Can we have an option to not smooth the balance chart? At the moment it’s useless and a waste of screen space, I’d like to see more accuracy. Don’t understand why it needs to be a curve.

Hey @Johnpigg 
We curved it because we wanted to show trends and to make it more digestible to less hard-core budgeters. Spiky graphs, stock market graphs can sometimes be a little intimidating.

I’d have thought most of your users ARE hardcore budgeters, surely that’s the point? Anyway, my suggestion was for a toggle to turn it from accurate to a trend chart. Personally I think this is the least useful part of the app, and actually if it was removed, the extra screen space would be far more useful…

I would guess 10% is hardcore.

I have to agree that the charts currently are a huge waste of space. They take up a lot of real estate with no customizable options i.e allowing users to show, tick and display more usable graphical content in the charts.
In short a huge chart with a basic line scheme
I do suggest adding customisation.

+1. It takes up a huge amount of screen space, forcing me to scroll to see my accounts, without adding any benefit.

+1. I like the chart on the top, I don’t mind the space it’s taking. But I do want to be able to choose between trend and accuracy

+1. Again…
+1 for this. The option would be nice at least.

I don’t dislike the charts but sometimes I feel like they are missing something.
Like, a bit frustrating the max comparison just goes back to 1Y; When actually comparing the trends year on year would be way more useful… I would like to see how am I ramping up to get to the same period as last year but saving/spending more money than before. Now, that’s an insight.

I agree, but when importing your bank account we take 12 months of data, so they would be empty at least for your first year in Emma. 
Agreed.
I would suggest an option to plot actual data ( with X/Y axis labels ) along with the (very) smoothed trend.

Thanks for this feedback!
We were playing around with graphs like this for investments - still doesn’t have an X/Y axis, but do you think it’s potentially easier to read than a curved graph?
For me, yes, this would be preferable ( with some scale indication … you can’t tell from the above if ETH was varying 0.1% (don’t care) or 50% (panic!) ).
The trend is still nice though. Suggest some options around the presentation here.
You could also have a stacked bar chart showing the total of all investments / net worth / evrything.
This is vastly better than the curved graph, I’d love to see something similar for bank accounts
Ok so maybe we could have a swipe left/right function so you can change the type of graph you’re looking at?
Awesome, thanks for letting us know! I’ll pass your suggestion onto the team 
Yep

Yes, I’d have to agree with the original poster - while the charts are pretty, they’re not very functional/helpful - they don’t seem to make much sense either, clicking on a part of the line that’s lower doesn’t always equate with a lower balance - it all just seems a bit random 
Furthermore, there doesn’t seem to be a clear correspondence between the differing timeframe views - one ought to see a relationship, surely?
All that said, the bar charts for monthly incomings & outgoings are a great feature (I’'m just not sold on the line charts - which appear more cosmetic than anything else!)
Could you please send us a screenshot any time you notice this? We can then look into what’s happening
