Does anyone else think i.o.s 7 sucks?

Question

I'm curious if anyone tried it out yet, or if anyone likes the major change.

(I just updated my ipad 2, so I'm obviously using that system now.)

I figured the change would be inevitable, so
I downloaded it anyway, and now regret doing so. Can I undo..this? :(

The colors, style and sleekness is interesting, but
I would like to change the color palette. This Blinding White of searching/typing on Safari
Is irritating for the eyes, and possible battery life.

Overall, the new change is interesting, but not too much helpful.
I'm noticing little bugs/errors just typing this, but whatever.

If anyone have a deferent or similar opinion, please share. Thank you.

Answer 1

It is not the same thing. It looks like sh!t. I downgraded back to 6.1.3 before Apple closed the signing window.

Answer 2

They basically took everything that I liked appearance-wise about Apple, and have for years and years, and got rid of it. Then, they drastically reduced the functionality: the font and color scheme are horrible and illegible in certain situations, the screen swims, the battery life is horrible, siri doesn't work, there is a greatly increased lag time when typing and text messages aren't going through, I can rarely get a voice mail to play without hitting the play button repeatedly, browsing is slower, the list really goes on and on. If Apple's refusal to fix this or allow downgrades is an attempt to force us to buy the latest iphone, it won't work. I've been loyal for years, but if I have to use a product that functions like a Windows platform then I might as well pay less and get a Windows platform. Next upgrade is in a month, no more iphone for our family.

Answer 3

Ios 7 Sucks

Answer 4

Lol the IOS 7 is to make all the hardware slow expect for the latest models. Apple does that so people upgrade to the latest model. Why do you think the iPad 1 is so slow. There should be a beta version for god sake.



Lol they make everything late so people would keep buying there stuff.

the ipad is basically the same thing as the iphone. for the iPad 1 they can easily add a camera in it. But they didn't they saved it for the iPad 2. Also the iPad 1 weigh

Answer 5

I really hate the new iOs 7. I must admit at first i thought the "bubblyness" from the new graphics was kinda cool and different, but the use of it is much worse. I use my camera a lot to take pics of my 5 year old, and it lags, and sometimes wont even save the pictures, and other times will just close down the entire camera all together on its own. Its runs a lot slower, it lags terribly, and it freezes nearly all the time. It has been a major Pain in my @$$... It has even completely took a crap on me and shut down completely, and then i lose a bunch of contacts, FOR NO REASON.. what is that crap....I really hate it, if apple doesnt fix the defects then they will def be 1 customer down because i will switch to something else. I did love Apple. but this is nuts.....

Answer 6

It sucks big time! First of all battery life on my iPad has been reduced drastically. Previously it would last at least three or four days without needing to be charged now it can run flat in a day. I hate having to sign in every time I want to use it but now it insists.

Now to that awful font. Mr Ives obviously doesn't remember what a font is for, it is to be legible and communicate information so what does he give us? Probably the most illegible font possible - not just helvetiva but condensed helvetica light in white on a light background, now I ask you just how stupid is that? No option to change it either and no way to go back to using iOS6 which was working perfectly. Clearly Mr Ives never heard of the phrase, 'if it aint broke dont try to fix it'!

I hate iOS7!!! I am sorry I ever upgraded.

Answer 7

OMG... I hate iOS 7. I have not upgraded my iPhone or my iPad ever bc I always hear about bugs etc... I allowed my husbands peer pressure & all the pretty new icons trick me into upgrading & I've been kicking my own a*% since. It is super super slow. My phone & iPad lag, freeze on n on. I was at the store the other day & my card declined bc I forgot to transfer money...usually no big deal pull out my phone click click done. Yea not so much anymore. The clerk had to void my order & I stood outside for 15 mins literally waiting on 2 pages to load. It would've been quicker to drive the 3 miles to the ATM . Ever since I use my Windows based laptop for everything now, which is not real convenient. I would sell my soul to revert bk to iOS 6. Lesson learned ... Just bc it's pretty don't mean it's better damn it!!! Anyone else have same issues? Any suggestions? Anyone know if it's possible to revert to old iOS?

Answer 8

I HATE iOs7!!! It eats the battery unless I have it set on 3g and what's the point of that! Didn't I purchase the 5 for the Lte?? It crashes all the time. At this point, I'm beyond caring about how awful it looks. I just want my phone to work the way it worked with iOs 6. My husband bought the 5s and it is just as bad on that! WTF?



Oh, and when I upgraded my iPad, it wiped the entire thing and would not reload it from the back up. I've had to load each app individually. Sometimes it shows my purchased apps in the app store but most of the time they are hidden.



So, yes, I think this SUCKS!!!

Answer 9

I have been waiting on a reason to drop apple and iOS7 is it. Safari sucks. Its buggy as all hell. Battery drains gallore.



I realized after about 2 days that people were never receiving my texts on imessage either. I reset the iMessage and reset the phone and looked back on pages of texts to people that never received them, one being my boss.



Just in case you haven't yet figured out you're being screwed, didn't your iPhone 5 work just fine under iOS6? but now its slow and laggy. So, now you want the 5S that has a faster proccessor... Weird.



I'm done. I'm going to the Note3 this Friday. I hear alot of other people really like the HTC one also.



Apple has taken enough of my money for too long now and no longer deserve the right to keep my business.

Answer 10

I can't stand iOS7. Apple sold out and tried to copy Android. They took everything that made apple better (intuitive use, simplicity, the simulation of the real world in a digital environment) and threw it away.



I suppose some moron marketeer decided that because Windows Mobile and Android are "Contact" based, that iOS should be, too. WRONG.



All of the pathways to use the apps have changed. It's like learning a completely different OS. The appearance is flat and bland. Everything is scrolled instead of "page" swiping.



I will never buy another Apple mobile product until iOS changes to be more like it was. Unfortunately, my iPhone 4S is starting to feel its age and I would rather nail my tongue to the table at breakfast every morning than use Android. I bought my son a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and I HATE Android. It sucks.



I believe there are two types of people that use computers (smart phones, tablets, etc.) There are those that think, "This is a complicated device and therefore it should be complicated to configure and use and only PhDs in Computer Engineering should be able to use them. Since I'm smart and I have to spend 5 hours farting around with configurations just to change my screen saver, I must be better that everyone else."



Then there are those who feel a computer should be as easy to use as a toaster.



The first group likes Windows and Android. The second group likes Mac.



What does that have to do with iOS7? Apple has decided to join the first group and the second group now has nowhere to go.

Answer 11

My wife and I both used iPads and she upgraded and I didn't. Mine at 6ios something hers now at 9ios and some. The difference between the two today is like night and day. For many above the age of 50 if you suffer from the beginnings of cataracts, you will be blinded and uncomfortable with this latest version. Characters are tiny and generally will be lost with the bright white back grounds that overwhelm you. Many of the Apps being brought out today, all but forgot about backward compatibility, so they won't run anymore on 6 and below. The beautiful icons are all but gone. The older calendar that had the appearance of a book, and the appearance of pages, gone. I used to look forward to new apps, now I am concerned how bad some new app will look. Sad to see us go backward, 6 was referred to as cheezy, but I find the new look, horrible. Give me back cheezy!

Answer 12

It more than sucks!



I know for a while Microsoft was trying to be Apple, has the trend reversed and now Apple is trying to be Microsoft?



I upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone, everything broke and virtually nothing worked.



I upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPad, won't play videos or music anymore.



I upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac, WiFi was unable to stay connected to a network for longer than 20 minutes.



I'm not the brightest guy, but I think there's a pattern here?



I think the lesson is that Apple has lost it's soul and is now just spitting out absolute junk.

Answer 13

I had IOS 6 on my iPad 2 and I was the biggest fan of Apple... Until I downloaded IOS 7! With IOS 6 my battery life never ever decreased below 75%. Now everytime I open my iPad 2, it does not open... because the battery is totally drained out! I really don't see why they have released IOS 7... Totally useless. Steve would never have authorized this useless release...

Answer 14

My iphone 5 was 3 weeks old when i screwed up and downloaded ios 7 3 weeks ago. my iphone is 6 weeks old. I traded it in for a samsung note 3 today. IOS 7 sucks so bad, i honestly think it will bring APPLE back down to earth. It is a fundamental disaster of epic proportion.



while i was in the ATT store, 5 other people were dumping iphones for samsungs. I have yet to find anyone who likes IOS7.



You finally blew it APPLE.

Answer 15

It's ugly, the lock screen photo disappears with notifications and turns to a gross grey screen. The photo can't be scaled to fit anymore on lock screen, the notepad is boring, the calendar is no longer simple and concise. The battery is eaten up. The home screen backgrounds are silly pastel colors, new icons need a dark background which is only offered in boring black. Artistically the whole phone is cartoonish. Where's the depth we need?

Answer 16

It totally sucks. I hate it and everyone I know that has an iPhone hates it. It looks like a cartoonish toy for kids. Really lousy graphics. It runs like crap, eats up battery life, is slow and freezes. Some of my friends have had to go to their cellular carrier and get the phone reset because it totally locked-up the phone. I loved my phone before this but Apple really screwed-up on this one. I looked up online how to fix it and you have to change tons of settings manually. Not worth the bother. I am due for a phone upgrade in a few months and may just ditch the iPhone if Apple doesn't get this fixed. Two thumbs down!!!

Answer 17

Whilst I realize ALL change is bad (lol), some changes are just that, bad. This is one of them. I regret "upgrading" as the screen presentation and just how it looks is not to my liking. Does anyone like it or am I just a grumpy old man? It absolutely HATE the new calendar look and function. It would be nice to go back to the old system. Apple, stick it in your ear. I hope I never meet one of the design engineers for Apple as I would not be very nice to them.

Answer 18

Was an iphone user from the beginning. I can now say I no longer will be. I have gone to the Samsung Galaxie Note II phone and tablet. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I do still have an ipad mini and hate the upgrade. I keep it only to receive pictures from my daughter on photo stream. Other wise it would be gone. I recommend going Samsung. Screen is nice and large and sooooo much easier to read. Good Bye Apple. Your upgrade stinks.

Answer 19

It's an absolute tragedy - anyone else noticed bugs in Music??



Design looks cheap and crappy. Apple was always about contents, not the flashy interface. Obviously when S Jobs was around. Since his death, Apple started chasing Android designs and totally ruined the beauty of Iphone

Answer 20

SAFARI In IOS 7, is awful.. The on page search is the worst browser search ever, not to mention you never see the full URL and where the *%#^ is my bookmark bar! why was this option bothering someone enough to remove it? Ugh, don't you hate it when they remove something that could easily have become an optional feature..... Yeah...



Steveeeeeeeee, what have they done with your baby? Time to check out the new MS tablets!

Answer 21

You can sure tell Steve is gone by this ios 7 (small letters on purpose) downgrade. I have few songs and Hundreds of small videos. I have owned 36 Macs since 1988. run 8 at work. This and iTunes 11 are the worst crap apple ever put out !!!!!

Answer 22

I really hate ios7 my iPhone 4 is practically useless. My ipad2 is sloooooooower and the battery takes longer to charge. This are my MAJOR issues. But there are a bunch of smaller ones. Apple this is not like you to release such epic crap! You got us with this one so fix it! I'm already thinking of switching from the iPhone to something else. No reason for this trash! Ok i vented and feel better, but still annoyed.

Answer 23

hey guys i have an iphone 4s 6.1.3

i was was going to try the new version of ios i mean ios 7

i thought that 6.1.3 doesn't suport any jailbrek or apps to instal.

few days later i realized andwas confidant that ios 7 is really sucks.

i didn't like it ...

the old ios versions of apple are great and maybe i should say perfect.. but the 7th is the big mistake i have ever seen.. anyways

i'm glade that i'm staying in my 6.1.3 and it's ways more responsive

one advice for you guys if you are already in ios 6 don't uprades it ..you'll be sorry later..

peace

Answer 24

Yeah, ios 7 is absolutely awful. I did the same thing thinking it was inevitable, and I also missed the signing status by one day to downgrade back to 6.1.3. Apple sucked the big one on this one! It's totally messing up my apps too, but hey, at least this keeps developers employed, awesome!!

Answer 25

I don't care for it, and I'm a long-time Apple fan. I find myself wasting time looking for how to do basic stuff, and sometimes having to look solutions online. My phone is now sluggish and frequently unresponsive when I tap. It's nowhere near as intuitive, which has always been Apple's strength.



Steve Jobs would have never given this the green light.

Answer 26

i cant downgrade to 6.0 whatever because i just bought the phone with 7 already on it. 7 sucks. battery charge is slow, buggy, dont like the bright colors/look of the icons. i miss the old way. it charges half the speed of my old iphone 4. i googled and lots of ppl are complainin about the charge time/batt life. its not the batt tho its the ios7+. i jailbroke my phone and cydia isnt even caught up with it yet. and to the ppl who say stop complainin. arent u complainin urself by sayin to stop? dont like it ignore it and move on. the whole look makes me feel its for a female. id change my look of it if cydia themes worked on ios7. (ones that i like anyway).

Answer 27

Worst update ever! It makes my iPad slow and closes my apps randomly. Safari actually closed while I was trying to write this up. I hate it. I use it for school and I swear everything is so much harder to do. It's so depressing how crap apple has become

Answer 28

The iOS 7 has ruined my iPhone 4s connectivity. BTooth becomes dead. Now WiFI can only be reached within 1 meter. Contacted the paid service by chatting, and they can only suggest to restore which is in vain.

With iOs 7, my iPhone is not smart phone anymore. It is worse than low-end phones.

Answer 29

after this "upgrade" , I'm planning to sell my ipad 2 and get a MS-surface

Answer 30

If Apple is so confident of their new interface, why lock everyone out of downgrading?



Jony Ive should stick to hardware(which he is great at) and Apple should bring back Scott Forstall for UI design (at a minimum).

Answer 31

I think apple have finally lost the plot...... I think the opsys is terrible, the close button in safari is 2.5mm in diameter...... it does not recognise Jersey postcodes as belonging to the UK. ipad 2 now basically a paperweight.

Answer 32

ios7 is ****!!!! First day I installed it it drained my battery halfway thru the day. Had to go online to find out what to disable to preserve battery life. Then, found that some of my texts weren't going thru -- had to reset network settings. What bad surprises are next???



Apple died with Steve Jobs -- they are becoming another Microsoft.

Answer 33

Yes, the iOS7 upgrade does suck. Turns your iPhone into an Android Device. Look is flat/generic. New features are direct rip-offs from phones that came out in 2006. Simple misses are annoying - WHERE IS MY .COM BUTTON?!?!

Answer 34

of course it sucks , i download ios 7 for my iphone and it decreases the battery life so much and can't sync voice memos any more .. i'm so upset and wish to find a solution , i cant bear it any more

Answer 35

yea the ios 7 sucks on my 4s the music player lags in the album view the password screen suck as well as the dialing screen!!! Bring back Ios6 Apple!!!!!!

Answer 36

Yes i do,



The whole IOS7 thing sucks these bastards will make apple bankrupt, apple without Mr jobs , everybody knows

Answer 37

yeah i hate it so much. its not even like an iphone now. email wont work, skype sound doesnt work, randomly closes out of apps. and dies at 46% battery. seriously apple screwed up with this crappy ios7. i want ios6 back

Answer 38

Atleast they they should have the decency to allow downgrage to ios6.

Answer 39

Let's sue apple

Also

Or better yet......

Answer 40

It's totally crap... It seems they copied the worst of the worst of Windows Mobile

Is it still possible to downgrade?

Answer 41

Yes, it's terrible. It's ugly, glitchy and buggy on my iPad. I love apple but this makes me reconsider.

Answer 42

Yea it sucks and its a battery pig

Answer 43

I think it's awful. If I could switch back to 6 I would. It's an absolute failure, in my opinion.

Answer 44

The colors are horrible and provide eyestrain. Apple if you read this please allow an option to go back to IOS 6 color scheme.

Answer 45

It's a real suck for older iphone. my iPhone4 is slower when use safari in thai language. can't accept suck iOS.

Answer 46

worse ios ever, im losing my eye site

Answer 47

steve jobs is rolling over in his grave

Answer 48

I dislike it big time, the calendar is not user friendly, basically its awful.

Answer 49

I'm not a fan of the new scheme, but thats not the big deal. The phone is sluggier now and my BT doesn't work anymore. wtf.

Answer 50

The IO7 upgrade sucks. I do not like my iPhone anymore. Seriously, it sucks. Thanks Apple.

Answer 51

it sucks, and apple to dumb to change it... or cares too much about the asian market...

Answer 52

ITS THE SAME THING BUT IT LOOKS DIFFERENT



STOP MAKING IT SUCH A BIG DEAL!!!
