How well do you guys like iCloud?

well not in no time. I have the restore take up to 2 hours before I could get all my apps going so 2 to 3 hours.

compare that to an android phone or a windows phone where there's nothing like it out of the box. a decent backup on android requires rooting.

I don't use iCloud for Documents, but I'm thrilled it syncs Contacts, Photos, Calendar, etc.,. Makes everything a breeze.

I like the IDE but I wish I could use it for more like saving games so I don't have to restart angry birds every time I get a new iPhone...

I am still learning about iCloud. I use it for Calendar, Contact, and documents for Pages and Keynote. I also use DropBox for storing pictures, small video clips, and documents.

Use icloud constantly. Great for backups and live syncing of information. I often change something and go to do it within a few mins on computer and its already updated.

The let down with all ios devices and Apples current online services is file management and creation.

I like it but my problem with it is lack of access to what's in it. Every time anyone has a problem with their phone members here and geniuses tell you to restore as new. In that case what use is it?

I have a message bug from iOS 6 and I can't delete 1.7gb of message data out of the cloud without hacking the back up image. If Apple offered a way to just access that I could just delete them from my phone.

Better yet, let me TURN OFF message data from being saved to iCloud just like I can turn on/off everything else!

Oh well

Apart from the occasional quirky behaviour I'm pretty happy with it. I sync between iPhones, iPads and 2 Macs. My only really annoyance is notifications and badges not updating between devices.
