The most significant update here would be to stick the navigation on the bottom on mobile, because we use our thumbs to tap and it's hard to reach the top of the screen.

I agree on this, even though the examples you posted above are of native apps and ours is a website.. 😃

There's no such things as native apps or websites for our thumbs, I should have posted black screen instead

I don’t think the nav bar should be always visible at the bottom of the screen. Those buttons will not be frequently used–maybe once or twice each session. Making them always visible seems to give them too much prominence.

we can always have a copy of the navbar at the bottom of the page.. then its upto the user to either scroll up or down to a navbar, whichever is nearer..
