Apple has stagnated on pushing their UX design, so more and more developers and designers are breaking free from the boilerplate objects and creating their own, unconstrained interfaces that evolve beyond the patterns Apple established.
Except in this case there is no evolution just different looks. And imho a lot of wasted effort with dubious results.
If you want a good example of customization done well take a look at Tweetbot (or other apps by Tapbot).
This app? Meh.
