My experience with the iPhone app has been pretty bad. Functionally it's passable, but from a design/presentation/aesthetic perspective it's just plain bad.
The hamburger-button menu which slides in from the left overlaps the content, but the notifications panel which slides in from the right pushes the content out of the way. Inconsistencies like these break my mental model of where I am in an app.
The pull-to-refresh rainbow zebra stripes look awkward, don't provide any hints about what's going on, and are inconsistent with the folding circle animation that Google uses in its other iOS apps (like Gmail).
This business of having cards fly in diagonally as you scroll bothers me too. It's cute the first couple of times, but breaks the flow when you're trying to read from top-to-bottom.
