My understanding is that the current web-app navigation UI was intended to be 
aligned as closely as possible with the browser: 
(https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IpCWtWuGPES5llwmoscawhn2IG4fxOggMO8F_RM_zms/edit)
 

Using radial menus on the bottom edge has the potential to introduce its own 
disadvantages, so may not be a 'quick-fix' to this; 
- the introduction of additional steps to navigating (the first of which is an 
edge-gesture) 
- making navigation less immediately discoverable
- discouraging the use of the bottom-edge by developers for anything else if 
the expectation becomes 'that's where navigation occurs' (when we typically 
encourage that the bottom-edge be used for the most 
critical/interesting/exciting action available) 
- etc.

Could you provide the reports you mentioned and/ or some illustration
(e.g. screenshots) of the problem you're describing to help us
understand the issue?  The hide/ reveal Navigation UI pattern that is
used by web-apps has long been present in the browser, scopes, contacts
& telephony, etc - Just about anything with a 'header' (see comparative
screenshots below).
