I know this is a nit-picky thing but why does this app require 6.1 or later? Thats a funny move. 6.0 I can understand.

What functionality could they have in 6.1 that made them have to require it?

They might have just targeted the 6.1 sdk and decided not to deal with the 6.0 issues. For new things it is actually a good idea as 6.1 is quite a bit better than 6.0 in things like core data.

The only changes made were in MapKit and UIKit.

Doesn't mean there weren't any.

I find random differences far too often.

Why would you be stuck at iOS 6.0 when 6.1 is a quick over-the-air upgrade for all iOS 6.0-compatible devices?
