Bringing pensions to life
The Royal London app makes it easy to see my pension’s current value at a glance, check my total contributions, and view individual investments and their values. The projections to my retirement date are also useful.
Three improvements would make it much more helpful:
• Investment graphs showing both cumulative contributions and pension value over time, so I can distinguish money paid in from investment growth.
• The ability to take screenshots again. It’s my financial information, and I should be able to save a snapshot for my own records.
• A retirement illustration showing how my pension pot might reduce as I draw an income, with adjustable assumptions for withdrawals, investment growth and life expectancy.
A useful app for checking where I stand today, but better tools for understanding performance and planning retirement would add considerable value.

Removed ability to take a screen shot in the app
I have a fair number of investment apps. Once a month I take screen shots of all my balances and upload them to my AI investment tool. This is no longer possible with the Royal London app.

The Boss
I like the fact that you use the Boss to symbolise that we are owned by you. The app is so neat and easy to use. Well done designers. If the concern is that the use of the term Boss is deemed hierarchical then use say Stakeholder instead? Personally, I like it as makes me feel valued.

Get rid of ‘Boss’ and bring back screenshots
The ‘Boss’ intro is gimmicky and not suited to a serious finance app.
Screenshot function has gone so I now have to write things down. That’s not progress. At least make that function user choice.
