I think it's silly to stay on iOS 7 beta

Sadly, I'm back to 6.1.4 for the second time
Until this apps work, I cannot use iOS7:
- f5 Edge Client (VPN) never connects
- Banco General (does not log in)
- Skype (cannot IM)
Other not that important, but nice to have it working are:
- IMDB
- CNN
- and PVZ (I love to take care of my Zen garden at night before I go to sleep)
I'm hoping Beta 2 fixes the top 3. I could live with that.
It sounds like you're trying to use the beta for everyday work/personal, the beta is probably best used as a developer for you to fix YOUR app to work with iOS 7.
The other app companies are probably doing the same thing and will eventually release updates to make their apps compatible, but they may wait until a close-to-final-version of iOS 7 before updating.
I don't understand how people can afford to downgrade back to 6.x. I mean are you putting all your app development/testing on IOS 7 on hold until later in the cycle?
Thanks,

I'd say the majority of the people on this forum aren't developers and are really just trying out the new OS... No development for them to do.
Right now I can't afford to dedicate time to update our company apps. Besides, our users won't be upgrading to iOS7 until final release, and by that time, the Apache Cordova api, which I rely on for my apps will get updated, and I can make my apps work again. So, yes. I'm holding later in the cycle.
I have my hopes up for Beta 2. And if not, I will keep updating and rolling back. I just miss iOS7 too much
----------
Our apps are based on the Apache Cordova api, so until they update it for the new iOS, there is no point in going and trying to fix the compilation errors I'm getting on Xcode. So, I upgraded to test the apps, they don't work (not even the ones compiled with 4.6.3), so I'm just playing with it. But since is my everyday phone, I can't live with those 3 apps I mentioned.

Is not my case
I thought this was a joke but you're getting serious replies. So just in case, have some
Totally agree. Apple betas are buggy as hell. And lacks the apple polish. I said **** it too and downgraded. Now we wait for another boring iPhone 5 release with an S attached to it.
if it didn't happen with beta 5, then it happened with beta 4...but the point is it happened and it can happen again.
edit: you are correct, but now i'm stumped on when it happened. i don't think it happened on ios 6

The build gets 'better' but not necessarily smoother to the end user.. They focus on different areas in each beta and may disable features (optimizations) to allow bugs to show through.
I went back on iOS 7 and I noticed that I had a voicemail but no recent call history and I didn't hear my phone ring! Weird!!
Left the room and came back and seen my phone was off! I tried to turn it on by pressing the on/off button and that didnt work, I than pressed the home button and the on/off button and it is now on...did this happen to anyone else? The phone was plugged in and charging..I was afraid that my phone was ******** for a second there
This is a perfect example, this never happened before to me on any other beta!

Just asking
I hope that many more people than just developers try to test the OS. (More crashes sent automatically to Apple)
Just asking
Wicked I thought I was going to hear another rant about how non developers shouldn't install it lol
Just asking
do they automatically get sent to apple? i thought they didn't, that is why we have to file a bug report.
i hope everyone is filing a bug report for each bug.

Oh, you know what Steve said: "Technology is not just for some of us"
AFAIK, there's a setting inside iOS to send crashes and that sort of stuff automatically to Apple. I think the formal "bug report" is for something as a glitch that normally do not make the OS crash. Just my 2c.
