The swipe from the left to go back a step motion that is now engrained into our very DNA isn't anywhere to be found. It's also still a little jarring – as with other Google apps – that none of the iOS 7 gesture controls are carried into the app. We've been waiting what seems like forever for this app, so full integration with the latest iOS software isn't too much to ask for, is it? Searching for music and seeing the iOS 6 keyboard brings about a sigh. The only real gripe – especially for an app launching in November – is that there isn't a single trace of iOS 7. But it isn't the only Google app that could be said of. I actually think it performs slightly better than the Android version. The sliding motion of the menu coming out from the side, the player view minimising, general scrolling up-and-down and side-to-side is all without flaw. It's basically a carbon copy of Google's own Android app, and it's so incredibly silky smooth to navigate around. The white cards on light gray background is clean and crisp with the Google Play Music signature orange highlights adding just the right splash of color. It's attractive to look at, and very distinctively Google. If you're a user of any of Google's other iOS applications then you'll feel immediately at home with this.
