How it looks on my 8 inch tablet. The bar looks too small & I don't feel comfortable clicking the menu buttons. Plus unnecessary blank parts on both side of the bottom bar. The bottom bar size should follow device screen size.

My Tablet Screen size

Absolute Width : 1200px
Absolute Height : 1824px

(checked using CPU info app)

I really haven't tested the app for tablets yet 😅 You are the first one that I know that has done it! In general, I think the navigation bar works very well for smarthphone but not at all for tablets.

Multiple approach are available and I'll try to test and see which ones work best:

  • Navigation buttons on the top-right corner of the toolbar for tablets.
  • Full width navigation bar with the buttons centered (the problem with this is that the bar itself will take a lot of space that will remain empty)
  • Vertical navigation bar on the left side of the screen for tablets (since you can put your tablet on portrait mode and it will make the blank space even bigger).

Full width navigation bar with the buttons centered

I think 2nd approach is better. It matches with our current mobile UI.

Something similar to this. Screenshots from Aurora Store & F-Droid app. Both screenshots taken from my Tab

  • Make bigger size Navigation bar/buttons.
