Tester Feedback — Eko UX & Design Observations

[Naveen Reddy]

Hi Eko team,

Been testing the app and wanted to share some UX/design observations:

1. Four accent colors (orange, purple, teal, green — one per section) creates a rainbow feel that works against visual cohesion. One or two accent colors throughout would feel much more intentional.

2. Four "+" CTAs visible simultaneously alongside a FAB is action-heavy. On first launch it's hard to know where to start. Collapsing sections by default and surfacing a single primary action would reduce the overwhelm.

3. "Up next" as a section title reads like a media player queue. "Upcoming" or "Schedule" communicates the intent more clearly.

4. Six bottom-nav tabs (Home, Notes, Tasks, Habits, Cal, Eko AI) is crowded for a mobile nav bar. The "Eko AI" tab also uses a circular logo icon while all others use line icons — the inconsistency draws the eye for the wrong reason. Worth considering whether AI features could live inside existing tabs rather than claiming their own slot.

Overall the concept is solid and the section-based layout gives it good structure. Small consistency wins here would go a long way.

For reference, I'm also building a sports group-expense app called Court Split — happy to compare notes on UX tradeoffs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.naveenreddy.courtsplit

Thanks for building in public!
