I disagree. I actually have less of a problem with the 99 cent gutenberg book guys (at least they're paying the royalties). I don't have a problem with TripLog/1040 the application as much as I do with the developer who felt the need to ignore advice and mockups from other developers/designers instead of having an actual discussion that doesn't reek of his "I have $x years of experience: I'm right" attitude. And well, if you read the reviews and ignore the ones talking about how it's a shitty UI and the developer is charging too much, people who seem to be actual customers have a thing or two to say about the UI and how they'd like some changes. The dev at least attempted to make some changes (like that cyan eyesore of a background color). For that maybe he redeemed himself a bit. I have been in a position like his before and had a design of mine crucified. I didn't go all "screw you you're wrong" at the people who told me so. I tried to approach it without being offended too much that they were ripping apart my work, and I asked about what kind of changes I should make. And I made some of them, and it came out better in the end. Lastly, I might note that one of Apple's criteria for getting accepted to the App Store was HIG compliance. This guy was far from it and still is. I guess they're just ignoring that right now.
