Here’s my pick of the best iPhone app icons […]
Notice a trend? Almost all of these icons say “no thanks” to iPhone’s default gloss effect […] Of Apple’s 20 iPhone apps, 7 don’t use the effect, and 2 fudge it a bit (YouTube and Clock, which apply this only to some layers in the image).
Great point by Mr. Mrgan about the lack of gloss for iPhone apps. These are some nice looking apps, and I can testify to Pennies as being a very well designed app. However, it seems to be lacking in comparison to something like Ledger, which allows you a few methods to export your data. For example: I updated my Pennies.app through iTunes and I lost all data of my transactions!
Also, I have not tried Crosswords, but I am very happy with the $5.99 I spent on 2 Across. It is a well designed app for playing crosswords after downloading them for free. Try out the 2 Across Lite Edition for free to see if you agree.
Head over to Mrgan’s post to see all the icons he details.
