I'm not a fan. I just don't get why they adapted FF Meta. It's overly complex (the 'g' for example), and not a great display font. They should strive for simplicity, rather than individuality. Android's Roboto and iOS's Helvetica Neue achieve this, my personal preference being for for latter.

Yeah, the kink in the lowercase y, the gap in the g, and a few other touches don't scale down well IMHO. I am a big fan of the trend of designing free typefaces for general use like this, though.
