Great work, I downloaded and played around, it's a useful app and am glad it's working out for you. I may be picky as I work as an iOS developer but I definitely see the places where it doesn't look or feel native to me and unfortunately list scrolling and view transitions still stutter - I understand this is a known issue the Flutter team is working on and is out of your control. Overall probably expected and reasonable trade-offs for a cross-platform framework.

Cool, thanks a lot for the review and feedback! I think oftentimes it's hard to tell if it's a problem with the framework/SDK or your own code. I can't deny that there is a lot unoptimized code (for performance) in my app and I'm sure native iOS would be more forgiving. I guess it's 50/50 fault of my own negligence and flutter causing this jank.

I migrated from being a lifetime Android user to an iOS user a few years ago and I’m also a paid user of your app. StockEvents has never felt jankier than iOS as a whole. Is it perfect? No but iOS itself is filled with bugs and inconsistencies (just like Android). It’s definitely never felt out of place UX wise, I can’t think of any app I use regularly that uses much of the native iOS UI toolkit (except maybe the phone Settings) so I really have no specific expectations.

These are actual issues recognised by the Flutter team themselves - you can't really hand wave them away as being standard iOS issues.

I think the point was that from the perspective of the user the experience isn't any worse than a native IOS app. Your user likely doesn't know or care about the difference between a Flutter issue vs a Native IOS issue. You just don't want them to open the app and say wow this is jankier than normal, I don't trust it.

Saying Flutter and native iOS share the same issues is not the same as denying it as a Flutter issue.
