You could contact the developers. I think the UI could be improved, but for me functional improvements are more important, such as being able to follow OSM-routes (route relations for long distance hiking and cycling) without having to import a gpx. OsmAnd is being outsmarted and outdated in that respect by a daily increasing number of apps.
