Please allow us to hide the menu bar!!

I love this app and the one and only thing bothering me is the bottom menu bar - it’s not aligned with anything else meaning it is so distracting visually and aesthetically, and it adds no value while we’re interacting with the app in the most common way (eyeballing the list of events). It would make such a big difference in usability and aesthetics to have a clean interface without this distraction. PLEASE let us brush it off into a small arrow resting on the side or small circle with a plus sign to expand it, etc. Thank you for a beautiful free app!
