when there are too many items and we are at the bottom, we have to scroll up many times then we could use the pulley menu. why not design a top bar for them ,like warehouse ,which makes using pulley menu much easier .

I just thought of a shortcut to access the pulley menu from anywhere in a list, without a sticky header: quickly swipe up and down twice (keeping your finger on the screen, and only moving it 1-2cm) to open the pulley menu. It doesn't seem too hard to use, doesn't require more than one finger, and I don't think many people will quickly swipe up and down twice in regular usage so it wouldn't interfere with that.
It could also be shorter by getting rid of the first swipe up, but it seems less easy to me to swipe down first.

I would guess the Gallery App is effectively a placeholder, at least as far as features and UX are concerned. Seems like a first pass. It's so incredibly basic, and AFAIK hasn't been touched since pre-release. UI as you point out is poor, folders are completely missing and zoom is barely a zoom at all (even though apparently changing 2 lines of code gives proper zoom). Navigating back to the camera app after viewing a photo is also terribly handled, and often it fails to recognise the necessary swipe.
Re: Store .... I assume that will receive a major overhaul when paid app support is implemented, and hopefully the almost blanket ban on anything interesting is lifted. In April, Jolla said in a dev e-mail that paid app support is "planned for H2" (July to December).
