My main issue is the lack of good contrast, it really hurts.
Impersonally like iOS designs. I like when things like Apollo follow the stock feel. It normally comes out nice.
I love Material You when apps are designed to work with Monet color theming and use the default system navigation bar. Apps that deviate from that become an eye sore.
That being said, Material isn't my favorite design language for mobile OSes. I still prefer interfaces based on layers of gaussian blur, like iOS 7, Windows' Aero and similar.
I like it. I'd like it even more if it one day accomplishes the goal of making every application on an Android phone look graphically consistent.
I'm pragmatic, as long as it's easy on the eyes and conducive to read (in the sense in which you "read" an image, can't think of a better word), I'm good. I have always tended to cram everything and the kitchen sink in one screen and the push for material you has taught me the importance of a clean composition.
For now I'm good, but I'm open to change.
I'm just kind of sick of Android in general, tbh. Google has killed off almost everything that made it fun to play with new Android versions, and somehow made it less intuitive/easy to use for advanced/experienced users in the constant pursuit of - ironically - ease of use. For example: why is it now a swipe and three taps to disable wifi in the Quick Settings panel, when previously it was a swipe and one tap?
No, I love it.
I actually like it very much!
I love it
Same, I like how playful it can be
My only issue is not easily being able to scroll to the bottom without overshooting to flip pages. I hate not being able to flip pages from the top, but not being able to quick scroll to the bottom too is really counter intuitive.
It definitely grew on me over time, and as more apps began to embrace it. Really well-detailed apps, like Sync, showed the true potential of what Material You can be like. It's also a little easier to distinguish the pastel and tint in sunlight (at least with sunglasses on), so that's a major plus.
I think it's nice as long as you have a custom ROM with root to tweak it. It's UNUSABLE on its default state.
But I still miss Holo and its mystique so much, it was perfect on small screens and needed some tweaking to be a mature, elegant, unique and expressive UI design language.
What changes do custom roms let you make?
Wasn't a fan at the beginning, now I think it's great.
Absolutely not.
I'm way more tired of the designs before it, or the apps halfway into the design language but not really. Especially if it is to the point where just using the material you colours you have seperates it, signal comes to mind there for example.
Some apps can keep their design layout but please let me use my material you colours anyways
I hate that desaturate bluish background that is everywhere now. A lot of the apps look the same, and the removal of colours from notification icons just makes everything feel flat, soulless, and unsuitable for quick glances.
Absolutely like it. This design is very cool and has huge potential
