Over the months that Camera+ has been out in the wild, we’ve observed many, many people using the app in the real world. One thing that initially surprised us was to learn that most people had no idea that multiple photos could be selected in the Lightbox. Even though we mimicked the way Apple set things up in their Photos app, it soon became obvious to us that this function was less than obvious to our users, unfortunately.

Regardless of the fact that Apple did the exact opposite of what it recommends in the HIG, using the same icon for two distinct actions is downright reckless.
