New dive/Add function
Subsurface follows a peculiar approach with a central icon that irremediably covers the last dive displayed. IMHO making worthless the space it saved not using the action bar. The classic approach would layout the Add button in the right lower corner. There is a reason for that: if the last item has a short description you do not cover it. In other words: we write and read left to right so the most important info should be always on the left. Of course, in Arabic language most info are mirrored. IMHO our Add symbol lies just in the center like a kick in the ass. This is the classic approach:
I'm obsessed with defaults. It means less UI click/tap to complete a task.
What is the most common action on Subsurface main screen? Is it "add dive manually"? Are we sure? Once the BT download feature will be ready I guess that I will find myself using subsurface mobile to download data from my Petrel 99% of the time. So we could have a choice for that button function. Hence an alternate version would be:
