What Hacker News says?
Maybe they don't do full-on refreshes a la iOS 7, but perhaps they tweak little animation physics here and there. I'm thinking of this article's critiques of Cupertino widgets feeling a bit off: https://harveynick.com/2018/05/21/an-ios-developers-opinions...

HN discussionIt’s not so much the widgets as it is the actual look and feel. Neither scrolling nor text rendering is quite right. I wrote a post to that effect here: https://harveynick.com/2018/05/21/an-ios-developers-opinions...

HN discussionJust read your blog post about it. [1] I find it amazing that it was a "20% time" project and your first iOS app. It's one of my favorite apps. Well designed and fast. Thumbs up. [1] http://harveynick.com/blog/2013/08/10/so-i-made-an-iphone-ap...
