I don't claim to know ui design. I've created a few icons here and there and it wasn't hard. Anyway, no need to continue to belabor the point.

True, which is why I said prioritize. If I have no other option, I have no other option. Some of my open source, small project apps have already made icons available. I really have a hard time understanding why a big (or even small) business is so resistant to it other than they want to train the customer as opposed to listening to consumer's minimal requests.

As it is now, apps without the material you theming go on my second "page". Only apps with material you go on my main screen.

It doesn’t really matter if the user “likes” it because it’s pretty.

I prioritize apps that have the option. If companies want me to choose their app over another, they'll offer it.

I have no problem identifying the app I want to use. My apps are alphabetized. Easy peasy.

The dynamic theming is a bit of a branding nightmare.

Probably one of the reasons I like it. Big red company icon next to the big black company icon next to the big pink company icon. Nah, I'll take the uniform design, please.

I love it. Personal preference, of course. :)
