Omg, I thought I was the only one who noticed! I’m a product designer, and I totally second this—the new icons are really hard to tell apart.

Yes, they’re consistent and sleek, but honestly, it takes me 3x longer to find the right category compared to the old design.

Why not run a quick usability test or A/B test to compare time to task completion? I’d bet the old version would come out on top.

The pastel color scheme is not appealing and makes it difficult to tell the categories apart. The icons are too small and hard to recognize. If this was intended as an update, it doesn’t seem like a significant improvement, in my view.

I couldn’t agree so much, one of the reasons I like the app was the expense categorization was very clear with the icon colors. Now that is sooo light and all the outlines are black the same color, it is really hard to differentiate them at a glance and it affects accessibility as well, my vision isn’t super good so this change affects people like me. Stop trying to modernize it way too much, there was nothing wrong with the previous icons, they were indeed more helpful in terms of functionality. Please listen to this important feedback as like I said it affects people who have low vision capabilities

Doing my part to add to the noise on this - this UI is basically ‘enshittified’ now.

Strongly Agree! Colors are import distinguishers in any app. Poor decision to mute them so much.

Strong agree.
