Someone suggested I post this here…
Why not have your Daily Reward as a pop-up when you login for the first time each day?
I like this idea, daily rewards are buried far under a lot of things. This is way more convenient.

I think the reason they want it the way it is is because that’s the only reason to ever go to the home screen and see the ads. Without it, the home screen would be literally useless. But +1 to less useless clicks!
