Actually, I don't think it's minimalist. It only looks minimalist, which is a quite common situation. I can't find it now, but long ago I read an article about a housing project that included a comment on how many "minimalist" project actually required more effort both to build and maintain. And that's how this app feels — it has replaced a lot of standard navigation, I need to use two fingers more often than not, I need to learn a lot of gestures, and one of the most common gestures tends to clash with the notification center drop-down. Ah, and it hides the status bar, so I don't even see the time. This is not the minimalism I signed up for. The standard reminder app — or Wunderlist — may have more visible interface elements, but both are more minimal in how they actually work.
