Pop up bottom and top menu is obstructing and distracting

The new layout is a nice change, but one step backward is the top/bottom nav menu behavior in the app. In the old one had to tap and toggle, now it pops up on its own as one swipes around the page. This is annoying and obstructs the top/bottom copy. I imagine the programmers thought they were saving a tap or two, but now its a permanent distraction. People dont typically toggle views that often, or leap around among the pages. Some might, most dont.
