Ugh! Looks Awful.
I have completely stopped updating a lot of apps because of this new design model that seems to have no grasp of style,ipad capacity or bandwith usage.

The old design looked awful. This is a step in the right direction!

Knock it off

If redesigns don't make things work better, stop redesigning crap. This simply forces users to learn a new interface. Knock it off!
