I doubt this is a bug. Clearly you are an epic monster of the arena!
As for the UI, I like the look on android and most things are working ok. I would prefer not to have so many things popping up when I'm in a run though. New friend requests are fine, since I often make new friends on runs, but I don't need to be reminded at regular intervals that I have friend requests from town to manage at. (idk if this is a UI issue or not)
