Removing importance so we find this during triage

Charith
Is it the lack of enticing content or lack of a compelling way to engage you or both?  Could you send a screenshot and describe what is not enticing?  This would help us create something more enticing.
Thanks - David

Charith -- thanks for this. I assume, based on the screenshots, that you are looking at this on a desktop. Have you also looked at it on a mobile device?

No, I hadn't but I just checked it on a mobile device and I think it looks very good on mobile(a small screened phone not a tablet). I liked this side panel that pops up and also the way it displays details of Apps.But I suppose the icons can be a little better(May be they are third party). Anyways it looks very good on mobile and I think it would be great if it looks good on desktop or a tablet too. By the way I still think that the navigation should come with the user when he/she scrolls.
