Can Paying Friends Be Fun? Venmo Features News Feed Of Payments In Redesigned App
"Josh paid Aaron $391 for best Coachella weekend ever". Peer-to-peer payments app Venmo thinks that when you pay someone back for drinks, dinner, or concert tickets, you're really sharing memories, and your friends will want to see. So today it relaunches its iOS, Android, and BlackBerry apps with a news feed of payments now featured on the homescreen.The redesign follows interface trends from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so Venmo is more familiar for first-timers, and puts the "Pay" button in the navigation bar so you can quickly settle your debts. It has also notified users via email that payments now default to publicly visible to other Venmo'ers.42% of payments on Venmo were already being shared, even though its news feed was buried deep in the app.Will the redesign be enough to fend off PayPal and help Venmo go mainstream?Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Z-ZIJvIQjcw/
