I like everything that iOS7 brought, apart from Calendar, they made a right pig's ear of that. I'm using Tempo now, which is very, very good.

I'm the same, the new calendar is a disaster and its something i would use every day.

Might try Tempo

I had terrible battery issues yesterday while roaming in Dublin. While iOS 7 has been more than kind to my older devices, battery life has not been great on my new 5s and never worse than when roaming. Typically, it was plummeting at 10% every 5 minutes yesterday and returned to better performance when entering Newry.

As a result I wiped it last night and did a fresh install, adding need-to-have apps only. I allowed the battery to drain on standby and once dead, charged it up again to 100%, unplugging it in the early hours.

It's now been on standby for the past 11h and 18m and has dropped 2% in all that time.

Hopefully, that's cured it.

Still a lot of bugs in the latest update. The email notifications bug me. I read the email and I still have the unread notification for a while.

Today the clock and bars completely disappeared from my home screen. Little things like this, I hope are fixed soon.

I'm having the opposite bug with mail - it'll ding but there be no other alerts telling I have a mail, despite all the notification preferences being ticked.

My only issue with iOS7 now is that my mail icon will show i unread mail, but there is nothing there.

After 30 mins give or take then it disappears or a new mail appears.

Have to say I'm not a huge fan of IOS7. Safari and other apps crashing regularly. Can't access the iTunes Store via the app. In the mail app I can't click or open links contained in emails which is a major pain. Am I missing something here?

Have you tried restarting the phone? Press and hold the sleep and he button until an apple appears on screen. Failing that restore as a new phone.

Have to say though that genuinely I'm not having any of the problems you describe. Someone else said safari crashes with embedded YouTube vids but it's working fine for me as well.

Restarting the iPad definitely improved things. Thanks guil.

Overall I like iOS 7 but I have a problem with the App store. It keeps telling me that I have the wrong region/country set (it comes up as US). I go in to the settings for my Apple ID and it is set to Ireland but the problem persists. The only way to get rid of it is to change to a different country and then back to Ireland and it works fine for a while and then the problem pops up again. Help please, it's driving me crazy.

I use this link when that happens: http://appstoreswitch.com

It doesn't seem to switch back.

Thanks for that Username. I'll try it the next time I get the message.

Is anyone else having problems with the YouTube app since ios7?
In fact even YouTube videos watched from Safari.
The audio is fine but the video is very jumpy and damn near unwatchable.
Using iphone 4. Very irritating.

That's a connection issue. Are you using wifi or mobile

I actually love the new OS.. have it loaded on my iPhone and iPad since day one. I should say it did take some getting used to, but now I can't imagine going back to iOS 6

Has anybody had a problem going from one app to another say settings to safari and it leaves a shadow of the home screen just for a split second.

Oh and I am happy with iOS 7 apart from calendar which they made a balls of.

Ok, so I've used it for a few more weeks now.

And my main problem is still the reduction in responsiveness.

Eg. Ok iOS 6 I would quit an app using the home button and then pull right to access search.

This would be instantaneous. It's no longer instantaneous. It can take 2/3 swipes from the top to get it.

Similarly - entering the passcode. There is a perceptible delay.

Now - this is a small margin. But it irritates me cos it wasn't there before. My phone responded instantly and this very low latency to user input is one of the reasons I loved my iPhone 5.

I would downgrade to iOS 6 if I had the option.

I know

But what I'm trying to illustrate is a sluggishness that wasn't there before.

Also, notifications are slow to update and change. If I get a text, read the text, then go back to the homepage, the 'new text' numbers remains over the text icon for a few seconds.

I can never remember that happening with iOS 6.

Have you tried restoring as a new phone? I haven't had these issues with my iPhone 5, nor have any of my friends.

Overrall, i'm very happy with iOS 7. There is a definite drop in battery life, but it isn't drastic. I haven't restored as a new phone either, which my resolve this

Numerous times (and they appeared to have sorted out the bleak battery life issue).

The mrs sent me a text a few minutes ago. Notification at the top of the screen came in while I was in safari. Pulled notifications down, no sign of more details of the text.

Opened the text app... nothing.

Took around 5 seconds for the new message to show. I'm not sure is that iOS or iMessage but that didn't happen in iOS6.

No such issues here either. Nor battery issues.
