UI & UX Suggestions
Use a clean white, blue accent for interactive elements, red for critical flags colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
