Looks a lot less intuitive than the UIDatePicker in iOS, which is styled like a slot machine [1].

Does anyone know whether you can manipulate the controls by dragging, or do you really have to use those little up and down buttons?

You can drag them.

Swiping works, but due to its minimalistic design, I first expected it to count up when I swiped up - while it did the contrary. It behaves like the iOS slotmachine, but clearly the affordance is broken.

Swiping works just fine.
