Some serious usability issues with anti-patterns.

- Why navigation bar on bottom of screen?

- Sometimes close is in left, sometimes on bottom. Pick one.

- Overusing the blurred background pattern. Use it sparingly to provide context, or layering.

- 3 dots icon is sharing?

- No search for finding activities

- When you tap a sport, it spawns multiple view controllers. Leads to crashing the app.



I personally like the navigation bar at the bottom. It's a natural resting place for your thumb and a good call if this is one of the main menus.

I like the consistent use of blurred backgrounds too. However on the sports scroll I'd wait until the scroll has settled to change the background image -- when you're scrolling quickly through the list it can cause the app to stutter.

Great work overall! Your app is beautiful.


Thanks a bunch! We really like the bottom placement for navigation as well as it's a small hassle to always reach the very top to go to a different section.

You're 100% right on the sports scroller. Will improve this greatly in the future and try to get it really silky smooth. Actually using Path's FastImageCache in today's version. https://github.com/path/FastImageCache


Good feedback, thank you! This is only our first version, and will absolutely take this back to the team.


another major anti pattern being the use of an app excluding anyone on a computer
