Apps updated to iOS 7's SDK do not have to follow that guideline. People seem to forget for the last few years, very few apps followed Apple's app guidelines. They moved way past it, adding things like pull out menus, swiping navigation, etc. I'm not sure people should expect every app updated to iOS 7 to work exactly the same. It is just not going to happen.
Got a tip for us?

Everybody with a good design sense would agree that an operating system like iOS 7 should have consistency across UI elements like the keyboard. Having two keyboards that look different but do the same thing is pointless. Every app should upgrade to the new keyboard. The app should also blend into the status bar like every other app made for iOS 7.
As far as aesthetics/consistency goes, agreed. I was mainly wondering if there was anything functional or even perhaps usability related that was lacking as far as anything specifically iOS 7 related.
It's been worthless to me since it started having loading screens before playing videos, instead of having native playback it has to load up a webview to play videos hence the loading screen, it also randomly breaks the quality settings.
It's pretty UI means nothing if it's main function (playing videos) is crippled.
McTube, for sure. It has a great feature that people love that is unlocked when you pay for the Pro upgrade.
(Yep, it's back.)You can also choose video quality and the quality at which a video starts at.
I tried a few videos and they went to high quality fast. I don't see the reason to force 720p unless you are trying to play a long video on a bad connection. For me it plays the highest quality after a few seconds.
Under no obligation should Google uses new keyboard. It is their app, they can do whatever they want. It is Apple's responsibility to make sure overall UI consistency.
Google has no reason to use the old interface. Besides, Google loves flat design and using the iOS 6 keyboard goes against that.
Maybe because Google is working in something better for Android? They must busying wih Android 4.4 which will come soon and the new Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 devices.
Google is updating QuickOffice for Android, but not for iOS... QuickOffice still crashes on iOS 7.
Those who work on Android at Goole are not the same people that work on Google's iOS apps. Focusing on one doesn't take away time or resources from the other group as they can't really help each other given that the engineers are working on completely different things and have completely different expertise.
