There is no focus in the app. I have no idea what to do when I see the UI.

Try removing all the unnecessary lines and complexities, such as the borders of the images, the dividing line between the top bar ("Journal") and the subheading("recent"). Remove the gap at the bottom between green stripe and the phone UI.

I think there are too many colors, that don't match well. You could make the color of the titles ("Dress I need...") like the color of the UI.

That would probably make the app easier on the eye.

Then you could also not italicize the description of each item ("Me, 61-73...") to make it easier to read.

On the right screenshot: Don't allow titles of images be too long. "Movies to Wa..." seems broken, use "Movies" instead.

Hope this helps. These observations are only based on the screenshots provided, I haven't tried the app.

Not everyone has an iPhone. I don't.
