### 4/5 — Glad it’s back, still needs work

*2026-05-07*

Tab bar could really benifit from being cleaned up to 4, personal reccs would be:
- Option to hide AI tab
- Videos in Library tab
- Home should be Categories, with the first category “View All,” Search bar at the bottom/top of page
- Info renamed to “Settings”
- Blog shows only most recent article, tapping shows more
- Liquid Glass UI elements

Really appreciate one time purchases > subscriptions. Otherwise stoked the app is back, content is phenomenal but I hope the UI continues to modernize in the future

**Developer response:** backed to a native app and i hope you like it
