Clean, minimal design that looks good

This looks great. I love the flat design of the site. And I love the UI design. It looks very clean and minimal to me.
alexgaribay on HNThis is much nicer than bootstrap.

Fills a need for cheap design templates
From 2 comments
"No design skills required!" is not something you should read when making design decisions for your app. Period. So what's your alternative? Either investing a load of time in…

Objections
Templates will make many apps look identical
From 2 comments

"No design skills required!" is not something you should read when making design decisions for your app. Period.

Missing folders and font licensing problems
From 2 comments
Looks awesome! Just bought the Full UI + xCode and started to play with it. It seems to be missing a "Sharing" folder in "xCode Project/"
tehwebguy on HNBuyer beware. I bought the PSD and the font is Gotham Bold. Gotham isn't on iOS and doesn't have an interactive/UI licence so it's not even an option to buy it. The developer's…

PNG exports and Slicy-compatible layers
From 2 comments
Love the look of the site. A few remarks/questions: * Is there a possibility to get PNGs in addition to PSDs? * It's Xcode, not xCode. * What exactly is in the Xcode project…
epaga on HNI don't know the answer to number 1, since I haven't purchased, but expecting that everything is properly layered and labeled, Slicy [0] would be a good thing to have around. It…

Questions
Is a tab bar included and which icons are available
From 1 comment

Twitter Bootstrap
From 2 comments
Kind of like Twitter Bootstrap but you have to pay for it.
marknutter on HNUntil more than one person uses this template, and you have many apps that look identical. Which, as Bootstrap proves on a daily basis, is a non-problem for the majority of the…
