To communicate with data used by the whole application, yes it makes sense to go to the app delegate.

In this small example, an easy to understand method does have its obvious advantage. I am only commenting that in order to use the principles of the design pattern, technically the functionality of those buttons should be moved to a view controller. Otherwise, one might ask, why did I have to make a class file for the view controllers? I never used them right? Also, if it was implemented the way I suggested, there would be no need to make source files for either of the Views, and less source files to me means easier to understand.

Touché, sir....touché.
