100% agree.

In my opinion the messages* app would be better with gestures:
- remove all buttons: more space for content/bigger font
- replace the "back" button with a swipe right ("mark as unread", keep in message list)
- replace the "tick" button with a swipe left ("mark as read", remove from message list)
In my free time I could try to write some code. I promise nothing but I'd like to contribute :-D

*By the way, why is the app called "Messages"? Wouldn't "Notifications" be a better name? The app does nothing but show notifications ...

It can show TEXTs, WhatsApp messages, Facebook Messenger messages. It depends if you have set your phone up to pass on these to GadgetBridge.

Precisely! I can receive a notification from a Calendar app/RSS reader/a game etc. "Notifications" is a more generic name but it's only my opinion :-)
