Maybe it's just me but a lot of these apps look really shoddy and half assed. I can't believe these are real apps that people expect customers to pay for.



Well, it's flat design. While with the pre-7 design you could have substance - really polished apps that shine by using textures, lighting, shadows, etc. with flat you only really have colored rectangles to show.

And as you can't make more appealing colored rectangles than your competition everything starts to look the same.


that's one of the problems of flat design ,it's so flat and dull it's hard to remember anything about it. Which app shown here feels like it has an identity? none.
