I guess it needs a sort of “onboarding” the first time you open the app.

It might be more intutitive if:

  • changing the text in the field to "Search..." or "Tap to Search"
  • perhaps using the magnifier icon
  • or outlining the field so that you can see that it's an input box.

Thank you I didn’t know about that and I was looking for that function 😅😅

Yeah, we're working on a better design solution for that, since it is definitely not intuitive the way it is now.

It’s fine once you’ve discovered it, but the lack of onboarding in the app means you’ll probably never discover it on your own

Just making it a visible search bar would be a huge starter because right now it looks like a header.

This is how it worked in Apollo too.
