Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

On my iPhone (XS), the number of columns makes viewing the category names and data difficult.
When out shopping, I want to be able to view my budget line item quickly and determine the amount available and if I can afford that item.
Knowing how much I budgeted this month and how much I have spent doesn't make any difference to me in that moment.

See image below of a comparison between actual and ynab:

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

  • If screen width < some threshold, only show the 'category name' and 'balance', don't show budgeted amount or spent amount.

Teaching and learning

Don't think there's any doco that would need to be written for this.
