Is there anything you like a lot less in iOS 7 than you did in iOS 6?

I really miss the weather in notification center. Especially the 5 day forecast.

Yea they show you the current weather there now, but its useless imo.
 
The signal dots in comparison to the old bars. I also hate how there is no backround to the status bar like there was in iOS 6. You could have any wallpaper in 6 and signal, time, and battery was always easy to read. But in iOS 7, it can be hard if it is a light wallpaper at the top.

This, and also how Reminders have totally changed in notification centre. Very annoying.

Basically, all the changes to notification centre are annoying and illogical.
 
Multitasking 'cards' is done horribly on iOS 7.

Most of the notification Center is useless.

The non-customizable CC is ****.

Thank god for jailbreak or I would have never upgraded from iOS 6 to this mess.

Cards can can be useful to some in some situations, like if you have a photo with some information that you are trying to copy you can quickly go to the card view and see he photo and the information there and get back to another app to type it in without actually switching apps themselves. Certainly faster in situations like that. Is it useful all the time to everyone, well, that's a somewhat different question.

A good chunk of the notification center is still the same showing notifications. Some things like traffic have been added as well. Other things have been removed or changed, that's certainly true. But it's far from most--in fact most (the notifications themselves) is largely the same.

While the Control Center can't be customized, it sure beats having it available rather than no Control Center, right?

There are definitely valid issues about all these things, but over exaggeration doesn't help.

Deleting texts messages takes more keystrokes than before. OS 6 only had to swipe and hit delete. OS 7 you have to hit edit, then minus sign, then delete.

Small thing, but I hate it.

You can still just swipe on iOS 7, even though it's now only right-to-left.
 
Calendar sucks

The calendar is horrible, or maybe i just don´t understand how to use it anymore..

The only thing I don't like about iOS 7 is the loss of split view in Calendar. It's annoying to use the magnifying glass to see the list at once and it's not implemented that well.

Oh Lordy, where do I begin...

The 5-bubble strength meter... why mess with something as iconic as the ole strength ladder. It conveyed the exact message at a glance. The 5 bubbles... looks bubbly I guess. :rolleyes:

Pretty much all of this. Also, I don't really like the flat icons.

That's stupid, why change something that everyone's used to?

It was right to left in iOS 6 as well, it's just that left to right also worked, and now they standardized it to only have it work right to left as that is more consistent with user flows for those kinds of actions.

Oh ok, yeah I guess that makes sense. I do it left to right for everything I delete now, I'm sure there's a good mix as far as what people do. Why couldn't they just have kept both?
 
1. Scrolling through all the songs by an artist by year just to find the latest album or one song on the latest album.

2. Forward and reverse scrubbing through tube style videos is a pita. The scrubbing bar almost disappears and doesn't ever re-commence playing at the point where you let go of the scrubber.

It depends on your device and your personal needs. I have an iPhone 5 that I kept on iOS 6.1.4 until just yesterday. Sadly, iOS 7 is the future of iOS. I was tired of being left out of all the new apps I was seeing releasing, only being iOS 7 compatible. Since the iOS 7 jailbreak came and tweaks are quickly becoming compatible, I decided to go.

Same with me.
The iOS was going to move on whether I wanted to upgrade or not. So, I just went for it. I have to say, there are a lot of things that I like in iOS 7. It has grown on me.
 
There are things I don't like but also a lot of things I do like. I'm not upset I updated from iOS 6 to 7 and I would do it again given the option.

Things I like, time stamp in message app. I like everything about control center and I use it very often. Multitasking screen (although I think it could be a little better), all sorts of features in settings (data usage per app, etc), camera app, camera roll (photos app), etc etc

I'm looking forward to iOS 7.1. I think a lot of my little gripes will be fixed from what I'm reading.

Nothing really just a couple bugs that will eventually be fixed. Like copying and paste from a PDF that's email too me doesn't work well. Safari has a memory leak that I heard was fixed in iOS 7.1 but I can intentionally make it crash.

Some performance related issues (I've found turning increase contrast setting on makes the phone more fluid) but I'm on an iPhone 4S. I don't particularly care for the color scheme but I'm used too it. Nor did I like the effects so I turned on reduce motion in settings so that's a none issue.

And I'm not a huge fan of the new calendar app but I'm used too it now.

I could rattle off a bunch of stuff I didn't like about iOS 6 too. Overall with a little time I do prefer iOS 7 though.

One thing I really don't like about iOS 7 though is it's memory management. I guess that's to be expected but 512 mb RAM is not enough. I'm sure it's much better with an iOS device with 1 gb RAM but on my 4S it takes NO effort for apps to quit being suspended in the background. For example if I switched to safari right now and used it for a couple seconds tapatalk would refresh and I'd lose everything I'm typing now. Taking a single picture will do the same.
 
there used to be the option in text/iMessages when you scrolled to the top of the message, you had the option to save to clipboard...I no longer see that and I miss it. maybe the notes app doesn't have to be so white...
