Add moving header (separator) with month indicator to account balance layout

When choosing to show more than the default one-month period in a given account balance screen, it gets really hard locating a transaction in a specific month in the past.

I thought inserting a moving header with the current displayed month (that scrolls along with the transaction lines) would make it easier to rapidly scroll through all the transactions and find a specific month.

Edit: just like 'Balance' and 'More' tabs. They have headers for 'Payment Accounts', 'Credit Cards', 'Settings', 'Help', etc and they all behave like I imagined for the month headers.

Example:

Jan., 2020

• Transaction 01
• Transaction 02
• Transaction 03

Dec., 2019

• Transaction 04
• Transaction 05
• Transaction 06

Nov., 2019

• Transaction 07
• Transaction 08
• Transaction 09

 

Then, scrolling...

Jan., 2020 < (it stays on screen until all its transactions are scrolled out)

• Transaction 03

Dec., 2019

• Transaction 04
• Transaction 05
• Transaction 06

Nov., 2019

• Transaction 07
• Transaction 08
• Transaction 09

Oct., 2019

• Transaction 10

  Hello! Have you tried using the search feature?

  Hello Yaro!

  That is indeed a solution but for a specific known transaction since the app doesn't allow a search by month (except for the custom period). But what if I can't find it and just want to scroll down until I do.

  And also, while doing an account reconciliation, I think it would be more appealing to have this separators explicitly showing which month the user is on (sometimes I just forget to keep track on my expenses and leave 2-3 weeks of transactions behind).

  Just my opinion based on other finance apps I've used, maybe other users might think it would pollute the layout.

  Kind regards!
