I have just moved to Bunq, cancelled my other bank account, but I'm seriously considering moving back. I'm definitely not going to use this as my main bank account for at least a few months. The fact that Bunq is fast in adapting changes can be good, but there can be too much of a good thing. And this is it.
Normally I wouldn't write something, because most of it, is already discussed. But since the founder said that "they know very well what their customers want" after delivering this app and seeing all the backlash feels weird. It's like he's saying "I hear what you're saying, but we were still right. We know what you want, better than you!", which seem pretty arrogant if you ask me.
To start off: My accounts should be front and center, not how many money, trees or time I have saved. This is just "borstklopperij" for people. This is marketing, not user interace. I don't want to know how much time I have saved using this app. Nobody ever asked for this, and I don't see how this would ever be relevant using this app.
Then: The + button. From a UI perspective, I don't see how a button in all colors works very well in UI, but if I leave it at that, it's too big and awkwardly positioned. How many time would I want to add a new bank account or something.
When you open this up, you are completely lost. I see a screen and I have to read for (and i timed this) nearly 20 seconds(!!) before I have read everything. This is not a UI! These are marketing Taglines. I want to know in 1 or 2 words where I want to click on.
Also: the plus button stays in the same location, and the same color, which makes it feel like it'll always function the same way. But it has a different interaction in every tab you're in... If it would be on the right top, that's UI which we have gotten used to, right?
The US tab should be optional. I know you guys are trying to do good. But it's just annoying being confronted with it constantly. It also feels like you guys are trying to push people to take this Super Green constantly and it's very annoying. We're all paying customers here, and it feels like there's a constant in-app advertisement here.
The profile tab: Yeah sure, but why is this top bar always showing me that I have completed my profile. this is only relevant for the first 24 hours you create a bunq account? and then it 'll just sit there idle till when you'll delete your bank account (which seems like a more real scenario every hour i'm using this app). These trophies are a waste of valueble UI space.
And why do i have to click AGAIN to see the settings. These are the things I expect when I click on "profile".
Then: The camera... why? I can imagine some people use this a lot. But can't we make this optional. I would never use this tab.
So before I had everything neatly distributed over several tabs, where now I have 2/3 tabs that's just there for nothing.
I know you guys are doing the best you can. But I would give a lot to go back to V2. A friend of mine is a BETA user, he has sent in a lot of this feedback a few times, and never heard back from you. So maybe you guys should first actually listen to the feedback from BETA users and fix those issues they have with it, instead of launching it anyway "because we know very well what our customers like" (-Ali Nikham). I'm sorry, but apparently you don't, and the fact that you keep denying that is not a very nice thing to do to your customers. Your pretending to know better than them.
