I agree with the criticism of the scrolling odometer widget; that part sounds like it would be better handled with the keyboard.
I'm willing to cut them a little slack on the "lack of user testing" angle; it's not like there are many App Store enabled iPhones available for real-world usability testing. That will limit a potential test pool to people the developer knows well... because I doubt he'd be comfortable handing his iPhone to someone less than a trusted friend to provide feedback.

The target audience here are repeat users, after all, so learnability is probably a lower priority than raw performance for a regular user. That means that the devs themselves could have tested, and I sincerely doubt that they would find the scrolling odometer faster OR more accurate than keyboard entry.
