iOS & Android App Design
I'm an app developer looking to supplement my meager income. I've been making apps since day one of the App Store and have always focused on the front-end design.
People gravitate towards icons and screenshots; why not have the best ones in the store?
Design doesn't stop at the visuals, though. I work with you to make a sensible hierarchy and layout, keeping your users happy and recommending you. I know backend code, so everything I design is possible.
Email me a link to your app; I'd happily give you some thoughts.

Mobile App Designer & Consultant
I'm a mobile app UX designer and consultant available for all platforms: iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android, & Windows Phone. If you want to start (or re-finish) an app, give me a call first.
I know the design guidelines just as well as the code underneath. Everything I create comes from someone who's gotten his hands dirty with development on multiple occasions.

Your screenshots don't have to be literal screenshots. At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything special about your app. Its main feature is un-advertised!
I would suggest some sort of transitional photo. Show the sloppy drawing fading into the crisp flowchart. Maybe a little text on the image. "Draw flow charts in seconds!".

I haven't tried it, but you should be able to set the cornerRadius of the layer (a CALayer) of the main window. That would apply it to all subviews.

Sounds almost exactly me. I leave important emails in my inbox that I'm working with (and one or two from my parents). I have a max of about 10 at any time. Zero unread.
I would love to see these states represented:
- Unseen (sent but I haven't opened my inbox or cleared the notification)
- Unread (seen but not opened)
- Read
- Read & replied
Then I can delete and archive when I want.
Re:Apple's iOS is "deceptively fast"

The poster is right, iOS takes a screenshot and uses it when switching to your app. The default.png is used only when you first open the app (ie, it was closed).
What happens when you switch orientations? The screenshot/app will show as rotated and rotate to whatever angle the device is currently at.

It looks like they're still keeping the subtleties of each OS (eg the ICS action bar), just adding they're own styling, icons, branding, and flow on top.
Looks a lot better than apps that just port iOS apps to Android pixel-for-pixel.

I don't think I've ever started a project that I knew how to do backward and front. Every thing I know about iOS programming comes from "oh crap, a client wants this, how do I do it?". Although, it makes every past project look worse and worse every time I start a new one.
Google it 'til you make it.

Disagree. Some good libraries are C++, so linking to them requires you to use Obj-C++ (at very least, changing the name to *.mm).

To make it easier, and what I did, is to cut out all liquid sugars. No soda, fruit juice, energy drinks, or anything sweeter than water. Took me a few weeks to lose 30 pounds when I drank nothing but water.

I'm actually a little busy right now, but I just started doing this full-time, so I'd like to get my name out there.
I'm an iOS dev looking to transition to UI design. Check out my portfolio/blog: http://www.stuartjmoore.com and on Forrst: http://forrst.com/people/stuartjmoore/posts
I'm in DC, and mostly work for people in CA, so I'm quite used to remote work.

I'm not an Android dev (yet), but does it matter much outside of the UI? Honeycomb isn't open source, so 2.* is all they can use without talking to Google.
Seeing as how Ice Cream Sandwich is meant to better unify the APIs, I don't mind if they skip Honeycomb as long as they do get on track eventually.

I'm guessing the screen resulation will stay the same, just put on a larger screen.
But, this creates a smaller DPI and kind of ruins the retina display.
