General FEEDBACK on Google's Android OS!!! - Android General

Hi XDA devs! I am completing an independent study with the aim of identifying Android's biggest areas of improvement from the perspective of Designers, App Developers, Programmers, and, of course, End Users. This will be the first of several questions I pose, but hopefully the turnout and feedback will start us off right! Please submit feedback related to design, user interface, or functionality of the Android Operating system as it stands today. Please limit feedback to the most recent versions of Android (5.0 Lollipop - 5.1) as that will be most relevant. More questions are on the way! Thanks for your help! Your feedback is important as the end goal is to improve the OS we all love!
I will present the results of this study later in the year. Please subscribe if you're interested in being notified!
The link to the Google form is BELOW. Please submit all responses in the Google Form, not on the thread.

[App]Motivator Maker

Hello everyone,
Motivator Maker is a simple app that allows you to create motivational posters easily.
You can check it out here: xxx://market.android.com/details?id=air.motivatormkr&feature=search_result (sorry can't post a direct link)
It was released a few days ago and will be receiving some interesting updates soon.
Being a new developer I would enjoy all the comments and criticism I can get to make my product better. I would enjoy if you at least replied to this thread with at least some basic comments.
Thank you!
It's a great application for first applications maybe allowing users to upload motivators in a future version would be a cool update

The platform this will be coded for is irrelevant information for everyone except my team (surprises are half the fun...) if you are interested and experienced, please contact me through my inbox on xda.
