iOS7 is simply disaster for average user :(

Simply put,iOS 7 is a underdeveloped Windows 8 clone,Samsung riddled piece of garbage.Im keeping 6.1.4.I've actually exploited 6.1.4 AND 6.1.3 and may publicly release it,or just sell it for 50k,haven't decided yet.And I've never wrote an exploit in my life,just took 4 of the leading 6.1.2 exploits,tweaked it a bit and got untethered jailbreak and Cydia installation.

Agree 100%. iOS7 on iphone is a step backward. Calendar in iOS6.1 is wonderful, in a month view you can just touch a date with an entry and upto 4 entries shows at the botton. In iOS7 you have to tap to open and scroll each date. It is horrible. New icons look cheap. I AM KEEPING 6.1.4., until apple listens. May be apple is no longer a leader in innovation. It is sad to see apple taking beating.

Agree with Abby, New mail count is just wrong... I have several mail accounts, but at least one doesn't recognise the number of new mails in it... but going into the mailbox inbox, they show as unread. Also I have lost the network status bar again from the home screen. (Took a little while longer than Beta 2!) Also, I don't see the dictionary.. is it a non UK feature?

dreax - July 12, 2013 at 12:43pm

i don´t know what´s happening...maybe someone can help...every time since beta2 when i´m synchronizing my iphone5 with itunes all my songs get deleted and have to be synchronized again...i choosed compression on the music, so it takes each times 3 hours to have them back on the phone...it´s such a waste of time!! thx 4 help

Tara - July 12, 2013 at 12:54pm

1. The only thing I can think of is go to your settings, then music, check if iTunes match is ON. If it is ON then turn if off. Try it. 2. The other thing could be due to a bug in the beta 2 version. Upgrade it to beta 3 version using wifi. Then the problem may be fixed.

dreax - July 12, 2013 at 2:02pm

hmmm..thx..but i don´t use itunes match....and i also upgraded to beta3...it happens just if i synchronize compressed audio files....with no compression it´s working fine but takes 10 gb more of space :-(

Tara - July 13, 2013 at 10:04pm

Your said it takes 10GB more space. What size are your files with compression. Usually decompressed files can take about 1.5 to 3X more space. I mean if your original compressed files are 10GB then it may be 20GB after decompression. I am curious to know. Post your feedback. I hate iOS7 because the text is not easy to read. The Calendar is the worst in iOS7.0 May be apple will fix it.

I tried IOS7.0 beta 1, beta 2 and beta3 on my iphone 5. I have following gripes: 1. The Icons color looks over saturated and icons look flat and cheap. 2. The text size is very thin and if I change it to bold or bigger in size in beta3 thentext gets fuzzy (not sharp like iOS6.1.4) 3. CALENDAR: A month in view now shows a gray dot on dates with appointment. I have to tap on that day and scroll up &down to see the details. In iOS6.1 I could just touch the date with appointment and see the appontment at the bottom of calendar. That was better. On samsung galaxy-4, I can just touch that date and see all the appontments (without scrolling). Apple needs to make the calendar more practical. 4. NOTES ICON: It is yellow color that is not friendly to eyes. There should be a choice of color or it should be of some deep dark color. I hope apple will listen to me. MY View: Apple needs to improve the previous IOS rather than making it cheap looking. I will stay with 6.1.4 until apple listens. There are a few things that are better in iOS7.0 like previews.

Email Icon, doesn't show the quantity of new emails coming in my inbox. Every time I open the app it shows me new emails, but I can't realize how many new emails I have if I don't open it. on Iphone 5 GSM unlocked IOS 7 beta 3

Marcelo Plentz - July 11, 2013 at 3:42pm

Music App got worse! Why there is no "All Songs" in the albums lists when creating playlists?!?!

wihtout beta 1 and 2 is there a way i can get beta 3 to download?

Paul - July 11, 2013 at 1:43am

Yes, just look for the ios 7 beta 3. Download it, back up your device. Hold option/shift and press where it says check for updates, select the ispw you download it and there you go. And just so you I do not have developers account and I'm running ios 7 beta 3 on an iPhone 4S.

Does Skype works on ios 7 Beta 3?

Shingyo - July 10, 2013 at 7:46am

LTE was replaced with 4G on my SoftBank iPhone 6

Shingyo - July 10, 2013 at 7:48am

I meant iPhone 5

magnificent3 - July 10, 2013 at 11:58am

same here. iPhone 5 TMN (portugal) displays 4G instead of LTE.

Rick - July 10, 2013 at 5:06am

Folders in dock do not animate when opening and closing. Been like this since beta 1.

Rakesh - July 10, 2013 at 5:01am

Do we have cellular toggle in control centre?

Chris - July 10, 2013 at 2:08am

Also- keyboard shortcuts (eg. Omw = "On my way!") weren't working in previous betas and have been fixed in beta 3.

Instead of focusing on adding more features to the previous ios, they have decided to wipe out the whole Skeumorphic ios6 design and waste a considerable amount of time for a complete redesign with icons, that a kid of 5 years could do better. Apple went too personal in this step, that can cost them more than what they already lost.
