most features and will immediately turn these on, but it is a drag to have that one feature that you don't be in the way so that you can't use the app productively anymore.

                    One thing I'd really appreciate is to be able to create my own category for that "donut graph" with my own icon/photo like you can when you create a group.

                    The categories right now seem too limited and vague

                      @Jonathan#121125 ich stimme dir zu, dass es Nutzer gibt die mit dieser Funktion glücklich sind. Dann gibt es Personen wie mich, die dieses nicht benötigen. Gehaltsempfänger und monatliche Ausgaben in immer gleicher Höhe ( meist Lastschriften). Lass die Möglichkeit zu, es auszuschalten. Diese Diskussion erinnert mich an die Zinsdiskussion. Große Aufregung und dann die Abschaltmöglichkeit.

                        On Android: how do I copy an IBAN now?
                        Long-pressing the IBAN doesn't work anymore, it just opens the dialog from which it's only possible to share with extra useless text.

                          @Whydoineedauniqueusername#121584 Hi 👋🏼, on iOS this still works. When I try this on Android I have the same issue. Sounds like a bug. Best thing you can do is to report this bug to Support via Support Chat 👍

                            Every time I get in the car to go e.g. grocery shopping, I get a push notification from the Bunq travel assistant. I figured this would only show when crossing borders but for now I’ve turned location access off for the Bunq app because it was driving me crazy.

                              The chart on top of an accounts detail screen takes away way to much screen space for real relevant things. Please remove this feature as almost nobody will ever use seriously for longer time. I just want to see the events that happened on any account. Technical possibility and human creativity doesn't mean that it is useful.
