Saying it "utterly fails" seems harsh, especially because you don't give any explanation. I don't think you can say it fails at all, the author never said it was an attempt at minimalism, or minimalism in the way you understand it.

The app has its own aesthetic. I think it's debatable whether it's minimalist or not. I don't think it's justifiable to say it "utterly fails" either way though.
