Can you say exactly where to improve it?
Not the person you replied to, but to my eye it feels unnecessarily complicated and confusing. The organization of info could be simpler, and the card that pulls up partially in front of the list of entries seems unnecessarily confusing and always feels like it defies my expectations of how I should be able to interact with it.
Droid-ify has almost all of the same functionality and info displayed, but is an infinitely simpler layout, and a lot easier for me to parse. I don't have to spend time trying to interpret the ui, figure out what's where, and understand what I'm looking at
Moving the sort and filter menu to the top header bar Moving the sideways tabs for app categories to the hamburger menu, that's what the icon suggests for me. Remove the app version from the app list, it just adds noise All the buttons on the app page are primary actions, they all have the same importance. For example, the favourite button is the same size and style as the launch button, in this case it could be a simple icon button to give the importance to the launch button. Also I think there is generally too much padding around the elements and that makes it look cluttered/busy when there is not much going on
