I like the concept a lot. I feel like it needs a bit more polish but I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe there is too much color or the interface is too busy. Try adding some padding.
Yeah it's a busy app for sure; lots of things to do (did you take a look at the plugin store?) and discover - and I agree: some of it could use some more love with regard to design.
We wanted a playful look for the app, hence its colorfulness. Maybe we took it a little too far?
I think the 'too far' is simply the sample image you are using for 'Besties'. Five friends laying on the ground covered in colorful paint and making silly faces says "we are having an extremely fun time at this event" but doesn't make me think "I feel like playing games on my phone" ... it makes me think "I want to go outside and enjoy real life".
If you used a much more toned-down image of some friends having fun together, maybe simply holding their phones by their sides and laughing at something, it would make me feel more at ease that this app knows its place in my world.
