Can't be that confusing if you can still figure it out on your own. Dwarf fortress, now that shit is confusing.
Finally a post that doesn't just say "iOS7 BAD". Pretty well motivated, and I can agree with it in part. The inconsistencies it shows with the red button are confusing indeed (I just tried it on my iPad, the button in the stopwatch will change state when you begin touching, the one in the timer changes state when you lift your button, which is confusing because it doesn't work as expected). The one thing I don't agre…
The + sign and nav buttons are "tinted" as red, as are the rest of the app's functions. When overlay UI appears, such color tints become grey. That's consistent throughout Apple's apps -- every app has a colour to tint with. The green circles shown are the inconsistent buttons. They're trying to do too much, both compensating for the choice of red and encouraging you to click them. Their thick circle borders are redu…
As I read that one of those in-viewport, youtube-a-like progress bars was repeatedly shooting across the top of the screen.
Red (in those two cases) means stop, so the button turns red. Stopping a stopwatch is an expected action to perform, so the button remains white (to be consistent with start). Stopping a timer is an unexpected action—you are cancelling the timer. To denote this, they use dark grey.
Usability? There are loads of examples of usability not being as much of a problem as many make it out to be. You can start with Windows as an example of something that billions of people use without problems while usability experts blog about how horrible it is --yet five year olds in schools all over the world seem to not have any issues. Another one is computer games. No two games seem to have the same interface (save such things as basic navigation commands) yet people adapt and become very adept at operating them. I always take usability reports with a grain of salt. Some are legitimate and honest, most are less than that.
Everything is confusing if you pretend to be an idiot.
I think iOS 7 is Apple's Vista :-(
Except instead of functionality gaffes, it's the UI changes that no one really wants.
