Well designed, effective use of space, ugly
The app is very well designed. Layout and actions make it easy to do genealogy one-handed :) with most bread and butter tasks a tap or context menu away. Good integration with Ancestry features is invaluable. However, the app is visually plain, with the overuse of flat design at times rendering actionable areas non-obvious, resulting in not infrequent hunting and pecking. A bit of Beverly or drop shadow or even simple coloring or outlining would render actionable areasvisually distinctive. The old faux leather look is definitely missed. Visual aesthetics should not be underestimated in making the app experience pleasurable.
