First of all, Blixx is a soundboard developed in Unity3D, i was looking to port it to XF and take advantage of the memory management of using a ListView / GridView, but found out that Xamarin.Forms did not have GridView. but a GridLayout, which was not directly bindable and did not have this automated memory management. that said, CollectionView is the solution i was waiting for:

What went well?
As expected, i was able to arrange the Buttons on a Vertical Grid (Something that was not possible on ListView AFAIK).
What didn't go well?
I Ran into 2 Dificulties, one of them was not related to the CollectionView Itself:
CollectionView does not have an implementation or something similar to Spacing, so, in order to separate one button from the other i had to add a Frame. (So i ended with a Frame into another Frame because my Buttons have a background Frame already).
(not actually related to CollectionView) I did not find a way to remove the TitleView from the new AppShell.
How is the performance?
How is the performance using CollectionView compared to when using the ListView?
In my case it's not comparable, because my base app is not in Xamarin.Forms.
Missing or Desired Things:
Anything?
SPACING!
Vertical Cell Spacing, Horizontal Cell Spacing
