iOS7 design is weak, with reason. This page is just quoting tweets, but there many in-depth criticism on the many obvious flaws everywhere on the blogosphere. From the objective to the subjective: - Complete redesign makes it too different from iOS 6 and OS X, throws away all learnability - Icons have no consistency whatsoever - Toolbar icons are so abstract as to be useless - Legibility suffers from Helvetica Light on bright white, everywhere - Got rid of affordances, you don't know what is a button anymore (same mistake as WP and some Google apps) - Control panel is a mess - Color palette is poor and tacky. You have a true to life display to work with, but limit yourself to primary and secondary, over-saturated hues... just stupid To be fair, usability increased in many places as in multi-tasking and better use of gesture, although that's hardly innovation - they are just copying tried and true interactions from software both on iOS platform (e.g. Gmail for iOS, Mailbox) and others (webOS, Android). Overall the UI looks like designed by someone who designs print media and has no clue what they are doing.
