Anyone happy with iOS7 on their iPad?

The iPad will reboot after you checked the box but then I think everything is more readable because the thin font is rather something for retina displays.
I did the updating on iPad Mini and iPad 3 the other day.....and while at first I thought everything was OK, for some mysterious reason, the bookmarks and bookmarks bar in Safari on the iPad 3 suddenly disappeared! Ack! It took a while to resolve the issue by simply backing up with a recent backup of the iPad Mini, and that did the trick.
Overall, I like iOS 7 and I like the way it looks on the iPad Mini the best. Functionality seems fine, no serious lagging (except for the wallpaper thing, which people have mentioned). All in all, I think it is a good update.

Works really well on my Mini as well. The only "issue" I have now is, it makes me really want a retina display for my iPad! As far as the software goes though, works really well.
Which type of reset did you do? I've only had the wallpaper lag on my ipad 4 as well. Been fine otherwise.
I've done a soft reset just to clean out any potentially rogue apps causing lag. I still find the animations laggy, but I've noticed they improve and become more fluid over time. I'm assuming this is a result of caching, but overall, the performance on my iPad 4 is still modestly worse than on my iPhone 5. I've read Apple hasn't really optimized iOS 7 for the iPad yet, which I find surprising, but that seems to be what I'm seeing here. Everything still works, but there is a discernible degree of sluggishness.

No issues on iPhone 5, iPad mini or iPad 3rd Gen.
I disabled parallax because it's just a gimmick.
I too enabled bold fonts on the mini. The default font under the home screen icons looked too pixelated and made the screen look worse than it actually is.

YOu mind sharing your tweaks you did? SO far i have just turned off Parallax!

Really like it on all my devices.. some lag here and there.. buts all good...
Not really tweaks...just turning off what I dont use/like/need..Siri for one! Background app refresh,minimal apps using locations. I dont use iCloud.
Since the update I have twice run the battery down and charged to full.
I dont have clinical data, but its better, although another factor come in! I have been using and checking more than I did before update.
Usage from last full charge 2hours 10min...Standy 5hours 20min and I have 86% showing! Does that help anybody?
It looks great on the ipad but I will admit that I am perturbed by the folder view....meaning they should show more icons. I know why they did it (they're just zooming into the icon you see on teh home screen) but it jsut feels like a lot of wasted space on the ipad. Other than that though...it looks great.
We upgraded our Ipad 4 65GB wifi model the day after release, and it runs the new OS fine..No lag or sluggish behaviour at all. Have a buddy with a 3 who's not having the greatest experience though...I think anything below the 3 might be worth skipping out on, and of course the 4 has the better CPU so should handle 7 well.
I found with it on and the text having the extra girth it brought greater attention to the fact that I did not own a retina device, to me it was more annoying to try and read.
And to comment on iOS 7 on the iPad it appears to be running just fine on my Mini, I even notice better battery life.
Reset all settings. Don't do a full wipe/delete all data. Just a full reset. Seemed to work for me...?
I'm loving it on my iPad Mini.
Though I do hope they would add the the vanilla weather/stock apps....

I updated my phone, but I won't update the Ipad because of the motion sickness inducing animations in iOS7.
I like a lot of things in this iOS, but the animations need to get back to what they were in iOS6 : an elegant, barely noticeable way of opening and closing an app, and not a designer statement.

I like it just fine on my mini. My wife and daughter like it on their iPads. I have had the screen rotation freeze on my mini a few times. Did the home+power button reset to get it to work again. Had it on the GM, and after I cleaned installed from iTunes. Just curious if anybody else has had that issue?
So far, so good on my iPad 2. I feel the battery life is *slightly* worse but it could just be me looking for it. I also probably havent fully optimized it yet although I do have most of the heavy-hitters turned OFF or down. Even then, battery life has always been great so even if it is a little worse its not a big deal.
Im fine with the look, the operation, everything else. The parallax effect is cool and never gets old. The new gestures are cool, especially those related to app management. Very pleased with all of that. Like the Control Center too - very useful.
The contrast and extra "whiteness" isnt my favorite and the Scale & Crop feature for wallpapers doesnt do a darned thing. Thats really about it. I like the update a lot and its made my iPad 2 feel like a new, refreshed unit again

Tempted to go for it on my iPad 4, but my 4S took such a hit in battery life (like cut it in half), that I'm afraid of ruining my iPad's battery life. Sounds like not many of you are complaining about the effect of iOS 7 on the iPad 4's battery, but I'm still hesitant. Might wait til 7.1.
