Been using on 5S and iPad Mini for 4 weeks- no issues at all for me. Thank God as the final 7.1 is taking FOREVER! Come on Apple!

As far as I know, only new stuff with Siri is higher quality voice and able to change genders in more countries. In the UK I can now have female. The male voice has significantly changed and sounds more real.
I gave up waiting for the RTM and installed beta 5 last night on my 5s
So far I haven't had any crashes or low memory errors in the diagnostics!
Glad that animations are faster too. I was using noslowaninations while jailbroken, it annoyed me so much!

Interesting enough. I am experiencing stutter and temporary hanging when I turn on my iPad. This has started three days ago. Till then beta 5 was really good on my iPad.
I am disappointed by the progress iOS 7 has made so far..
This happens over 3G on my 4S. But I'm guessing it's easier to get a strong 4g signal than a 3G signal, so it's less of a problem.
Geez, that's not a good sign. Did you try a hardware reset or clean install to see if the problem cleared up?
1) Yes, this needs to be implemented.
2) It's better but still needs improvement.
3) Doesn't bother me.
4) I've no idea what you're talking about here, animations are a LOT better in 7.1.
5) Eh?
6) Eh again?
I don't get why that's an issue, it's by design and makes sense. What else would it try to play?
What bugs me about the keyboard is that I can type perfectly on my iPod with iOS6 but not a device with iOS7. It's aggravating.
The expanded layout of Albums makes it difficult to find the album. Sure you can search for it, but that shouldn't be required. This in addition to how poor Radio is has driven me to not even use the Music App.
The last source thing isn't a problem if you're always using the same thing. But listen to music. Play a video. Then don't use the phone, come back and hit play expecting to hear music, it'll try to play the video.
It's always been this way with Apps in folders, but it can/should be improved. Open the folder, open the app, hit the home button, tap to close folder. I just find it cumbersome.
You don't find that the tiles slide around when trying to close an app? Or do you not close them?
So if you open an app from a folder, then quit, it should take you back to the Home screen, is that what you want it to do? If so, me too, that should be added.
But instead it's... hit the Home button to close the app (but the folder is still open) but it's needed to be pressed again to close the folder and then again to return to the Home screen.
And yes, I do close my apps before bed and I've no issue using Multitasking.
Yes, that's what I'm saying/wishing/hoping.
Apple tries/aims to make things fluid, but when they don't achieve it, they fail miserably. Previously (pre iOS7) when in multi-task view & in an app, tapping the home button would take you home. Now it just sends you back to the app you were in. You can swipe back in multiple apps, but AFAIK Safari is the only one where you can swipe forward (as long as you've swiped back).
It's just so inconsistent everywhere.
It seems depending on where you place your finger on the card it will stay still & allow you to swipe up, otherwise it'll think you're trying to scroll through the open apps.
