I am mixed, it depends on what I am trying to do and also if I paid anything for an app.
"Free" apps in the west are just a marketing case-study and trying to funnel me into as many additional purchases as it possibly can. Chinese is maybe an overwhemling amount of information, but often at least more relevant. It also tends to make a lot more sense for somebody who is engaging with mobile devices primarily, rather than as an extension of a home ecosystem (which the video does touch on a bit).
It also makes perfect sense to have a "one size fits all" app approach in an environment that doesn't need to parcel your attention out over a bunch of different companies.
"Premium" apps that I already bought into, I admit I often prefer the minimalistic style of design more. That could also just be me, I prefer that in the way I decorate and organise most things I do, digitally and in real life.
