And the app doesn't look native to Android either. Some things are inherently non-Android, such as bottom tab-bars. All images are also low-res on my Galaxy Nexus and scrolling is laggy.

There are some great bugs as well: * It loads the wrong images and the flickers in the correct image later * Everything says "0 listings" * Clicking the map button crashes the app * It's very hard to sidescroll their custom ViewPager

WHen the article complains all the time about how it's oh so hard to deal with all those screen sizes I was expecting a terrible app and I was not surprised!

* Has <b> tags instead of actually bolding text

* Shows the price in my locale's format, not what they're actually charging!

* Intro movie is very annoying, and after it's done it moves around a few pixels every 10 seconds or so

* Sign in screen has a massive logo but the email and password fields don't fit on my Galaxy Nexus

That's after about 10 minutes using the app!
