What is your evaluation of iOS7 (out of 10)?

6/10

Way too much white
Too slow to feel snappy like iOS6 (have to wait for animations to finish)
Still buggy with safari crashing a lot
Calendar blows
Simple things which should be easy to add to OS are still left out ...like quick reply
Still not happy with the lack of customization

The good thing about iOS 7 is its more fluid and tasks seem to be easier to perform.

It would depend on the feature.

Overall: 8.5/10

Maps: 9/10
Music Player: 8/10
Contacts: 8/10
Animations: 9/10
Security: 10/10
graphic design: 7/10 (I get it, its just not a great universal look IMO)
Safari: 10/10
Reminders: 9/10
Siri: 9/10
Settings: 7/10 (it has way to much going on)
Clock app: 9/10

New features: from 8/10 to 10/10 (photos)
 
Aesthetics - 2/10
-Really digging the new icon shape.
-Some of the icons are decent and perhaps better than their prior iterations. However, I'm not looking forward to my Homescreen being a bunch of blue/red/green blocks with glyph icons. This may work for Windows phone and it's dozen or so apps but not iOS. Hopefully app developers will deviate from the provided examples.
-Overall it's pretty sloppy and uninspired. Ive's direction on this is very poor. Lots of inconsistencies, amateur at best designs, and lack of cohesiveness. Kind of a train wreck if you consider what has been delivered in the past. With the resources Apple has, the timeframe is no excuse for what was delivered. Ive needs to go back to hardware exclusively and let someone else take the reigns on the software UI.

Functionality - 8/10
-Outside of some various bugs, the functionality and enhancements are pretty rock solid. Craig's team made a lot of great strides on this release. iPad version is a bit rocky but not too terrible. I hope that it becomes it's own within the point releases... right now it is the iPhone version blown up.

iOS 7 GM on my iPhone 5 - 7/10
On the iPhone 4 - 4/10

I love that they took a radical turn, but the design feels rushed and amateur. The features are mostly welcome; the performance, however, is not. Slower animations and general UI speed. Overall I'm optimistic, and I genuinely can't wait until the new apps start rolling out.
 
9/10 on my iPhone 5. Would be a 10 if battery life was better.

8/10 on the iPad mini. Would be better if it were smoother and had better battery life. Still a few bugs here and there on the iPad.
 
5/10

features taken out of ios 6 that were really useful such as the twitter and facebook buttons yet their integration in the phone remain...then features taken out of ios 7 like custom labels for contact details.

it just feels unfinished.

the design of it though including icons and typography I love including the reversed mail icon.

just the lost functionality annoys me greatly and hope they come back soon.
 
Functionally, it's the same as iOS 6 but with many added features. They didn't change the core way the OS works, just added to it. I do mostly enjoy the new UI, but with some refinements it'll really shine.
 
5 out of 10. I'm honestly not keen on the new design but some of the new features are welcome. It was too buggy and I went back to iOS 6 after a day of trying it.

This is from the first beta point of view.

I wonder why all kinds of companies are going for a flat design?
 
4/10. The design is hideous.

Is there a way to quickly get to the bookmarks in safari without having to scroll all the way to the top of the page? I hate how that bottom bar is hidden

Not sure if thats what you mean but, in safari when you scroll down the top and bottom bars disappear leaving only a small top bar with the websites name on it, tap on the name and the bars should appear again hope this helps
 
Having the GM iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, I'd give it a 9/10. I really like the new design, for the most part. Some of the icons are ugly, but that's not enough for me to say it's not a good improvement. Functionality is much better, multitasking and transitions are much smoother, I haven't noticed any difference in the battery life either. Really like Siri improvements, as well as the control center.

I'd say back in June 4 out of 10, but after using it all this time and now the GM 9 out of 10.

Same here- really disliked it at first- now absolutely love it. I had serious doubts about apple a few months back but now my faith is restored. Try a dark dark blue background- stunning.
 
I give it a 6/10 on a 4s
Pros
- Battery Life
- Multitasking bar and swipe to close
- Shortcut bar even though I have left the flashlight on a few times already.. Once for a very long time till the point that the phone was blazing hot and the led wouldn't turn on. :eek:
Cons
- Folders have multiple pages but only three rows of icons instead of 4
- Doesn't have any Apple feel that I am used to I feel like I have switched to Android. It feels bland and uninspired like the iOS took a few steps back.
- The alarms default tone is horrible. I slept right through it
- Siri sounds more realistic but I miss the old voice. The new male voice is the better of the two.
- Noticed a few wifi problems when I tried to load tabs in safari. I also don't like all the tabs I can have open at once.

I have never been into jailbreaking my phone but 9/10 that I would do it if I stick with my iphone. A lot of other devices are catching my eye now and this iOS combined with the 5s are making the choice to stay harder.

The new icons are really flat and boring.
There is no art in them.
New control center and notifications are fine.
White background of control panel is boring.
Generally speaking, some benefits but very very boring design.
