I wanted to get people's thoughts on this because in my mind, the design changes wouldn't actually provide any improved functionality or ease of use. Instead, many of them would hide features one level deeper, requiring more taps to get to them (a "hamburger" menu as found in apps like Google Drive that displays options on the side of the screen in a pullout tray). Others would be merely cosmetic, and would look nicer, but would consume a lot of my time for little gain. If there are UI changes that would be extremely beneficial, I'd definitely like to hear people's thoughts. I know material design calls for bold colors, and I certainly could make the app more colorful, but I'm thinking that may actually be a bad thing in dark venues where glare off the screen is not desired.
I should mention that these kinds of changes are separate from the redesign I'm working on for annotations. There are plenty of areas in the app to improve workflow, either with or without embracing the material design.
Thanks,

I think the current interface is very functional and looks fine - I personally wouldn't bother spending the time to redesign it.
