Hi, I'm sorry if I sound a bit direct but why the app is not reusing the design of the mobile frontend? That would at least gives a consistent experience to the user who sometimes use the app and sometimes uses the web

Hey @Ladsgroup — thanks for the feedback and no worries, we like it "direct". A few weeks back, we released a few thoughts on app strategy over on the design style guide. Check it out, I believe it contains answers to your question re: "usage the mobile web frontend". That said, we definitely aim to achieve a certain level of consistency across platforms and allocated more resources to the "design systems" initiatives, just recently. Hope that helps & let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks, Robin
