1. The cutesy animations are a waste of time.
2. The removal of limits on apps in folders is nice, but the ability to only see 9 at a time without scrolling is wasteful and pointess.
3. Feels like mostly a fresh coat of paint rather than making any real changes to the interface.
4. Some of the new icons are ugly.
Those are my primary reasons for disliking it.
1. I'm pretty sure the animations dont take any longer than the ones on 6. They increase usability by visualizing change.
2. I would like to see 12 in a box, but it doesn't affect me. I deleted a ton of apps after updating. I don't have more than 2 pages in a folder.
3. What I really like is control center, everything is there. Clock app for alarm, control my music, my brightness, and orientation lock all after a single swipe. I use them often. Multitasking has also been improved, but I hope they make a revision where you can zoom out to see more open apps at a time.
4. Overall I like them. The Settings icon and camera icon are butt ugly. All the other ones I really like. Especially the weather one.
1. My iphone 5 has shutdown on it's own twice this past week. While that's not indicative of any widespread issues, it's concerning as this has never happened with my iphone 5 on ios6, or with my iphone 4 that I've had for 2 and a half years.
2. The zooming in and out when using folders is annoying and almost nauseating, I can see how this could bother people who have more serious issues with vertigo/nausea.
3. a. The resizing of wallpapers when you turn the parallax feature on is terrible.
b. certain backgrounds make the font unreadable on the lock screen or on the home screen.
4. The new weather display in the notification center is way too cursory, not enough information and the fact that you can't just set a location you have to have location services on for it to work, doesn't this put a slight bit of drain on the battery when the old system worked fine where you could just set the location?
5. Albums within Artist View is useless, why even have individual shuffle buttons next to the album name, when it shuffles all albums for the artist, what if I only want to shuffle one particular album by an artist? i know, I can view by albums, but that's more tedious than just going to the artist tab and choosing the album from there...
6. a. When is an update coming for iBooks? I know it's not core to the operating system, but at this point you think they would have updated the app so that the design language would fit in with ios7.
b. same with the remote app
Overall, I will say that I like iOS7, it just seems like there were certain features that got overlooked, or were made worse than previous.
1. That sucks dude, have you tried reinstalling? It's really simple. I just switched to a 5S and pretty much hit backup in iTunes when my 4S was attached, and then plugged in my 5S and hit restore.
2. I don't like how the animation sometimes skips, but it doesn't affect me as far as usability. I doubt anyone with that extremem case of vertigo should be handling a multimedia device then.
3.a. It resizes because it's not big enough of an image. You'll eventually see more parallax friendly images popping up.
b. I haven't had any problems.
4. I hope they make it more visual and not just text. As far as the location, I can't speak for how much it actually wastes battery, and how often it updates. Haven't run out of battery on a daily use.
5. I like having the albums within the artists menu. I've always felt the music app in ios (all revisions) have been kind of weird. I especially hate the landscape album view. That's just annoying. Not too much different from 6.
6. Yea, idk, but what they did with newstand looks atrocious. I'm sure we'll see some revisions soon, it's so early in the release. I doubt it's high in priority.
Overall usability and feel is a plus for me. For all my purposes they seem like they hit the spot.
