"A single font is used throughout the app"
not sure how useful this ⤴ advice is—for example, an app could use different fonts from the 'San Francisco' typeface - http://codemotionapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/San-Fra... - for a consistent design with no real detriment to 'UX'

“title="Link opens in a new window"”
