I'm a big fan of the Lab changes that were put in recently, having more slots especially is exciting. My only complaint is that having 8 slots in the Lab with the current layout adds a lot of scrolling to get to the refresh button, located underneath the Lab slots on mobile.
For me, it takes about 4 standard scrolling finger motions to get to the refresh button. Obviously, this is not a terrible issue, 4 motions is not that hard. But I think it could be improved.
I have a few potential suggestions for changes that could help.

- Add another Refresh button at the top of the page, only on mobile. Pro: No swiping motions needed to refresh. Con: Having 2 buttons that do the same thing and something that appears only on mobile might be bad UI standards.
- Decrease the size of the boxes so that two can appear on the same line on mobile. Pro: Less scrolling needed, more eggs visible at once. Con: May be too cramped, especially for smaller phones.
- Add a compact mode for the Lab, which would hide the text and potentially make the boxes smaller. Pro: Less scrolling, and doesn't require a significant UI change. Con: Hides the text, though to be honest I don't think the text has any use unless you haven't discovered the egg yet. This mode could potentially only hide the descriptions of eggs you've already discovered
