For starters, some cool new features were added with the update. I think the bill splitting is a great idea (although it’s not really the time to go out for drinks with friends).
The menu bar has also slightly improved. I think ‘home’ and ‘community’ make a bit more sense than ‘me’ and ‘us’.
The updates to the circles, and the ability to hide them are nice. Although I would have preferred to see an option where you can change the content of the bubbles yourself. For me it boils down to hiding all the bubbles, as none of them show the information I like to see.
The ‘home’ screen already looked nice and still looks fine. I do not really like my bunq.me link showing in there though. It would be great if I could hide this, or at least change the background color of it.
The ‘community’ tab is still something I do not think should be in the banking app. I think the whole page is useless and the fact that Ali said it was pretty much perfect and didn’t need any chances, while it was the most hated item of entire V3 (and that’s a very doubtful honor) is simply shocking.
The ‘profile’ page looks a lot cleaner, which is great, but I find it to be a bit confusing that the fold menu is called ‘my accounts’. I assume this is a bug.
Last, two small notes:
- The loading speed of the app has been very bad since the launch of V3. This still has not changed. This should be a priority.
- Clicking any menu item (especially going to Together) opens a new window in which the menu bar is no longer visible. It takes quite a few clicks to go back. It would be very nice if the menu bar could be 'always on top'
Overall the bunq V3 got some nice updates and it’s slowly but steadily improving. For my personal taste there is still some way to go and more customisation would definitely be nice to see.
