Smooth scrolling.

Here's an experiment for you. Open up an app in your phone. Pretty much any app with do... A browser, a social media app like Twitter, Slack, or Facebook, a news apps perhaps... anything that scrolls.
Run your finger up and down the screen. See how smoothly it scrolls? Flick your finger up the screen quickly and watch words and pictures fly nimbly up the screen until you tell them to stop. Put your finger on the screen and wiggle it up and down, and watch how quickly the display scrolls to keep up with it.
Now open the Magic:Puzzle Quest app. Scroll the activity hub up and down. Not very smooth, is it? It's passable, tho. Flick your finger up and down the screen. Doesn't move very often does it? Kinda ****. Still, it's not a big deal. I can live with that. Now go into your Planeswalkers. Scroll left and right a bit. Eww, thats pretty horrible now, isn't it? Try scrolling from one end of the list to the other. Wow, that's actually inconvenient! Now go edit the deck. Scroll through your card pool. it's just some pictures and words scrolling, why is it so awful? I mean, maybe you have to decrypt or download the pictures, I dunno. It's possible that takes a little time. You've seen how apps on PCs do it, tho, haven't you? They give you the scrolling functionality with words right away, and then fill the pictures in as you go along.
Hey, come to think of it, isn't there like, a default library function for scrolling built into the operating system?
Sort it out.

I click on the scroll bar at the bottom of cards
selection. maybe planeswalkers could have a
similar bar as I like playing with both arlinn
and sorin.
