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
