2. The problem is that different opacities of the same color aren't as easily distinguishable. Nonetheless I tried some different variants here http://imgur.com/a/inGAD. (1) simply replaces the different colors with different opacities and leaves everything else the same, I think it looks too random. (2) does not fade out the additional bars to the left, slightly more differentiated but too cluttered. (3) keeps all the additional bars at the same opacity, looks best IMO. What do you think?
3. The reading mode button in IE does not have a label either, so that only leaves the open-in-IE button. Hopefully with the IE icon that one should be obvious as well.
4. Oh yeah the tilt effect, it doesn't really make much sense for those buttons beneath the browser anyway so I removed it there.
5. If you don't mind, I'll email you using the address in your profile once the beta is out. Might take a few more weeks.
6. I was worried about that screen not being very discoverable. The navigation is indeed a bit Android-like, so I tried to compromise by using another icon that makes sense (switch) instead of the hamburger icon. However it seems many people don't realize what the switch button does, and miss out on the settings menu because of it. I'll probably have to replace the app icon with the hamburger icon. Also, you can always use the back button to go back, is that not obvious (honest question, even if it sounds weird)?
7. (1) "Water you doing" is just a silly pun, I'm surprised you pointed out the extraneous space but ignored the "water" part :p (2) That is a margin/spacing issue, did you increase the system font size? The settings screen is kind of thrown together with very little customization, the toggle switch does not wrap its label by default but still there should usually be enough space for the full text. (3) Thanks, the hyphen seems to be more appropriate when it's used as an adjective so I added it.
8. Generally agree, but only if it's absolutely required to understand how to use the app. That's not the case here.
And finally, I really appreciate your feedback, it's useful to me whether you like the app or not :)
