I discovered this morning that the Google Authenticator app is broken in iOS 7. While it does display authentication codes, it doesn’t display the associated service description. So unless you only use Authenticator for a single service, you’re kinda stuck.
Google are aware of the issue, but haven’t yet released a fix.

I can hardly express how excited I was to see this purple-toned, ugly-ass bar now appearing at the top of the otherwise-beautiful Flickr website. They do that at Google, right?
