That bug burned me a couple times before I switched to using 24-hour time exclusively on my devices.

For something that people use everyday, the iOS vertically-scrolling, fake-dial UI is just horrible in terms of usability and aesthetics, and I was glad when they added the ability to summon a numeric keypad with a single tap on the center dial.

The keypad input and interaction is extremely well thought out and efficient for setting the time.

I once had to use a timesheet app that required scrolling around for all the times during the day. Timesheets are already horrendous, why compound that skin-crawling experience with such a horrendous UI? It was so hard for management to corral everyone to get the times entered that they went back to spreadsheets.
Holy cow when did they add that tap??? The UI is bad and I always struggle finding the right type. Now I can just type??
