iOS7? Have you downloaded it yet?

lurker17260 — Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:34:40 GMT

Is it any good? I've heard a few differing opinions.
I'm using a iPhone 4S.

I have, it's not great but you get used to it. I do like the new camera features, but I use my phone camera a lot. Don't like the front page type thingy. 🙂

I have and I don't like it at all. Hubby doesn't think much of it either. Haven't even had it for a week, and they've already sent one update to fix bugs. Apparently people were able to bypass the password protection!

What is it that people don't like? I don't mind it. I would have preferred the way Safari home page looked before though, was easier to find things, button links, like save to home screen etc.

The only thing I don't like is when you're scrolling up if you're too close to the bottom of the screen another page thingy (?) comes up.
Just annoying when it happens every bloody time.

While it is annoying that page gets dragged up, it's a very handy little shortcut to some tools.

Luv it, anything new is a novelty and fun learning how it works, just downloaded for my OH who has not upgraded his phone for months.

I have not sure I like or understand it though.

My son asked why I would be the first to download this when no one knows what it does yet, I just diwnload anything that comes up.

Can't go back to my 4s now so will have to get to like it.

Chatting to a friend (iPhone 5) who downloaded and she says it hasn't anything to offer but is okay when you get used to it.

daughter no 2 said it was rubbish for about ten minutes but stopped then. so it must be OK, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped.

Has anybody downloaded it on their ipads? I have a mini ipad and it wasn't till yesterday that I got notice of the update being available for my device. I'm wary of downloading it as I've heard some dreadful things, and my husband has had a few issues with his iphone since downloading it.

I'm not game to touch it to be quite honest.

I'm updating my ipad now, Grumpy. Will let you know..
My son said it took about 5 mins to get used to and things are running faster on his phone.

Well, I have it on phone and iPad and it has screwed up Facebook I have just discovered. I now keep getting a red Error message saying not connected to network, but I am! Very annoying. Will have to try just getting onto FB thru the classic site now, Safari.

I use Safari for when I go onto Facebook just about all the time. You are limited with what you can do by using the actual Facebook app that's on the ipad.

I shall watch this thread to see how you fare tiny toes.

Grumpy, I have no problem at all with it. It took ages, nearly 45 minutes to download, but it is a fresh clean look and so far all my apps are working fine. Even FB.
Safari looks different and takes a bit of getting used to.. No link or automatic bookmark to google.
And yes that screen does pop up from the bottom a bit too easily but as said it is a handy control panel.

I hope I'm not speaking too soon... But I give it a thumbs up.

I have Kindle books on mine, I hope if I am brave enough to do the update, that I don't lose anything I've stored on my iPad.

Thank you tiny toes.

My ibooks are there. Is that the same as kindle?
All my pics everything is fine. Safari opened on the pages and tabs I had open.
So far so good.
