Xamarin.Forms goodlooking UI Samples

No matter what you try to achieve the good looks (for example using AppCompat on Android), people are more concerned about the functionality and user experience. If your app has good graphics and very cozy looks but its performance sucks because of the heavy controls or memory leaks or any other reasons, users are going to uninstall the app in minutes.

Okey finally, 8 out of 10 users are happy with the standard UI interface in most of the apps (this applies mainly to iOS users) and they are not very big fan of super cool UI interface (games are exception to this where people love to see cool graphics plus performance and Unity is the way you want to go not Xamarin for sure).
