I just updated Notability on my iPad, it has a new layout and a dark theme among other changes.
I don't mind if a layout of an app if changed and I'm OK also with the flat design. However, I think this new layout is a step back in functionality:
1) the group list is not as clear as it was before, with colorful option on or off it is harder to distinguish between a group and a separator
2) the note title is not bold anymore and therefore does not really stand out from the note tekst
3) it is probably good to have a dark theme but I have seen much better implementations in other apps
4) the releases notes speak of "beautiful new icons": this is personal taste of course but I find them hum-hum
I already sent the developers an email, but I was wondering if I'm the only one who finds some functionality/user friendlyness is lost with this new layout.
