Beta 2 was a lag fest and crash city to me on my iPod touch, beta 3 has been nothing but smooth and wonderful for me, a few bugs here and there but they are VERY minor. I am hoping with beta 4 Apple fixes the last remainder of the bugs for iPod touch at least, that way I can live without a beta 5, or 6, and wait for GM.

iOS7 is perfect on my 4s to the point I installed it on my daily driver. The only gripe I have is that I can't use Skype. However that's why I have a laptop right :) but B3 has been smooth. Hardly any crashes. (I did a OTA from b2)
 
Beta 3 was definitely a huge step forward for me, but beta 2 was also pretty good.

If anything, I'd love to see the return to thinner text which we saw in betas 1 and 2; the thicker font seems too clunky to me.
 
Music controls work half the time for me from the lock screen or the slide up control panel. Also would it kill Apple to add a "Do Not Disturb" feature to the calendar? So like if I'm in class it automatically just silences notifications. Would be very useful.
 
So we had reports that indicated Beta 3 would be released on July 8th. Do we have similar reports for Beta 4? I haven't seen any myself, just wondering/hoping. It would be nice if they had Beta 4 out this Monday and it addresses the hangs.
 
B1 was unstable but had decent battery life with my IP5 (VZW). B2 was much more stable, but my battery drained much faster. B3 has gone back to better battery life, apps "more" stable, BUT, I have lockups and shutdowns WAY more often.
 
Didn't iOS 6 only have 5 betas?
so technically this can be the last one!

Well this would be beta 4, so..

Also, this is a complete redesign of the OS. iOS 6 was just like the previous OS plus a few minor features and UI tweaks.

This will need more betas than iOS 6 did, and I think we can expect 6-9 betas.
 
It sucks that ya'll are having crashes and lockups on B3. It has been smooth as silk with me with only one minor graphical glitch that I noticed when switching the keyboard between text and characters while in the messaging app. Its my daily driver and I haven't had a single reboot or crash.
 
Since beta 3, my phone no longer receives calls, gets very laggy every few hours, has wallpaper glitches, and has shut itself down several times.

Very anxious for beta 4.

I can't believe beta 3 is your reason for not recieving calls.

What are you running this on? iphone 4/4s?

Check out the multiple threads on the issue. There are quite a few users experience this. Everything was fine previously, on iOS 6 and the first 2 betas of iOS 7. Since updating to beta 3, I no longer receive calls. The only way I know I've missed a call is if the caller leaves a voicemail, and I then get the voicemail notification as normal. My fiancee, parents and a few friends all text me after they've called me so I know they tried to call.

There are at least two threads regarding this issue, which I've linked. It is most definitely beta 3 causing it.

I'm on an iPhone 5, by the way.
