(the back button shouldn’t say Back but should be labeled with what you want to go back to)
I find it an extremely condescending way to treat your users. I am smarter than that.

However, the beauty is simply restored using fresh metaphor polish which Apple is no doubt currently crafting.

In regards to UI interaction, if there’s one iOS designer ahead of Apple it has to be Loren Brichter. He has the genius and skill to leapfrog Apple (using their own guidelines) by producing the subtle, intuitive interactions they didn’t have time or the vision to do so.

I won’t dignify the inclusion to the Clear App – it’s not for me.

Another example of an App that does it’s own layout is Cloud Commander, which lets you drag and drop files between local and cloud drives

With Ive now in charge the hope (and likelihood) is that he will assemble a design team and come at it from a totally new approach that will break new ground.

Then more recently stumbled on this article :http://blog.maxrudberg.com/post/38958984259/if-you-see-a-ui-walkthrough-they-blew-it
The best point here is that an app such as Clear that needs to present a ‘walk-through’ of its non standard interface is a failure.
