Looks pretty neat, and maybe a simple utility app that looks neat is just the way to go on the App Store.

One thing that caught my eye though was: why are the launch images not filled with the numbers? On a similar note, though--I don't have an idea how to solve that while still using lauch images--the launch image is white, changing themes, killing the app and restarting it hence results in a visible flickr.

That said, I did sometimes have trouble hitting the keys, due to the inactive space in between.

Thanks for your feedback angerman.

I purposely made the launch image like the way it is. As per Apple Human Interface Guidelines it is better to use a launch image that makes the user feel that the app is loading. That way they wont click on the launch image until it loads and shows the number. But, i can understand your point. When you use a different theme then it may not look right. Don't know if there is a way to use different launch image based on some value.

Using at least some spacing between the keys is necessary otherwise it's easy to hit another key by mistake. Also, i think, it's right think to do design-wise as it gives a decent look to the interface.

Hope i made the right choice.
