I don’t hate it.

It’s better than I thought.

    I think it’s an improvement overall, but there are places where background tinting on the glass and blurring should be stronger in order to improve contrast/readability. I still want pre-iOS 7 design back, though. Miss that aesthetic.

    Same here. Just upgraded and despite disliking the initial reveal this is pretty good. Feels playful and just a little less corporate.

    On iOS I do like that toolbars get out of your way a bit more.

    What’s funny is Google has the same idea with material design, but they just stuck big annoying floating buttons on top of the content. It wasn’t a bad idea, the execution was poor.

    Editing that idea back and doing regular buttons and transforming the toolbars on iOS is an improvement.

    Readability is better than I anticipated, except the clock and battery indicators need more definition.

    I’m not a fan of this on my Mac though. I’ve found a ton of bugs there, it’s inconsistent, performance bugs and freezes, and the toolbar settings result in breaking behaviour per app.
