• Exploring the amazing bunq V3? Let us know how we can make it even better!

@simardcasanova#172810 Card Visuals... yes. I can no more find what type of card it is. With v2, I could see clear distinction between maestro, mastercard, online.

    It might be hard to digest for developers working very hard to drive the app forward, but that can never be an argument to cast valuable feedback aside. Progress shouldn't come at the expense of the users who have put faith and money in a young risky startup. It's important to understand that people join bunq not only for where it is now, but for where it is going. If bunq is making radical changes just for change's sake, you get a weird Frankenstein's monster like V3. As a result, people lose trust in where bunq is heading.

    I feel this happening with myself as well. I was once an ambassador of bunq. As the erratic moves happened and bunq displayed sheer unwillingness to own up to its mistakes, not only do I not want to promote bunq in my social circles, I also find it hard to justify remaining a customer myself.

    Everything bunq tried to accomplish with V3, it could have done by making meaningful alterations to an already stellar app (I'll maybe get into this in another post). Why throw something as valuable as V2 (tried and tested, long developed) away like this? V2 was not fundamentally broken. It doesn't make sense.

    https://together.bunq.com/d/30189-votes-for-going-back-to-v2

    200+ votes while locked for comments by bunq. Probably will be hidden in a bit. I think this 'small but very vocal minority' should be embraced. These users at least take time to voice their opinion. This situation is an opportunity for bunq to show its ability to grow as a business.

    In the past, bunq failed to capitalise on its mistakes. Let's hope they don't let this opportunity go to waste. It's never too late to change.

      Ik heb kennelijk een persoonlijk account aangemaakt bij het upgraden naar de 'V3 experience'. Als ik dat account ophef dan krijg ik de volgende melding:

      Dus ik kan geen accounts opheffen. Dan verschijnt er een foutmelding over tarieven. Hebben jullie deze V3 clusterfuck uberhaupt goed doorgetest?
      Ik betaal een flink bedrag per maand maar dat is prima als alles goed werkt. Ik was een fan van het eerste uur maar ik overweeg nu serieus om mijn geld bij een andere bank onder te brengen...

        Het enige wat me ervan weerhoud om naar N26 te switchen is een Duitse IBAN. Gelukkig heb ik m’n KNAB rekening ook nog, hoewel de Bunq features de reden was om ook een rekening hier te openen.

        Oude interface was prima maar mocht van mij wel iets zakelijker. De N26 app is een goed uitgangspunt, hier een Bunq sausje overheen en klaar.

          Deze update is waardeloos. Niks is terug te vinden en ik heb meteen de oude versie terug gezet. Als dit zo blijft stap ik over.

            Can you guys roll this back or at least give us a timeline on how you're going to fix the current situation? This app isn't something that people are going to learn to use, it's simply flawed by design and bad UX. I was a big bunq fan but simply dismissing all negative beta feedback as a 'vocal minority' isn't acceptable.

              @simardcasanova#172813 Het is meer dan een Instagram feed, zoals je kunt zien post bunq nu ook nieuwsberichten, blogs, etc. Het is een feed met allerlei informatie met betrekking tot en curated door bunq (wat een grote verbetering is ten opzichte van in de eerste beta versies, waarbij je ook willekeurige instagram van anderen in de feed tegenkwam).

              In mijn ogen past “Us” perfect bij wat bunq ook wil zijn, namelijk een community bank. Dit neemt niet weg dat de basis, de persoonlijke bankervaring, heel erg goed moet zijn. Hier valt nog het nodige aan te verbeteren, maar ik weet zeker dat ook bunq inziet dat de persoonlijke bankervaring van gebruikers “on spot” moet zijn

                Oh my...

                For a company which is so forward-thinking, I really don't know what happened. As a product developer, I loveeeed your previous app. I told all my friends multiple times to switch to Bunq. But now... It looks like your UI went 10 steps back instead of 10 steps forward. Guys! What are you doing?

                ME PAGE
                - The account overview page looks like the first version of an app build in 2005. Your previous was sharp and clear, This one is not at all.
                - It should show all the essential information in a glance. All extra options should show somewhere under a menu button. I don't care how much time I saved. And yes, the trees are nice, but not on a day to day base.
                - Account names don't fit.
                - It does not let me scroll down to the bottom, so I can't see the lowest accounts.

                US PAGE
                - The 'us' page... Really... I understand you want to keep people engaged but come on. Besides that the padding between the articles is not consistent and in general, the overview is not clear, why on earth would you want this in such a prominent place?
                - Why is 'invite a friend' and 'create a link to get money back easily' placed under the 'us' tab? That does not make any sense.

                PROFILE PAGE
                - Why show the add-ons and trophies? This is non-relevant information guys. Hide it.
                - In the previous version, I could say when the month would start: On the date or when my salary got in. Now I can't find this option anymore.
                - It's 'food and drinks' not 'food and drink'.
                - The support center keeps asking me to log in while I am logged in already. Therefore I had to log in on my computer, otherwise, I could not post this feedback.
                - When clicking on the back button of 'Personal Details' it sends you back to the account instead of the settings page.

                Besides this.

                • It's very hard to reach your support center. It takes some browsing to get there.
                • The colors... People.
                • One last thing. Why is your feed up-side-down? I want to see the last messages on top, not in the bottom...Right?

                I think you are a great company. But deploying such a big change and seeing how much feedback you are getting now, makes me wonder how much testing you have done.

                You can do it! Just listen to us, breath and it all will be ok :)

                Greetings!

                  Sometimes an update is so bad that there is no point of providing feedback anymore. The entire design is centered around “pushing features” to users. What problems does this try to solve?

                  Roll back to the last version and take improvements from there, based on real customer issues

                    Wow its funny how the + button is on the mainpage usedfor advertising upgrades (and yes i already havepremium thanks...)

                    BUT: On the account view + is used to make transfers... LOL make it clear whats an ad and whats a function in the app! Thats ridiculous and btw the reason why i changed to bunq. My other bank (N26) was full of ads at that time (now its getting alot better there).

                    Thought that if i pay premium i would be fine and have a hasslefree banking experience. Not the case anymore.

                      Bunq! Any reactions to this? You could see this coming a bit, but I’m really worried about my money now, especially when the app does not support some stock features anymore.

                        @Simon-Magenta-Zebra#172838 Ik (en velen met mij) hebben geen behoefte aan berichten van de Bunq marketingafdeling in hun banking app. Bunq zou dit optioneel moeten maken zodat degenen die er wel behoefte aan hebben het aan kunnen zetten.

                          @Nuno-Silver-Eagle#172748
                          one more thing after some usage.
                          3 - Invasive plus button. It's nicely contextualized with the options, but it should be on the top right IMHO.
                          3.1 - The options of the menu, after pressing the button in the accounts (Me) section, is very unintuitive.

                            @Maximilian-Pink-Eagle#172846 Yes, it's one of the unbelievable UX choices made in V3.

                              I'm really unhappy with V3. I just want a simple banking app, like V2. Now everything is behind the + button, so I have to make way more clicks to do what I want. Furthermore, I'm worried about my privacy, as you are including the Instagram feed!

                                @bunq#170787 Dear bunq-Team,

                                I would like to tell you my personal feedback on V3, that I made in the
                                past hours. :) (I know, that’s not much time, to get used to a new app, but
                                I would like to tell the things, that aren’t really cool in my opinion)

                                Clearly the V3 has good new things. But also a bit to work on.

                                For me the old version had a better overview and was a bit easier and
                                better to use, and the biggest point, it had a white background!
                                I hate dark backgrounds in Apps, because a white background brings the
                                other colours way better out and it makes me feel much better. The dark app
                                makes me feel quite bad and uncomfortable. (Because of that I never have
                                the night mode on at my iPhone). Also I don’t like, that there’s no
                                shortcut to the standing orders (or planned payments), at least I found
                                none. 😅 You have to tap on one account, than the three dots, planned
                                payments and than you see the standing orders. A bit laborious.

                                Two more optical things that disrupt the overall picture for me, are the
                                round plus sign at the bottom, and the three points on top of the
                                homescreen, were the trees and savings are shown. The trees don’t have any
                                meaning for me, because I haven’t got a greencard, so I don’t plant trees.
                                😅 The big plus could be made a bit less colourful, or could be blend out
                                after bit seconds, or when you scroll down.

                                What I like about V3, is that the „private“ function is made way better.
                                Now the account balances aren’t shown at the main screen AND either when
                                you tab on the different accounts. Thats a Great Update!

                                When I look at both Versions (V2&V3) I liked V2 more, BUT I think V3 could
                                be better than V2, with little updates.

                                Also I wish, that you don’t delete as much negative feedback, as you are
                                doing Right now. I understand, that you want the feedback directly send at
                                you, but to delete posts on together and even ban complete persons should
                                never really be an alternative.

                                I hope you don’t get me wrong and maybe make some of my points better, so I
                                have a greater feeling using the V3, than I had on the V2.

                                With that I wish you a great Workday and #stayfree. :D

                                Greetings,
                                Nick

                                  Kan je op IOS de app downgraden naar V2?

                                    Bitte alte Version zurück! Diese Version ist nur unübersichtlich! Mein +1 Konto kann ich gar nicht sehen... Es geht bei einer bsnking app um banking und nicht um Werbung wie viele Bäume etc. gepflanzt wurden. Die neue Version hat das Thema verfehlt

                                      It's awfully quiet at the Bunq side. I didn't see a single comment from Bunq themselves in this thread. They are probably busy closing threads made by angry users.

                                      But I am curious: What is Bunq going to do about this V3 catastrophy? Improving? Roll back? I think many users would like to know this because Bunq is loosing goodwill by the minute....

                                        I don't understand how this could have happened, I've been trying to read trough some old topics, looking at some other stuff. All of this was supposed to be based on user feedback, and this new version was supposed to be even easier to use. I don't really see any of that coming back in this version. If it was really based on user feedback, then I think there may have been some selection bias (i.e. users that really aren't the general bunq users, but a more specific group that may have other requirements than the rest of us). But I somehow get the feeling that this was a rushed effort and wasn't based on user feedback at all. Please bunq, let us know how you are going to approach this, I would personally really prefer a rollback to V2 and you putting a lot more effort in V3 before you release it again, because I get the feeling that fixing this slowly won't do, and lots of people may abandon ship. I'm thinking of cancelling my account myself, mainly because I feel like this much of a disconnect signals an underlying problem, and should not have happened, and I feel myself wondering if you have my best interests in mind.
