After downloading and playing around with Apple’s new iPhoto for iOS, I felt like I was teleported back to 1998. Touching and gesturing in different ways would make seemingly random things happen. I regularly unintentionally activated features, changed views, opened or closed pictures, and got iPhoto into states I wasn’t sure how to get out of again.

Leo Wehmeier Guter Breakdown über iPhoto for iOS. Ich finds awesome, seine Kritik ist aber an jeder Stelle absolut angebracht und gerechtfertigt. Auf dem iPad wird's absolut genial, nehme ich an.
Back in 1998, websites would often force visitors to aimlessly move their mouse around, trying to reveal hidden icons or pieces of text that would explain where to click. Frustrated with these hidden, obscure navigation elements, web designer Vincent Flanders coined the term «Mystery Meat Navigation».1 After downloading and playing around with Apple’s new iPhoto for iOS, I felt like I was teleported back to 1998.

tralafiti Lukas Mathis über die Probleme immer komplexer werdender iOS-Apps
Marcel Wichmann Lukas Mathis on iPhoto for iOS. tl;dr: It sucks.
Johannes Loepelmann Better tl;dr: It has flaws but we need experimentation and interation.
"This stuff is hard. iPhoto has many flaws, but I’m pretty sure the same could be said of the Xerox Alto’s UI. We’re new at this, but as we get better at designing for touch user interfaces, and as a common language starts to be established, designing touchscreen versions of complex applications like iPhoto will get much easier."
Marcel Wichmann Yep, that is Apple's style. Let's release something shitty, the main thing is to learn anything in the process, by any chance it will get better sometimes.
