Apple Planning Fix for iOS 7 Home Screen Crashes

I run into the iTunes issues a lot (sometimes they add unintentional humor, like a Disney soundtrack suddenly switching album art to that of the TV show Justified) as well as the notification issues and crashes on my 5s. I like a lot about iOS 7 but there are some issues.
I have this problems with iTunes, and different notifications problem also: the phone seems to forgot the notifications setup.
The most annoying thing is when transferring music itunes get stuck and I need to delete all the music from the phone, reboot, restart both Itunes end the phone, wait and pray. Never had one single problem like this before ios7.
I'm a Gmail user and have had 0 problems with Mavericks. What issues are you experiencing?
----------
Keep on having bugs with iTunes TV Programs that are in iCloud. I try and stream a movie/tv show, the app gives me the message "Video could not be streamed" and at the same time glitches meaning I have to close the app and reopen it.
I try and download videos from the cloud and it won't let me unless I'm connected to WiFi.
My experience has been different using iOS 7 up through the current beta 4 on an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and iPad 3. The only issue I come close to having had is not being able to go to a notification/message from the lock screen, and that I consider to be designed on the safe side.
Have you done a fresh install on your iPhone 4? Mine runs a lot better now as opposed to when I was going off the Over the Air update. It is still slower compared to the iOS6, but faster than when I first installed iOS7.
I wish there was a way to speed up the zoom effect on my iPad Air. When I unlock, that half second it takes for everything to zoom in onto the screen is kind of annoying now that I've had it for a while. The effect was initially pleasing, but now I wish it took a fraction of that time.

I wish they would remove the iTunes store link in Music App. It's the worst when I'm working out and I click it when I'm just trying to scroll or click a song or I'm just clicking back from the now playing screen.
It's good that Apple is admitting their is a problem with iOS7. To be honest...I got my iPhone 5 when it was released and iOS6 has never crashed on me yet. I've had a few apps that have crashed like the weather channel but that's not the iOS fault. The stability in iOS6 is just impeccable and makes using the phone a joy everyday. I won't be upgrading to iOS7 until I know for sure all the bugs have been addressed. It's just not right to make the public the guinea pig for an iOS that clearly doesn't work right from the start.
No, I haven't. I will give this a try when i get home tonight. Thanks a lot for the link.
I have a iPhone 4S and a 128 GB iPad Air, you? Because it happens on BOTH devices - constant App Crashes and iTunes just sucks now.
The main reason I never switched to Android was the stability and ease of use of iOS7. Despite the fact that I never liked iPhones, I justified staying by saying at least it works and the UI was dead simple. Now I can't even say that any longer. They broke almost "EVERYTHING" that I liked about iOS with this update, even the Camera Function UI Changes are completely nonsensical to me - what is with all the white space on photos? I'm always scared that my photos got clipped...
----------
Forgot to mention the syncing issues. For some reason iOS7 has an issue with syncing and only seems to work 50% of the time without constantly hanging. Again, this is on both my 4s and iPad Air.

Same thing happens to me, where it would randomly wipe songs from my library - I'm assuming it was because I was reaching my HD limit, but the weird thing is I had the random delete/free up space option deselected in my iTunes, but the darn thing insisted on doing it anyway. I guess as a owner - I don't know what I want, so iTunes decided to do things however it wanted to anyway. Drove me NUTs because it always happened when I traveled...
I was asking because I haven't had any issues like these and want to get the details from someone that is.
I have iPhone 5s and iPad4.
For anyone with automatically send diagnostic and usage data on, thank you.
With that setting, Apple sees the crash reports, including all these home screen crashes. They are able to get a better idea of what causes them from the reports, and the volume helps prioritize which ones to fix.
It sucks when the crash happens, but at least some valuable data can be collected about it to help fix the problem. Been seeing them on my iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd gen enough to be a little annoying. Had a feeling 7.1 would be addressing as many as possible.

How about fixing the AWFUL battery performance that came with 7.0.4? Everything was spectacular with .0, .1, .2, and .3...
Now I HAVE to turn off my cellular when not using the phone if I want to get through half a day.

Drive to make money does. If you have no need for money would you still write great code/get lazy/less interested? IOS 7 to me shows that there was too much playing going on/management issues or the project was too great for the resources that were thrown at it.
IOS releases used to be rock solid, features took a long time to be perfected.
With this they could always say our features are behind the competitors but are better. Now they are even further behind and far from rock solid or better.
Don't get me wrong I Love apple products, just frustrated on waiting for a bigger phone, perfect iPad/Surface device, stable IOS, IOS Apps and Games on APPLE TV AND OSX.
