> - The UI to look as good or better than the UI on Mac OS X. I'm not willing to compromise on looks. Just remember that the UI kit is only part of having a good UI. Apple's historical success with good UI is based on their long standing guidelines for designing good UIs. I doubt I need to tell you this (although Google seems to recently have forgotten it), you app needs to use the patterns of the platform it is on. Users respond well when the app looks like it is "native" and not a port.

The pattern commonality is no longer with other apps on the OS you are currently on, but with other Google property.

  The current YouTube app for Android still uses the iOS share icon rather than the Android one.
