Thank you flat design proponents. You've succeeded in killing creativity and differentiation.
- cicloid 13y agoWait for the next wave of design... I'll come back...
- AtTheLast 13y agoIf the whole flat design pendulum could swing back a little that would be great. I don't see why everyone is going so crazy over it.
- kennywinker 13y agoAre you basing that on the screenshots? It's a pretty impressively dynamic interface. My first impression is that they did some awesome stuff with UIKitDynamics, and none of it seems egregious.
- armandososa 13y agoYep. I won't install it because I think it's kind of a dick move to use one of their key slots. But they used to have a pretty unique aesthetic that was distinguishable at first glance. Now the first glance is all bland.
- kennywinker 13y agoI agree, there is a trend in iOS 7 for visual "blandness". I'm not upset about it, but I do see it happening. It's not a dick move to pay them their asking price, and use a token.
- chmars 13y agoIt feels slow with all the shaking etc. And easy list access is gone, you have to use the menu to access lists …
- natesm 13y agoAs a flat design proponent (I suppose[1]), there's no reason all apps without textures need to look the same (see [1]). [1] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/svpply/id516820047?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/svpply/id516820047?mt=8 See also: Layervault, Artsy, Letterpress.
- kingnight 13y agoIt's not the 'flat design' that is killing creativity and differentiation. It's the fact that so many of the apps-going-flat-ios7 are deciding to go with the color palette of white background + bright blue text/icons — it's surprising as the iOS 7 HIG does not require that color scheme. There is great opportunity to take this aesthetic in a different direction and it's surprising to see this not go there. This is the same look as Mail + Safari.
