    I was asked to design this app for Unlike and Nokia at the beginning of the year, and now it's finally avaliable on the marketplace! Please let me know what you think!

    Like the ‘unlike’ Windows Phone app a lot, Sam. Was using it while travelling to New York, Paris and London recently.

    Just one thing I never got: Why is the unlike label always covering and never fully revealing the city name?

    @Martin Jordan I'm glad you liked it!

    Basically my thinking (went through a lot of revisions for this) was that if it just sat there, while panning the panorama the unlike logo would go off-screen and then back around. This'd cause jarring effect when it came back (as it doesn't connect to the opposite side, it would just look unfinished).

    Also by keeping the unlike logo static, it creates a recognisable brand by keeping the logo visible at all times. Additionally, it makes the app stand out a little in the marketplace (not many have fixed headers). Finally, it's also a little bit of a design flourish... like a clothing tag, just hanging from the side of the screen.

    Might not make much sense but that was my reasoning!
