This is really nice for testing. It uses most of the pretend-native components I was interested in.

Right off the bat, I notice stuttering animations everywhere: Scrolling, swiping back, etc... This is on an iPhone 13.

In one section, the keyboard opened on top of a text-field so I couldn't see what I was typing.

The components are _just_ different enough that I feel something is wrong, but for the most part, I can't tell what it is.

Then there's a bunch of minor stuff. Switches become slightly larger when they change. You cant swipe down modals. You can't drag & release over options in the sheet. I feel like I'm missing buttons more often.

Overall, I get a vague cheap feel. Not so bad that I would outright dismiss the app as a customer, but I would definitely look for alternatives.

This isn't a critique of the app. I think all of these issues are flutter-related.
