Joel, great post
I think we are all a little afraid of saying "it's finished" because we have no comeback when someone says "it sucks". I guess its that fear of rejection, whereas if we say its unfinished we can always claim the "yup we know, and the next release will be better".
Surely this is why the fad of slapping a Beta sign all over the products started, just to let people know that "it has some bugs an we know about them" What we really wanted to say was "It has some bugs, which we have no clue about, and we want you to help us discover them" :-)
As for the blogs, I agree, way too many , and any review is a good review.

Hey great to hear MVP works I was beginning to doubt the model :-)
Great post, must agree, but generalizations are prevalent in every part of society its how we humans process and categorise. The wise man however has more granular filters....
Ozzie, we made the change to the appstore screen shot (well the first one), to highlight what is user content and what is not, will work on the text and screenshot order next. tks again for feedback.
Ozzie, tks for that, I like the Place: notion it makes sense, am thinking the order of the screenshots needs to be altered also, tks again, will take on board for next update. If you have anything else there is a feedback button in the app itself (if you wish to try it) and you can add up/down vote ideas there also.....should hv seen the first version :-)
blame the techie for playing when he should not, fixed :-)
Interesting, not sure how this fits in with post prior to yours about lacking focus, i.e Is it clear what each element does or not (perhaps two diff viewpoints).
Trying to define nicer...tom tks for feedback
Awesome, tks for feedback, please do try the app, for a better feel. Its amazing what you don't see when you are building the app...tks again
tks, all of it, or just some screens

HiWe are currently looking to source some feedback on the UI for our shiny new (free) iphone app, Addpiks, and a friend, Swombat, said HN is the place to ask. So here we are...Would really appreciate any inputs on the UI whether its just from the screenshots athttp://itunes.apple.com/us/app/addpiks/id407488046?mt=8or even better from an actual app itself (iphone only currently, sorry android...
Great post, worst thing about networking is learning howto approach first. I read somewhere best way to train is to talk to people in a lift. If it all goes pear-shaped at least you have have a few seconds
