I think the purpose of the button is not clear. A plus to me means adding something. If it's meant to mean "more content", which this looks like, I think you should go with the "…".
This also shares the problem that Path has with their fly out menu, it's not super obvious what the icons are and it might be hard for a novice user to understand them.
That said, props for trying to innovate further around the standard iOS UI elements. 👍
what make's path's solution so wonderful is it's minimalism. They have removed all bottom chrome in exchange for a two step process. This has both chrome (a lot of it) and a two step process. I'd keep playing around with it. Love the icons, though! And the attention to visual detail.
Agree with some of the others. I love this, but I think the icons can be refined. Some are simple, but others are too detailed. I'd go with less is more. Love the shadows and blue hues.
Nice work. One comment on the icons - they are very difficult to quickly read, especially the ones on the left and right. Need more contrast and maybe a new icon.

Had to do a remake of Vimeo's current iPhone app. This is much like Path, press the + and extra a menu options pops up.
What do you guys think?

Seems like it could be a pain to tap those 4 different icons. I believe Apple recommends their minimum hit area to be 40px. How big are these?

@Dennis Flinsenberg The icons are about 20-23px, and in retina they would be 40-46px. The tapping area is height: 34px & width: 60px in non-retina.

yeh, apple recommend 40pm (not retina) to be the button size. they use 44px as there standard on there iOS designs.

Well, instead of two rows, you could move the buttons in one row and problem solved. A bit too much shadow/inset for my taste

I really like this one Victor, but in my opinion the dark blue icons could get a little bit more darker and the newspaper could get less details.
Good job :)

I think the camera for the right tab bar button in the nav bar is too detailed, not simple enough.

You know, I think everyone's being very very nitpicky here. It looks awesome, but I would tone down the divider between the 4 icons.

Nice, but I would not be "afraid" of the dividers, I would keep those all the way.
