Everything new is the same. Because everything has to be disruptive innovative hockey stick growth bullshit.

Here's a screenshot of tha app for a Swedish bank, Klarna: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FHXG5bPX0AIC1oe?format=jpg&name=.... They are a bank. They offer credit cards, and fast online credit payments.

And no, "Payments" isn't a list of your payments you've done throught them, that's behind two or three clicks now. It's what you owe them.




What the actual fuck. If you ever come to Australia the Commonwealth Bank and Australia Post apps are two examples to restore faith in humanity.

They are functional, practical, reasonably intuitive and they keep improving with actual valuable and handy features. Every now and then it still boggles my mind when I use them.

Whenever there is a request for reviews I make sure to mention it. I hope the dev team is paid well because they clearly deserve it.


To be fair, the other bank I use, Handelsbanken, is also sane: displays all the info you need, gives you quick access to functionality etc. Not without its issues, but Klarna takes the cake :))
