Problem: UI interactions don't feel natural Sometimes I try to open the lock screen with a quick flick a few times but it doesn't open until I do a longer flick. Or the page doesn't scroll any faster if I try to flick faster. It feels like the device doesn't respond properly to my actions. This is because the gestures require your finger to travel a certain distance on the touch screen but do not respond to how fast you do it. It makes the UI feel weird and uncanny.
Solution: Kinetic gestures For making the UI interactions feel more responsive and natural, the OS should also track the acceleration of your finger gestures. So a fast flick wouldn't have to be as long as a slow one and a fast flick when scrolling a list would accelerate it and scroll faster than a slower one. Just like I can accelerate objects with my fingers in the real world, so should the Sailfish OS UI. It is very basic functionality and it enhances the user experience by making the UI act like objects in the real world.

For making the UI interactions feel more responsive and natural, the OS should also track the acceleration momentum of your finger gestures. So a fast flick wouldn't have to be as long as a slow one and a fast flick when scrolling a list would accelerate the list and scroll faster than a slower one.
