Touches of photorealism in the icons don't look dirty to me. I don't particularly care for this new icon (nor a few others, notable the one for Safari).
I've seen the minimalist icon look done well in some postings on this board of 3rd party icon sets. But the ones coming with iOS 7 seem to lack the charm and, frankly, the artistry of those 3rd party efforts, while at the same time losing the sparkle of the "aged and dirty" antecedents.
That's what I don't get. All of these app designs still have sceumorphism. They are now just flat, childishly designed apps with the exact same themes.
I suppose the sceumorphism they were trying to get rid of were in the apps themselves, but this just doesn't seem to track for me.
You would use the app if you want to find something other than the phone you are using, say looking for you iPad via your iPhone for example.
worked for me... i have a free developer account with apple.. so may be thats the reason it worked..
So...
You need a Dev account to get it legit, right? And this version shows the error message only when a non-Dev uses a copy that he found somewhere in a drawer? Why is that a "mistake"? Doesn't "Find my iPhone" in iOS 7 have that new feature where you can make the phone so you can't activate it without your name and password?

Yes, skeuomorphism is going away. See Notes Reminders in iOS 7, and Calendar and Contacts in OS X. Guess they just haven't gotten around to redesigning these apps yet.
They pushed it to everyone by mistake.
You need an iCloud account to track your phone.
Fixed?
I just updated my daily use phone which is still in iOS 6 and got no error messages. Even tried logging into a different Apple ID that is not the one using iCloud on my test stuff

This is one of those perks I get for paying $105 with tax to Apple every year.
Paid or free developer account is all you need. So no perk unfortunately
in my view the older icon was better, now i'm gonna go and check out the app, maybe i'll update this.
