That's strange. The PDF manual does install with the app though so at least you have that.

I will say one thing after installing it. It looks very powerful, but the UI needs a serious overhaul. It's very confusing.

It also downloads and places texture files in your gallery folder. I totally agree with you about the UI needing some work. I tried using the app for a few minutes and gave up. I will probably give it another try later on.

Oh I hadn't even noticed the textures in my gallery. That's kind of annoying. I wouldn't really mind if there was one "Spacedraw textures" folder to collect them all.

No, it does't download anything; the textures are bundled with the app and copied to the /spacedraw/textures folder of the device's SD-card (or internal storage) when the app is started the first time

I'm starting to get the idea of the zones along the bottom for navigation, but I think it needs to be more obvious where they are. Perhaps faint lines surrounding them like in this example. Perhaps a text title for each zone too:

I think it will be difficult for people to get used to this since we're so used to using pinch to zoom for almost every app.

Edit: And now I realize the top is divided as well so another vertical line should be added up there.

Your website still doesn't work. It's just a blank white page with some symbools: 

Edit: It works in Chrome and IE, but not Firefox.

The site should work in Firefox now also; if not, set the encoding to UTF-8 or empty the browser-cache
