He’s not an idiot. This app is intuitive. That feature was requested by users. That’s how it worked in Apollo and users liked it. Just because You don’t like it, it doesn’t mean it’s not intuitive.
I love the app. The app is intuitive. I think is great that the feature was requested by users because Apollo did it in the same way.
But, that kind of bottom bars usually are not used like this, long pressing one of the tab options.
I like the feature but it’s not intuitive. There is no indicators that show the user have to long press there. And as a sample you can see this thread.
