Android Wasted Screen Space

[mikea144 36]

On the Android main screen the number of notes that can be listed is smaller than it could be because there's so much wasted space.  On my Pixel 3 even if I turn off all view options (tags, text, images, note size) I nevertheless see only 6 notes listed.  This is not enough: I often need to scroll some to find what I want and so I'd like to see as many notes listed as possible.  The sad thing is that there are 2 empty lines for every entry, so 6 x 2 = 12 empty lines on the screen, which if removed would allow maybe 2 or 3 more notes to be listed.  Why do we need 2 blank lines in the middle of every note entry?  Particularly on a small screen device this seems like a terrible visual design choice which is completely unnecessary.
