Not sure who else has experiencing this but with the App bar currently being at the top, it really not much of a convenience if you have to reach buttons often.
Any attempts in bringing the bar down (closer to the reach of the thumb/finger) in future versions would be very helpful I believe.
I think it would be useful to have this feature in AnkiMobile as well, recently iPhones have larger display sizes, so Safari and Chrome have the function to put the bar bottom.
I think the overflow menu would look weird at the bottom. Those options are in the menu in the first place because you don’t use them often.
I like Telegram’s UI. I think we can actually implement a similar thing, where swiping from DeckPicker screen can move users to other screens. The pencil icon in Telegram hides away when you scroll through your chats. That can be done for the + icon in AnkiDroid.
