I can't help but feel that emulating the iOS springboard in an app is simply confusing for the end user. Even I sometimes get confused by them, a common case being hitting the home button when reorganising icons and being unexpectedly sent to the home screen. There's a host of other ways to give the user access to a series of views that work way better than this particular solution.

It is true that it might be confusing for the end user but it is a nice alternative to classic Tabs. Especially useful if you need to have more than 4-5 view controllers in your stack. On the other hand, the project can also lead to something like the latest LinkedIn app has. Just check it on the App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/linkedin/id288429040?mt=8

While I don't have much use for SESpringBoard, this is the first I've heard of Cocoa Controls. Very cool site.

    There have been a few submissions from cocoa controls lately. It is definitely an awesome site and I recommend checking out more of the libraries on it.

    As for SESpringBoard it doesn't seem nearly as useful as some of the other libraries on cocoa controls.

Please don’t use that. It’s confusing and spits in the face of iOS UI conventions.
