  • The selection prompt exist. It’s just implemented in a way that’s less than ideal. On first start a popup appears informing you about the existence of other UI layouts.

    There are just two problems with it:

    1. you can’t actually set the UI in the pop-up. Instead you have to click a link in the pop-up which takes you to the corresponding settings page.
    2. the prompt shows up after the UI has already loaded. So it doesn’t read as helpful at first glance. To most people, it seems to be an annoying pop-up that keeps you from accessing the app, that you can already clearly see in the background, instead. So they close it without reading it.





  • Wero is great for what it does (sending money to other people) and it’s going to gain the functionality needed for online commerce.

    But that only covers half the functionality provided by Visa and MasterCard. You also need the functionality to pay at a restaurant or in the supermarket. You know, the card part of MasterCard?

    Some European countries have their own debit card system (here in Germany for example giropay) but once you cross the border that stops working. Which is why those cards are usually co-badged with one of the big networks to act as a fallback. That’s where the EU should act to ensure that the fallback functionality isn’t necessary anymore, at least as long you’re in the Euro-zone.
