Don't get me wrong, I love a custom UI in an iPhone app when it's done right. See: TweetBot. Gorgeous, 100% custom UI, and they preserved button sizes, labels, behavior, etc that the user is used to in an iPhone app.
I agree - this (to me) is indicative of the difference between an application that intends to be useful to me vs. one that is useful to the provider.
One falls into the woodwork, presenting a painfully standardized and predictable interface, enabling me to do things instead of "using an app". The other calls attention to its existence, and challenges me to "explore" instead of "use"
If you're evaluating it against a full blown bug/requirements tracking system like JIRA, Fogbugz or similar it is fairly lacking.
If you want a dead simple, integrated, free (with your github subscription) bug tracking system that lets you close issues via git commit messages it is just what is called for.
