I think both have merit, but like design, its beauty comes from the designers perception of that design. There is no such thing as perfect, just personal taste and interpretation. The natural ball sybolizes that better than a perfectly round one. Beautiful BTW
The final app icons for iOS and Mac. We’re getting much closer to release. Thanks for all the feedback on the previous icon.
The app has been making my life easier for months. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.
Edit: These didn't end up being the final icons. A few more tweaks were made to both before release: Lighter shading on the iOS icon. Darker S on the Mac icon to match the iOS icon.
@Pietro Desiato: I agree. I did use a 3D app to get the angle, segments and cap right though. Should be pretty close to what it'd look like (a little bit of creative license taken for the ball shape).

I did this a long time ago for practice and didn't think of adding the crease marks to make the ball look used, nice job on that :)

Might depend on the context, but I dig the imperfect shape. Gives it some personality.

Thanks all. Natural/wobbly/imperfect wins. I'm tweaking it a little to be slightly more round, but it'll be very close to this version.
Great to get so much feedback on this icon. Thanks all!

Marc, I feel that the label shouldn't be perfectly circular but a bit distorted because of the perspective. Don't you think?
