Thank you for the thorough review!
I can find myself in most of your points, and I'm actually glad to hear ways of use from anyone. Your remark on that it's more developed from a developers' than a users' point of view is correct. It's not impossible for me to think from a users point of view though as I'm a heavy user of all those programs myself, and so I run into the same issues as others.
The thing I've tried to do though is try to keep the flow which you have to follow in SABnzbd, CP and SB itself intact. That's why you get an overview of all statuses when you tap on an episode in Qouch for example. I can't just make a download button because then I'll leave out the users that do want to be able to switch to other statuses, and believe me, there are plenty of those, including myself.
Also, my app is focussed on people that were already using one of the three programs I support. So they should be aware of how those apps work and that's why I see it as a plus that Qouch works in almost the same way.
I do agree with you though that it should be simpler for the more novice users, that's why I also like the way Apple implements their products. Simple, but perfectly worked out functionality, and not to many options. I find it hard to implement such a philosophy in Qouch though due to the before mentioned reasons. But maybe you have a suggestion to fuse both ways into one.
One more thing that I am planning, is a huge UI overhaul which will work more like how the Sparrow app currently works. I like how you can slide away views that you don't need at that moment, but are still able to quickly go back to the main navigation. Such a navigation structure also works a lot better on the iPad than the current UI of Qouch. See the Twitter and Facebook apps for example.
The problem is though that this was my first mobile app ever and that I sticked to the native UI components in the spirit of learning how to work with those first. But all your input is greatly appreciated. Wether it be critics or compliments, I'm open to all suggestions when they are well motivated.
So my target for now is to first get Qouch 90% feature-complete, and then find a good way to implement all those features in a more easy to understand and navigable UI.
