I agree that it's very confusing that the menu bar disappears on some screens. I also stepped into the trap of tapping my back button for example on the camera/us/profile tabs, expecting to end up at the me tab. Meaning I closed the app multiple times without wanting to. The me tab should act like the Home screen in the app in my opinion.
Yesterday, bunq released this thread about discovering more functions in V3. This means they even recognize that the app is not intuitive. But instead of improving it they just release a manual? Bunq is supposed to be the bank that makes life easy and saves time. How does V3 make banking easier and faster than V2? I still think it's a big downgrade from the previous experience.
Next to this, the tutorial for adding a receipt is wrong: In the video, they tap on a transaction and then on the flash, and a menu pops up where you have the different options. When I open the app, I just see all options directly on the transaction page without needing the flash. This also illustrates nicely why the flash is leading to an oversimplification of the app. Why introduce an extra button when all the features are right there?
From left to right: tutorial transaction view, tutorial flash menu, my android app (which I updated half an hour ago)
I think this also shows that the grey dark mode looks better than the black dark mode, it's incredibly hard to read stuff and see visual guides on that black background.
Some people say that the latest updates in V3 were a big improvement. I don't see it this way. Small things changed, but the fundamental design choices in V3 are just not right for usability.
