Snoop 4.0 beta is making Snoop better

Joe's reaping the benefits of Snoop 4.0 ⚡

This month Snoop announced a beta for a new version, Snoop 4.0—an updated experience for the Snoop app.

Snoop invited me to test the new version out, and there's good news… Snoop's becoming more efficient, easier to use and smarter!

Benchmarking my spending 🏋️‍♂️

Snoop shared some interesting stats on how much I spent compared to the average spend of other users at different businesses this month.

Insightful to read, I came away with a feel-good feeling to see a relative snapshot of my spending—even for where I spent more than the average with some businesses. 

Simply having that insight helped me limit my spending this month where necessary.

Slashing the time spent on admin for repayments ⚔️

Snoop 4.0 (helpfully) redesigned the home screen of the Snoop app. 

A new row appears at the top of the app allowing you to scroll left and right to see all of your accounts, making it easier than ever to see the balance of them all at-a-glance.

At first I was sceptical (from being so familiar with the old design), though after using it daily, I've found it even more effective—especially when it comes to making payments against debts.

I usually switch between Snoop and provider apps when I need to make a payment. I'd use Snoop to see quickly how much I could afford to pay for each account. 

I'd then check the provider's app and ensure I'm paying at least the minimum payment requested, then I'd switch back to Snoop to rinse and repeat this process to make all my payments.

I didn't time myself doing this, though for this admin task, I'd roughly estimate that I completed this in circa half of the time it took me previously. A noticeable difference that I'm thankful for 🕑
