iPhone 5s Users Reporting 'Blue Screen of Death' Error with iWork Apps

I got reboots with my iPhone 5 and iPad until I reset all settings on the device. I had run some of the betas on them and I think a .plist somewhere was corrupted- after resetting settings I haven't gotten any reboots at all.
Haven't seen this "blue" reboot but i haven't hung around in the iWork apps much.
Looks that way. Always get this sort of thing with such a big architecture change. Of course it'll get fixed.
Should have displayed a Sad iPhone though. None of this Windows-like BSOD malarkey!
I had a blue screen of death on Skitch the other day too. Must admit ive had quite a few crashes of springboard and soft reboots (its not a full reboot as it doesn't require pass code instead of finger print at the lock screen for the first time)
Must admit this is more crashing that ive ever experienced from an iPhone and ive had every once since the minute the first was released in the UK! I kind of expected it with iOS7 though, its a hell of a lot of work to be done in under a year, really id say this sort of redesign should have been in the works for two years behind the scenes, I just hope they do 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 whilst we wait for 8. Its a shame the mobile market insists on yearly updates instead of "when its ready".

Just adding my 2¢
I have noticed on my iPod touch that sometimes it just randomly goes to the Apple logo. Minor annoyance, but usually I just have to wait about a minute before I can use my iPod again.
Which is not to say I don't want this problem fixed ASAP.

I believe iCloud really has something to do with it. When I first read about this it was the first time I open pages on my new iPhone 5s. I just got it the other day. I couldn't get it to crash with the sample doc. It did ask me to let iCloud sync and I said yes. After a few attempts with the sample doc and no luck getting it to crash. When I open Pages again my iCloud docs where there and I open one of them and did the highlight/copy then exit and bam. Pages kept crashing the phone until I turned off iCloud for Pages and deleted all my iCloud docs that where down loaded.
That is your personal experience and may be there are few like you. Many do not use iWork or has as many problems as you have.
I have seen in the past where people have remained on original OS that came with each new phone model just to be able to jailbreak.
There are people who would prefer jailbreak over iWork working etc. I am one of those.
