Could it be a function of 'comfort in familiarity' in what's otherwise a jarringly personal app?

- WiseWeasel 15y agoTo me, it just looks weird, with interface elements such as buttons and text fields sculpted in leather. I cannot see how it would make me feel familiarity.
- chrisdroukas 15y agoMaybe comfort is a better word for it. It would be interesting to see an A/B test of the leather UI and a standard iOS UI — something that looks exactly like Google Maps with Latitude on top of it, for instance. I'd be willing to bet that the leather UI is better received by users. The app is divulging a core aspect of privacy but it certainly manages to look friendly doing it.
