Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on this.
So we’re working our asses off to resolve this. iOS was a breeze, but we agree, Android isn’t at the same level.
Which is what inspired our WIP-Nav branch.
This branch is basically a rework of our navigation logic (the ionic side, not ui-router) which should make navigation on both iOS and Android incredibly fast and smooth. Having tested it out on booth iOS and Android devices, I can confirm that.
Another thing we’re hoping to work is our scrolling. Our current implementation uses javascript based scrolling. But as platforms advance, it’s clear this is no longer needed. We can use native scrolling and have features like pull-to-refresh and infinite scroll. This alone will boost performance, especially on lower end 4.0 device.
As we wrap things up for beta 14 and onward, we’re hoping that we can do what ever we can to make Android as great as iOS.
…So to recap, we’re upset by it too, it is a high priority to us, and we’re working on it
