We kicked off 2019 with a new look of the app and we said that was only the beginning of a series of redesign efforts. In April, we released the all-new analytics giving you greater visibility to your daily, monthly, and yearly spending.
Now, we're excited to announce the release of our new send and request feature!
We’re only keeping what sparks joy!
We approached the redesign following Marie Kondo's philosophy of only keeping what sparks joy for our users. Whatever that doesn't spark joy simply needs to go.
As a result, we added micro-interactions, animations as well as a cool little 'ka-ching' sound to make the experience more joyful and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Building together
Through our user research and testing sessions, we gathered many feedback on the prototype we built. We then incorporate those feedback to reduce friction points in the experience.
For example, we now show your account balance on the right where you enter the send or request amount. You'll know exactly right away if you've enough money before you send money. Hopefully, this reduces the need to switch back and forth in search for the information.
