Exactly... I have 2 devices registered and they both work, the non registered accounts give the error.
Did side by side on both versions, and app icon is literally the only thing changed. Not sure why some people are getting error though.
Non-developer, iOS 7 Beta 6, 4S. App works fine.
Maybe the error is for people that downloaded it under iOS 6?

This is Find My iPhone running on iOS 6, hence the glossy message window. It was a mistake for this version of the app to be released to iOS 6 users, hence the problem. The app seems to work properly on iOS 7 (including non-registered users that shouldn't be running it).
As someone who has flown to Africa numerous times to try and find his lost iPhone, only to find out it was between the couch cushions the whole time, I welcome the new icon.
Yes, but since Beta 1 or 2 you needed to d/l the version available on the dev website as the public release failed to work properly
So you're not a fan? The new UI is clean and crisp. Modern. The old UI is looking aged and dirty next to it.
Kind of making Retina irrelevant
Regression for sure.
What is the point of high pixel density if you are going to turn everything into flat filled shapes and remove detail?
I am not saying I was a fan of making everything look like desktop notepads and felt lined tables, but I'm also not a fan of Microsoft's Metro look that uses 4 colors and boxes to represent a "modern" UI.
I mean if it wasn't for the rounded corners on the icons there would be no point for Retina because there would be no need for anti-aliasing.

Find My iPhone works natively since iOS 5. This is the app to look for missing devices using another iOS device.
That may be the only thing changed on the surface (ie. what you see), but under the hood, there may be a ton of programming changes.
I think the icon looks great. It still is an easy first glance to identify it, for those who are used to the old icon... and it brings it inline with the rest of the design.
