Well, icons are not intuitive anyway, so it probably doesn't make difference :)
it also shows that an icon has to be iconic to work. play, fast forward and rewind, the camera and the calculator, i knew. airplane mode, wifi and bluetooth, i knew but could easily imagine people confused by. the crescent moon, the lock with the arrow around it, the flashlight and the dial i honestly didn't know, and would've had to tap them to try to figure out what they did.you can't just make any picture iconic, it's not something an app can force.
Maybe I'm just a weirdo but those icons seem perfectly intuitive to me.
that is unfortunate. icons having a variety of silhouettes makes it easier to identify them and gives things a little personality.
A good picture, unfortunately most modern apps are full of meaningless icons.
finally! Those icons are indistinct and basically meaningless.
weird design with icons instead of text which is a turnoff for me.
I don't like it. The icons are way to abstract compared to the old ones.
I can never tell which icon is which.
I like how they just use random icons for each app on the page
