Android App UX Design Evolution

The Banno Mobile app on Android is going through a user experience (UX) design modernization to reflect Google’s Material Design 3 standards. To ensure a cohesive, high-performing experience and gradually prepare financial institutions and your accountholders for the new UX, Jack Henry is implementing the required updates incrementally with the release of Banno Mobile versions 3.29 through 3.33.

The sections below describe the changes expected with each release, providing a bird’s eye view of the progress to date and the progress still to come.

Mobile 3.29

Shipped

Released on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Banno Mobile 3.29 on Android included one significant UX design update – all screens throughout the app now conform to Google’s new 16 KB screen-size requirement, as seen in the example screenshot below.

While preparing Mobile 3.29 for Android, our design and engineering teams were also conducting foundational research on the app’s existing template system:

Audited current navigation patterns
Assessed alignment with Material Design guidelines
Evaluated where updates will best provide value

Mobile 3.30

Shipped

Submitted to the Play Store on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Banno Mobile 3.30 on Android included only minimal UX updates. Our team is still evaluating the future of how Banno Mobile will create and consume app themes on Android to fully align with Material 3 standards. Implementing this change ensures the app evolves seamlessly with future changes to Material.

Mobile 3.31

Building

Currently, we’re still considering how Banno Mobile will create and consume app themes on Android.

By late January 2026 (right around the release of Banno Mobile 3.31), our Mobile design and engineering teams expect to have a firm strategy in hand. At that point, we will publish additional details on the plan for the subsequent versions below.

Mobile 3.32

Building

We’re shifting our previously communicated timeline slightly — the UX design updates originally slated for version 3.32 are now moving to the Mobile 3.33 release.

Don’t worry, though; we’re still moving full steam ahead! By taking a little extra time to solidify the Material 3 foundation in 3.33, we’ll be well positioned to accelerate our momentum in the coming months.

Mobile 3.33

Planning

Explorations for moving to Material 3 have concluded, and Mobile 3.33 marks the kickoff of our related updates. Conversion will involve a flow-based approach, with foundational work starting this release by generating and consuming themes with the Material Theme Builder.

Once released, the primary color will align to the bodyTextThemeColor property of the current Banno theme. Our first conversion will likely involve the Recently used devices screen in 3.33. And we will flesh out and refine the list further in subsequent releases.

Mobile 3.34

Details to come. Stay tuned.
