Try getting used to the app first instead of immediately suggesting all kinds of GUI changes! Apparently, a certain design approach has been chosen.
The alpha group, which gets to try out the app first, includes all age groups: 20s/30s, 40s/50s, and 60+. I belong to the last category and often get a “boomer comment” thrown at me, even though I don’t even have one of those boomer-style flip cases around my phone!
That said, I can take it perfectly well and am more than capable of firing back with a few comebacks of my own
Personally, I think the entire layout, as it stands now, is a remarkable feat of programming! Could it be improved? Absolutely. Will the team listen to suggestions? You bet!
