  • My feelings resonate with a lot of the comments I see in this thread. I appreciate the active development on the app and in some respects I like the new ui. I like the new card layout on the accounts page, I can see more accounts in one go and I also like the ability to hide accounts.

    But overall I fear the pendulum swung to far in the direction of simplification. I now feel like tasks require more steps/taps in v3 than they did in V2.

    Gripes:
    - making a payment used to be available from the accounts screen. Now it is hidden under the plus in an account.
    - viewing payment details requires the redundant step of selecting view more (I’m already on a detail page, why hide the details?)
    - adding a note to a payment is hidden under the plus, I can live with that. But it isn’t consistently available across payments.
    - where can I see (all) my scheduled payments?
    - where can I see set up income sorting?
    - the us tab is not a particularly logical location for the bunq.ME links imho
    - the cashflow breakdown feels squished on the profile page. Why not make it a statistic bubble on the Me page that leads to its own view?

    • I’ve been using the app for a while now, but about a year ago I decided to go full bunq. The switch service was super convenient and allowed me to make the jump without having to check my old bank account regularly for outdated transactions.
      But recently my switch service ended. And though I thought to have been thorough in communicating my change in bank account, a few recurring transactions had slipped through the cracks. Which meant I had to log into my old bank account and move money between the two to pay all my dues.

      What would have helped me to track down all outdated transactions, would have been an indicator in the activity overview. For instance a small switch service badge on the transaction icon.
