iPhoto for iOS ⇥

The much-anticipated completion of the iLife suite for iOS. As I said, this is a completely re-thought application, not just a port of the Mac version.

The early reviews have been divisive. Oliver Charavel likes Journals:

Journals is Gallery done better. I really hoped Apple would replace it, and they’ve done a stellar job!

Neven Mrgan dislikes it:

It’s too early for an opinion, but I’m not going to let that stop me: iPhoto for iOS is really bad. Can’t see myself ever using it.

When asked why, he replied:

Incredibly confusing, plain ugly in places. Really overdesigned and over engineered.

John Gruber is a fan:

The tools are useful and innovative, the use of touch is both natural and fun, and it’s chock full of nice little touches, like being able to choose which side of the display you want the thumbnails on.
