When multiple pixel addicts tip you off about a single app, you know it’s something out of this world. Airbnb may not be the kind of functionality you ordered, but indulging in its pixels is certainly not a sin, especially since it’s free.
The app starts with vibrant photos of random bnb offerings falling on your screen. Airbnb flashes on screen, and so the journey begins. They’ve modified the tab bar, giving it just the right amount of texture to take it from “different for the sake of it” to “oh my god this is awesome”. They’ve modified pretty much everything, yet kept it all the same. You’re practically looking at an iPhone app, but it’s like Snow Leopard where standard iOS controls are brushed metal in Tiger.
It’s free, fully featured, and it makes you wish you were looking for a bnb guest house.
Thanks to Chaitanya Adgaonkar and Patrick Patience for showing us the light.
