It’s worth looking at the previous thread: Android app getting a little iOSy
I’ll also repost my opinion (slightly edited):
Whilst I prefer navigation drawers, the bottom navigation is better UI, even if it feels less material design like, as it avoids hiding options. It’s not that this app is particularly perfect when it comes to material design. I wish it were more so.
However, the bottom bar does currently have problems:
- It has too much height and shadow, which makes it look odd to me.
- I wish that it would hide when it scrolled.
- It would also be nice if the settings could be added to the card page, and the help to a new bottom nav tab - and then the navigation drawer removed completely
