Ive used this app since day 1 and its the best of its type. So far the author has resisted adding stupid extra features that people ask for, or putting advertisements in to cash in on their sucess like others have done.
Recently it was significantly updated, and while nothing has been irretrievably destroyed, none of the "improvements" really add much. Extra "skins" have been provided but they are all simple drawings and almost identical to each other. None of them are a patch on the original skin which is thankfully still available.
While it would be nice to have a dial thats a bit cleaner than the original, without the photo-realism it just doesnt work. For me the only reason to buy the app is nostalgia, so making it look and work just like the old phones did is way more important than adding features.
The only thing thats (sadly) been completely ruined with this update is the icon. I had to move the app to the very last page on my iPhone because its just so ugly I cant stand to look at it.
Keep up the good work, but please bring back the original icon!
