iOS 6 incompatible apps list

This thread is actually extremely useful

Wow some really vitriolic postings on here. I develop small scale applications for free distribution as part of a research project. I cannot afford to own multiple iOS devices - in case anyone hadn't noticed iPads and iPhones are pretty exspensive. I'm sure this is a similar situation for any other small developer on here.

I therefore, like many others, use my personal devices as my development testing devices. It is therefore critical for me to know if apps I use for my work are compatible with iOS 6 before I install it on my iPhone or iPad.

Remember - there is no officially supported way to downgrade if you discover a show stopping problem. I'm not advocating reporting these as bugs, being beta software and all, but posts like these are incredibly useful for people like myself.
 
I think anybody installing iOS6 beta knows there are going to be problems, but it's good to know if there are any known problems first. I don't think people are complaining that, say, Kindle doesn't work, but if you use Kindle extensively, you may think twice before installing the beta.

We are developing for iPad and I have the luxury of a spare iPad2 for testing iOS6, but I'm not going to put the beta on my new iPad because the software is being designed for iOS5 first.

However, I have beta tested many software packages from iOS5 to Adobe InDesign and my experience is that if you don't make it your main driver, you won't find the real bugs and problems. Yes that means that you will suffer, but hopefully there will be a better product at the end of the day.
 
Instagram crashes a lot (rebooting fixes it for a while).

NAB (Australian bank) online banking crashes.

Mixcloud streaming sometimes doesn't work (again, reboot to fix).

I'm a marginal baseball person. I like to listen to my hometown games though I live in New York. I've installed iOS 6. MLB at Bat's audio doesn't work. It keeps "buffering." Last night I got a "connection error" error. Certain other features work. Anybody have any similar issues or know anyone who does, or where I could go to get information about it? Largely, I am pleased with iOS 6. I like the built in Amber Alerts and Emergency Alerts.

Kindle problems

Kindle 3.0 works perfectly on iPad 3 and iPhone 4S here, however Kindle 3.1 always crashes when trying to access a book, fortunately I still had a version of 3.0 and was able to remove newer version and go back to the older working one.

I also have the same problem and use Kindle daily. Could I convince you to email me a copy of the 3.0 version of the app? If so, kristycwoodard@gmail.com. Thanks!

How could I obtain an older version of the app to use?
 
Stanza

Would someone be so kind and see how Stanza performs on iOS 6. In my opinion, it is easily the best ebook reader in the appstore.

Amazon bought the app and have abandoned it. When iOS 5 was released the app did not work. After many requests from users they recompiled the app for iOS 5 and released it with the caveat that "thats it" no more releases.

I'm really really hoping it will work with iOS 6. Buys us Stanza users another year.

Thanks.
 
After some testing I found out Draw something free crashes and is unplayable (Crashes after intro screen every time). But the paid version works just fine.

I think this is a very informative thread actually. I didn't get the vibe from the OP that it was intended to be "b*tch and complain session" about apps that aren't working for beta 1. Just a thread to list what apps aren't working at the moment. Perhaps we are all a little hyper-sensitive to this because of all the other "b*tch and complain about beta 1" threads.
 
one for UK people O2 Moments app doesn't even load just get a black screen then back to home screen..... miss my bargains :( may have to go back to ios 5

1) this beta was meant for developers only so if its on a personal device and an app doesn't work that sounds like a personal problem to me, not an iOS 6 problem

2) why would developers update an app to work with a beta... let alone the FIRST beta

EDIT: op needs to at least put BETA 1 in the title

Developers do it all the time. Perhaps it has something to do with the millions of people who use the beta and their apps????????


MAYBE??????

iTunes U does not work , when you go to find courses, everything in the "store" is just blank and doesn't work properly.

eBay app crashes almost right away anytime you try to go into a message.

I think my point was more along the line of.... the beta has been out for (at the time) a freaking week. You don't expect them to fix all the problems that fast for every app do you?
 
Hey "developers":

The average Joe has access to something that you as a "developer" has access too. Get over it, you are not as cool as you think.
