Hi Daniel, there's one thing that stood out for me: the headings are hard to spot, for instance in the first screen the 'FAQ' section is more prominent than 'Welcome'. Should be vice-versa. I would make them bold and give them a darker color.

A second look made me doubt about the alignment of the text but I'm not sure on that point. Then I spotted the grey search bar on the already grey background combined with a grey text and grey bar at the top that makes it look a bit dull and hard to read. I would suggest adding some white, maybe as a background maybe just for the search bar.

Other than that, good job! I love people who improve the Ubuntu user experience.
Keep it up & cheers!

Daniel: any ideas about the above?

[Daniel McGuire (danielmcguire)]

Hello Daniel,

I have looked at the above and a problem with what is said is that most of what was noted are "problems" resulting from the HTML5 API, the headers, text, color, font, background color etc... All are default and set from the HTML5 API.

I have no problem changing any of that however I feel that it would loose the Ubuntu style and not look native. What do you think?

The only thing I can not do is put a background image in the app of any sorts, a colour is possible but it does require hacking to some extent.

I wish I knew of a better way to get the screenshots of the app, I think it would show that it isn't that hard to tell the difference between the elements.

I will look at the headers and fonts to see if I can make it look better.

Thanks for sending the feedback over :)
