Parallax, who uses it?

I turned it off. Interesting effect, but this actually does make me feel a bit sick looking at it. Well not exactly sick, but uncomfortable. Even for just a bit. The zoom animation is annoying too, but hey this is just me. Wish we can turn off the zoom animation or make it more snappier.
 
I actually like it. Seeing as I have all of the other "big hitter" memory drains off this isnt causing much extra usage. I change my wallpaper a lot too so the effect stays fresh for me.

It is much more noticeable on my iPad than my iPhone.

Personally I wish Apple spent more time on features such as Quick Reply, I think that would be a lot more beneficial than Parallax. I also wish if I disabled Parallax it would disable all the time wasting animations.
 
I just turned it off a couple of days ago. I never saw any added battery drain with it, but it just seemed unnecessary to me. It's not like I stand there moving my phone back and forth.
 
It makes the OS seem more lively. I haven't turned it off at all yet so far, and my battery life has been fine on my iPhone 5. The main thing to preserve battery life is to turn off Frequent Locations and Traffic in Location Services.

It was tuned on as the default and I did not even notice the "effect" untill after a few days of using it. Unless I really look and know I would never even notice.

And this is making people dizzy? LOL!:rolleyes:

It's like totally funny how different people can have different physiological effects to different things...totally funny...to immature people. LOL indeed. :rolleyes:
 
I leave it on. The only time I really seem to notice it is when I have an alert or any type of pop-up. I think it's fun, but yes completely unnecessary.
 
I kinda miss the full panorama wallpaper effect that was in one of betas. Hope they bring it back

Me neither! I think it's crazy that I've had iOS 7 loaded for a couple weeks now and never noticed it. I thought it only worked with certain backgrounds, so never tried looking for it (I have a photo background).
 
I turned it off pretty quick. I don't see the point in it. It doesn't do anything to make the home screen more lively and at times it's far from smooth.

Have you tried changing your wallpaper?

Yeah it still allows me to put a panorama wall paper back! I skipped gm and went straight to 7.0.2. Might do a fresh install incase any other bugs have carried over
 
Like most people here, I turned it on for a few days and then turned it off. The novelty wore off, lol.
 
Turned off here. Didn't particularly enjoy the effect. I tend to look at the screen straight on, so it never moved anyways.
