Clear has probably been my steadiest and longest-used app I can remember. It was so smooth, intuitive and clean. It had no fuss and was exactly what you look for in an app like this.
With the 2.0 version not much is left of that. It feels way too playful, looks amateurish and cheap, it’s suddenly filled with all this gamification, rewards and in-app purchases for themes. Even the main pinching gesture has been changed and feels completely off.
Classic example of ‘If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it’.
