Michal Ždanský There is no doubt that iOS 7 is the most controversial version of Apple's mobile operating system. Drastic changes always divide users into two camps, and iOS 7 introduced more than enough of such changes. New look and other changes in the user interface it arouses different passions, more conservative users are dissatisfied and want to go back to iOS 6, while everyone else who called for the death of skeuomorphism in favor of a cleaner design is more or less satisfied.
However, there are things that no one should be happy with, and there are a lot of them in iOS 7. It is evident on the system that the team of designers and programmers did not have enough time to catch all the flies and polish the system properly, both in terms of code and GUI. The result is an iOS that feels like sewing with a hot needle, or like a beta version if you will. These bugs overshadow otherwise great new features and other changes for the better, and are a frequent target of criticism from users and journalists alike. Here are the worst of them:
Notification Center
The new notification center has a much nicer minimalist look and cleverly separates information and notifications so they don't mix. Although a great idea, the notification center is severely underdeveloped. Let's start with the weather, for example. Instead of an icon representing the current forecast together with a numerical expression of the outside temperature, we have to read a short paragraph that displays more information, but not the ones that interest us many times. Sometimes the current temperature is completely missing, we only learn the highest temperature during the day. Better forget about the forecast for the next few days. This was not a problem in iOS 6.
There is also a calendar in the notification center. Although it displays overlapping events skillfully, we only see an overview for a few hours instead of seeing an overview of events for the whole day. In the same way, we will not know the next day's agenda either, the notification center will only tell us their number. In the end, you'd rather open the calendar app anyway, because the overview in the notification center is insufficient.
The reminders are quite cleverly displayed, where we can see all of them for the current day, including missed ones. In addition, they can be filled directly from the notification center, that is, in theory. Due to an error in the system, the tasks do not work at all for some users, and after marking them (by tapping the colored wheel) they will still remain in the notification center in an unfinished state.
Notifications are a chapter in themselves. Apple has intelligently divided notifications into All and Missed, where only notifications you haven't responded to in the last 24 hours appear, but it's still a mess. On the one hand, the missed function does not always work correctly and you will only see the last notification in All. However, the biggest problem is interacting with notifications. There is still no option to delete all notifications at once. You still have to delete them manually for each app separately. It's a shame to talk about the possibility of doing anything with notifications other than deleting them or opening the relevant application. Likewise, Apple hasn't been able to solve the display of notifications in apps so that they don't overlap important controls in the top bar, especially if you're getting a lot of them.
Kalendář
If you depend on the good organization of your agenda through the calendar, you should avoid the pre-installed application. The problem with the calendar is zero information on most screens. The monthly overview is completely unusable - in previous versions of iOS it was possible to switch between days at the top, while the bottom showed a list of events for that day. The calendar in iOS 7 only shows a useless display of the days of the month matrix.
Likewise, entering new events is still just as complicated, while third-party developers have come up with some innovative ways to create new events, such as writing them into a single field, where the app then decides what the name, date, time, or location is. Even iCal in OS X 10.8 can do this to some extent, so why not the calendar in iOS 7? The application thus remains one of the worst possible calendar variants, buy third-party calendar applications (calendars 5, Schedule Calendar 4) you will be doing yourself a greater service.
Safari
Nilay Patel from the server The Verge declared that Apple should fire everyone responsible for Safari's new user interface. I guess I have to agree with him. The clear frosted glass for the bottom and top bars is a really bad idea, and instead of keeping the controls out of the user's way when browsing the web, both bars look very distracting. Google has done a much better job in this regard with Chrome. Along with the glowing cyan icons, the UI is a disaster for users.
The address bar always shows only the domain instead of the entire address, thus confusing the user who cannot be sure if they are on the main page and will only find out after clicking on the relevant field. And while Safari for iPhone lets you take advantage of virtually the entire screen for both portrait and landscape viewing, it can't be achieved in either orientation on the iPad.
Keyboard
The keyboard, iOS's basic input method for entering text and therefore one of the most important elements of the operating system at all, seems to be rather unsophisticated. Foremost is the lack of contrast between the keys and the background, which makes it rather cluttered. This contrast is especially noticeable when you use SHIFT or CAPS LOCK, where it is often impossible to tell if this function is on. The transparent version of the keyboard is probably the worst thing that Apple could come up with, the problems with contrast are multiplied in this case. Furthermore, the layout for Twitter has not been resolved, when the special Czech keyboard on the iPad does not allow the use of hooks and dashes as separate keys, instead of them there is, inexplicably, a dash and a period.
What's more, with third-party apps, the keyboard appearance is inconsistent, and in most apps we still encounter the one from iOS 6. Strangely, this happens even with those that have been updated for iOS 7, for example Google Docs. Since the keyboard doesn't have any major new features and therefore doesn't need a special API (my guess), couldn't Apple just automatically assign a new keyboard skin based on whether the app is using the light or dark version?
Animation
Most of those who have updated to iOS 7 can't shake the feeling that iOS 7 is slower than the previous version, regardless of the hardware difference. In some cases, the slower everything is due to poor optimization, for example on the iPhone 4 or iPad mini, and we hope that Apple will fix these problems in the upcoming updates. However, that feeling is mainly due to the animations, which are significantly slower than in iOS 6. You will notice this, for example, when opening or closing applications or opening folders. All the animations and transitions feel in slow motion, as if the hardware just isn't up to it. At the same time, Apple only needs to make a few improvements to correct this error.
Then there's that parallax effect that Apple likes to brag about. The movement of the background behind the icons, which gives a sense of depth to the operating system, is impressive, but not efficient or useful. This is basically just an "eye" effect that has an impact on the durability of the device. Fortunately, it can be easily turned off (Settings > General > Accessibility > Restrict Motion).
Service issues
Immediately after the official release of iOS 7, users started to encounter problems in Apple's cloud services. On the front line, Apple didn't handle the rollout at all, instead of splitting it up into time zones, letting all users download the update at once, which the servers couldn't handle and many hours after launch the update couldn't be downloaded.
Windows XP users, on the other hand, were cut off without warning from the ability to synchronize iTunes with the device (an error message is always displayed), and the only really workable solution is to update the entire operating system, ideally to Windows 7 and above. As of September 18th, there have also been issues with the App Store either not working at all or not showing new updates. AND iMessage not working problem is just in the solution.
Inconsistencies, icons and other imperfections
The rush in which iOS 7 was probably created took a toll on the consistency of the user interface across the entire system. This is very visible, for example, on the icons. The color transition in Messages is the opposite of that in Mail. While all icons are more or less flat, Game Center is represented by four three-dimensional bubbles, which in no way evoke gaming in general. The calculator icon is boring without any idea, fortunately the calculator can be launched from the control center and the icon can be hidden in the unused applications folder on the last page.
The other icons didn't go too well either – Settings looks more like a cooker than a gear, the Camera icon looks out of context compared to the others, and it doesn't correspond to the icon on the lock screen, the Weather looks more like a cartoon application for children in an amateur version, and again it's incredibly wasted opportunity to use the icon to display the current forecast. On the other hand, the Clock icon shows the time exactly to the second. Weather would be more helpful.
Another controversial matter are buttons in the form of text, where the user is often not sure whether it is an interactive element or not. Wouldn't it be better to use icons that are understandable across languages and easier to navigate? For example, in the music player, the repeat and shuffle functions are very strange in text form.
Finally, there are other minor bugs, such as various graphical glitches, page indicators on the main screen not being centered, persistent bugs from beta versions where Apple apps sometimes freeze or crash, illegible font, and more when using certain screen backgrounds, including Apple's .
The team responsible for iOS 7 probably wanted to get rid of the Scott Forstall legacy and its skeuomorphism as much as possible, but Apple threw the baby out with the bathwater in this effort. Due to the early sales of the iPhone 5s, it was probably not possible to postpone the update to iOS 7 (selling a new phone with an old system would be an even worse solution), however, from a company that is so focused on details - its late CEO Steve Jobs was famous for this - we would have expected a tighter result. Let's at least hope that in the near future we will see updates that will gradually eliminate persistent errors.
And what bothers you the most about iOS 7? Have your say in the comments.
is beautiful
I think it should have been worked on for a while longer.
I don't have the slightest problem with iOS 7 :)
I don't have a problem either and subjectively the system (ip4) seems faster to me
On the iP4, quite objectively (because it can be seen) significantly slower response.
I'm jealous :-)
Am I the only one who would kill for that horrible music player?
you're not, it's terrible, confusing, the way the albums scroll is horrible, and I miss the alphabetical search there
YEAH! I see red, it's just being written about
I will join …
On the iPad in Album mode, only one column and the rest empty with piditext.
Group by artist does nothing...
And to make matters worse, iTunes Match has broken down and I have nothing or only a few songs on my iPad :-(
Design is largely unquestioned. If we accept the neon look and style that these designers came up with, the problem is that even they themselves do not follow it...
As already mentioned, the huge inconsistency stretches across the entire system, and it only starts with the icons. Furthermore, there are problems with alignment in various parts of the UI, inconsistent navigation, hiding important functions, parallax not exactly well resolved, etc., etc.
The problem is that nothing will probably be done about this. That's a done deal, and we won't see any other changes until next summer in iOS 8 at the earliest. (And that doesn't even guarantee us that something will change. It's quite possible that Apple will also come up with the fact that iOS7 is perfect and I'll just add a few little things.)
I TOTALLY agree with the article!!
Due to lack of debugging, I left Android and now I have this?!
I'm hoping for a fix soon as I'm really longing for ios6
The bottom bar on the home screen really annoys me, it's downright disgusting...otherwise I kind of got used to it and I'd rather stop using the calendar, but as the article mentioned, there is room for improvement
I agree with almost the entire article, except for a few sentences:
"Light frosted glass for the bottom and top is a really bad idea" Why? They appeal to me much more than what was before. They didn't bother me even once. This is just the subjective opinion of the author.
"The address bar always only shows the domain instead of the whole address, confusing the user" I think the whole address wouldn't fit there anyway. Except it would take up 2-3 lines, which would be even worse. In addition, when I want to send an address to someone, I always copy it. So I have to tap on it anyway.
"The transparent version of the keyboard is probably the worst thing that Apple could come up with, the contrast problems multiply in this case." Absolutely. As I had absolutely no problem with the contrast on the old one, I don't have one on the new one either. I'm not blind and I can see when shift is on. And when not.
The other errors mentioned remain errors almost without discussion. Despite them, somehow 7 seems to me to be much more consistent than 6 ever was. I would never go back.
I had two questions yesterday, specifically about poorly visible letters on the keyboard and shift and what could be done with them...
I don't know, but if you want to discuss the contrast of white text on a semi-transparent background - then it's probably a discussion about nothing - you probably have no idea what the word contrast means….
Well, since the semi-transparent background darkens everything around by half, the white font is easy to read. Obviously, this is not the most ideal contrast, but I never once had the letter blend into the background. An incomparably bigger problem is the contrast in SpringBoard with a light background, that miserable shadow does not add much to the readability of the names of the application.
It's not worth arguing, but in my opinion there are MANY times more difficult to read places in iOS 7 than in iOS6. I don't deny that even in iOS 7 there will be places where the change was beneficial, but overall it can be seen that APPLE DID NOT PAY CLOSELY as much attention to graphics and typography as Jobs did 7 years ago when she was preparing the first iPHONE = that's absolutely obvious at first glance. Argumentation by using a "beautiful" font - the way APPLE massages us with it is demagoguery like a pig = simply the best font can do NOTHING by itself!!
APPLE makes us morons and that's what saddens me the most in all of this, if this continues - I'll probably leave APPLE, this year I wanted to buy several phones for close family members and I was looking forward to the 5C - in terms of HW, I have no problem with it and the price I would probably try, but the system is so NUDE that I won't go for it! I'd rather have a dozen NOKIA with widdles that at least don't fool us with religion and when I look at the price of those boxes - I think that leaving them 3 years ago was a possible mistake after all....
Friends, we forty-somethings have learned our lesson and waited for iOS 6. This time it paid off.
Not being able to “BEEP” the caller when the iPhone is locked… This really bothers me !!!
This can be done by double pressing the power button.
Yes, but it's pretty counterintuitive. It is perhaps the only phone that does not have a "red" call reject button. In addition, information about the call is only saved in the log and there is no notification on the locked screen or on the Phone icon. I hope for a quick fix.
I agree with the article. I've been with Apple since ip 3 and the longer I use ios7, the more and more bugs and things that bother me.
For example, the missing sound to unlock the phone. Why on earth did they put him away after so many years???
I don't know about you, but after ending the call, the parallax effect stops working and it only works again after turning the display off/on...
Problems with downloading apps and games from the apsstore, when the icon on the desktop displays terrible harakiri (first installation, then loading in 5 seconds for a 1,5 GB game, and then installation for 10 minutes when it catches up with data)
I'm definitely not used to this at Apple. Android is definitely not a threat to me, but Apple is spoiling its name and in the long term it can do a lot of damage :/
Let's hope for responsible updates with an imaginary sprinkling of ashes on your head
I'm a little skeptical about this, it seems that iOS 7 is a completely new kernel that has nothing to do with iOS 6, they just made it from scratch and a new team = I think everything is buried in it - what is being solved here... Maybe I'm wrong, but if not - then forget that iOS 7 will be OK soon, if it is done from 0, iOS 7 will reach iOS 6 debugging level in 1 year at the earliest…..
With these articles, it's always amazing to see who bothers what.. :) For example, I'm extremely happy with iOS 7. At first, I had quite mixed opinions, but after using it for a long time, I can't praise it enough. I don't even see the "problems" you write about as problems.. For me, the system is just great! Sure, it has its ups and downs, and I agree with you on some points, but that's the least of the cases...
Joe, I agree with you. We are confused, but Apple itself has spoiled us and the longer a person uses apple products, the more sensitive they are to these errors and imperfections and perceive them as a "problem". These are all small details, yes, but all in all, these little things make up a significant part of the feeling of the system, and that "feeling" is what Apple excelled at and what Sir Ive, in particular, is often criticized for.
Well, I wouldn't really call the inability to access my music library, etc., as a bug.
Let's not mince words. Fixing errors, bugs, patches, etc...
it's mostly stuck on my iPhone 4 S and besides, the new itunes doesn't support Wi XP :D
One bug that no one mentions much, but it bothers me every day (verified on 3 iP4S and one iP4): The locked screen turns off by itself after about 10 seconds, if you touch the display, you "reset" this interval. It's OK. But if you want to unlock the display after a notification (new message, missed call...), the interval is not reset. Then it happens that I read a message on the locked display for about 8 seconds, then I decide to unlock the display through that message, and just after entering the code appears (I haven't tried without the code), the display turns off and I have to wake it up again. It happens to me twice a day :(
I, for example, noticed that when you lock the iPhone, it makes the classic "locking" sound. On the contrary, it always made the typical "unlocking" sound when unlocking until iOS 6. However, in iOS 7 there is only a locking sound and no more unlocking sound. I wonder if this is intentional or another mistake.
I would also be interested (I wrote about it below) Anyone have a reason???
Not adapted to the performance of older devices (iPhone4, iPad2... but the update is also available for them), demanding on the battery, disgustingly pixelated and blurred icons, when closing the app with a gesture on the iPad. I'm sticking with iOS 6 for now.
If Apple had signed iOs 6, there would be no problem. Those who would be and are dissatisfied would downgrade, those who are satisfied would stay at 7. The whole science.
The method of deleting individual messages bothers me, it used to take three clicks, now it has to be clicked four times. And the bubble with the link itself cannot be deleted, it has to be bypassed via another message.
But it works. You have to hold down on the bubble and then you can delete the next one.
Try to have only a hyperlink in the bubble, nothing more.
Oh, sorry about that ;)
Holt choose another bubble. But of course it's not ideal.
I don't agree with iPhone 4, I have the opposite impression. The rest of the article covered most of the negatives, I wish the guys from Apple would read it too.
Great, finally an article that describes what iOS really brought and not those celebratory odes to minimalist minimalism. When I look, for example, at the podcast application. Beautiful design, I can immediately see that this is a chudlik and this is a non-chudlik.
Music player, albums... for example, I haven't figured out how to start music from that control center. Double-click to tip the call, if you didn't write it here, I normally have to look for instructions. Last time I was looking for where to turn on shuffle for music. Suddenly at the bottom I see a red unbounded text Do not repeat ... I understand, but simply replace the logically deducible 3x5mm icon known to everyone with the text Do not repeat ... every day I find more and more illogicality. I've already gotten used to the "foul word" of transparency, because turning it off is even more disgusting, but these things like the calendar... well, I've already written elsewhere.
Thanks for the article.
PS: has it happened to you that you turned on entering numbers by ear during a call? It's never happened to me before and now it's the third time after the update. I'm just asking, I don't understand how it's possible.
I have already solved the 3G switch for T-mobile. Libor Kubík should issue instructions here, what, why and how.
How did you solve 3G?
today they published instructions about it here on the website. so take a look at the article
They also forgot about people with poor eyesight (glasses and Jobs) without setting BOLT absolutely unusable in the whole system.
The calendar, the notification center and the description in the buttons instead of the black icon.
I'm somewhat satisfied with iOs7, but if there's a possibility, down - I'm going to do it right away.
I still miss the SWYPE keyboard..
Oh, and the “Swipe to Unlock” is genius. That got me :-) I wonder if they would claim me for a run over iPad ;-)
When sitting in the car, I was used to pressing the home button twice and the music started immediately with one click. Unfortunately that's not possible now, Ok I can use the pop-up control center from the lock screen and I'm there just as easily. However, the problem arises when thinking that any possible thief has access to turn on flight mode from a phone that is locked in this way, which is essentially key in case of loss or theft, and the Find my iPhone application makes sense in 2% of cases. :-(
Find my iPhone turns on temporarily, just like when you turn off location services.
The Control Center can be disabled on the locked screen, and the activation lock ensures that the phone will be of no use to a thief anyway, so I wouldn't be afraid of theft now.
So I don't really understand this article. Sorry, I have an iPhone 4 and I didn't notice any major differences. As for the calendar, didn't the author of the article think about the fact that they simply did it in a different way, so he can't somehow compare these two applications? It's always completely transparent, you just need to understand how to work with it, maybe not. My God, I can see that I have an event for that day, so I click on it and that day will be displayed, and I can perhaps wonder what events I have on that day, right? What kind of problem with entering the event do you mean? I hold my finger at the given time and assign the event, right? As for Safari, what binding of controls are you talking about, it always starts when I scroll down the page, it goes out when I swipe up. The whole article looks to me like it was written by someone who just installed ios7
I really noticed that they did it in a different way, but different doesn't mean better in this case. Previously, I could see all scheduled events right from the first screen (month overview). Now I have to tap on the day and then possibly scroll down because the screen only fits the first six hours. Although I can use the magnifying glass icon for the overall list, it never suited me, I just want to see the events for each day, quickly and clearly. The previous version of the calendar allowed this, the new one did not. Most third-party calendars fare significantly better.
As for driving, it works on the iPhone, not the iPad as mentioned in the article. I've had iOS 7 since the first beta, so I know the system inside out, which allows me to tell with hindsight what's wrong with the system.
You can see from people's reactions to iOS 7 that some features are really not intuitive and you have to discover them. Previously, when anyone picked up an iPad for the first time, they immediately knew what to do. Here, when unlocking, it is not very clear in which direction to drag on the maps, the map functions are searched for a long time (I really did not understand the small "i" for a long time), the spotlight opens unintuitively, the notification bar is illogically arranged.... the upgrade is a summary for the better, but it contains elements that are really difficult to understand
I would say that on newer devices such as ipad 4 or iphone 5 ios 7 works great, it is true that on iphone 4,4S it is not so smooth anymore but it is also an older device.
Bad music app (I search only by artist and when I start shuffle, it's for all songs and not for the album...) when playing music, when I lock the ip, the buttons don't respond at all...
yeah, that's right, the music player is totally weird. and I can't get it to play the way I want :) and the control icons from itunes are also different, so there's nothing to worry about.
what bothers me is that when playing music in the background (if I want to change, for example, the artist) I can't get to the music from multitasking like before
another is a new window in safari… used to be one click now two clicks I definitely use more than history
What used to work for me was that when I put the headphones in my iPhone and pressed the play button on them, the music started playing immediately. Now it works properly and it reacts after the fourth press and sometimes it doesn't work at all.
I'm really glad I'm not the only one with a TOTALLY NEGATIVE opinion of iOS 7. I fully identify with the author, the interesting thing is that in contrast to the claims of APPLE and some commenters - that it's just a matter of getting used to it. It is now – 3 weeks after the release evident that getting used to it is getting tough…. I stuck with it and didn't upgrade and I'm really happy for "Scott's" iOS 6 - more than ever......
Agreement. I'm sorry for the same thing with Win 8 and their Metro: we are Apple (Microsoft) and we know what you will (must) like! Personally, I like the look of previous versions of iOS better, the design of the system seemed more "Apple" to me. It's certainly a matter of opinion, but the 7 looks papery and plastic to me - in other words: cheap... But I respect everyone's opinion, I don't have a patent on reason...
Exactly - so far, APPLE has always been the first to make a revolution, and MS just blindly kicked it. Now they turned it around a bit - first MS dialed their bans with a METER - and now APPLE, as if through a copier, has done it with a new GUI for mobile things and I'm literally dreading the moment when it fits on MAC.... In fact, I never dreamed that this could happen until recently! But the world is in …… so why not start cycling in development to nowhere right…? After all, it is nothing else - they added 10% new things and 50% functional ones totally after…. = now they have 2-3 years to do and what to massage people with... I can already hear the crap they will use to sell the repairs to people...
Personally, APPLE opened my eyes - the world is just exactly like that - we don't draw it either Skewmorphistically or Metrologically - we simply prefer not to - in reality it is just like that...
Jobs knew this and that's why he wanted to give people an illusion in his iOS. Well, at APPL they simply decided not to play for anything! It really hurts me personally - I quite like illusions... :-)
after the security update, SOMETIMES it happens to me that when I want to delete a reminder on the locked screen, the otherwise regular locked screen flashes, a black screen with an apple appears (as if some service was restarted after a crash?) and then it works as it should. the fact of the security of the update as it should be :( in addition, I am bothered by the inconsistency and illogicality of the tapping of the event itself. one swipes to the right, the other time to the left. and overall it works unintuitively, just like the confused snooze of the alarm clock on the locked screen. before that, all of iOS was so intuitive that it did exactly what the first person thought it would do. now it doesn't. in addition, in music playback, why did they cancel the icons for "shuffle" (random playback)???? now it looks different than in itunes and it's chaos. besides, colored red means on or off? I just don't like it at all. :(
and I will also add that I have problems with syncing the calendar to iCloud. it was running flawlessly before. now I write a note in the calendar and after half a day I find out that I simply don't have it in my Mac, so I'm afraid to use it and I write it here and there.
The current inscription means what the setting is. If "Don't Shuffle" is on the screen, the music is continuous.
your springboard resets. Hmm, that's a nice mistake :)
Notification center: For me personally – I don't have a problem, I don't use the Missed tab, I always click on the weather anyway.
Safari: Purely your personal opinion, I love its controls, and on the other hand I hate Chrome - I like how everything runs, even the blue color.
Animation: "Subjectively" I don't notice speed or, as you write, slowness on the iPhone 5S. When I unlock the screen with my fingerprint, I know in advance which icon I want to click, and if I click already during the unlock animation, the phone reacts and starts the app - so the animation doesn't actually delay at all, and it's "as if it wasn't". I don't have experience with the iPhone 4/4S, but I didn't have the problem on the 5 either.
Services: I don't notice any problem, maybe only the occasional syncing of the calendar with the Mac, but that works too.
And if you're bothered by off-center home screen icons, I recommend selling your iPhone :))
What bothers me the most is that it is not possible to switch back to ios6, because I actually have an IP4 and an iPad mini, and they have slowed down terribly. And the calendar is also inexhaustible. If only they gave the option to return at least on older devices...
I have ip4 and the speed is OK. but there are so many mistakes and illogic in the control, or safety omissions, that I would come back later.
YES-THROW EVERYTHING THEY HAVE ON THE SAFARI WITH A CONSCIOUSNESS!
GOLDEN IE!!!
What bothers me is that when someone calls me on my locked phone, I don't see the reject button at all, when I'm working on everything on the phone and someone calls me, I already have the hang up button there
Double-click the power button and it is rejected (it was also on previous versions of ios)
It was, but it worked much better. He clicked twice, the call stayed on the screen, and he was called with just a swipe. Now the call disappears, nothing remains on the screen and you have to go to the phone and call history and find the call there. It would piss me off if someone told you that it's stuck on iOS7 and that I'm the only one with a problem somewhere.
Jeez, it's like this every year and you bastards buy it the same way. I'll stay on the 6 with JB and I don't even want to see the new iOS!
Well, one more problem with the music. If I have an artist selected and I put shuffle next to the album image, I would expect the shuffle to apply only to that album... no, it applies to all the artist's tracks...
Does anyone know how to reduce (zoom out) the desktop wallpaper on the iPad?
I solved it by adding black stripes to the sides... I mean, the image has a resolution of 2448×2448... the zoom will continue, but zoom in so that I hide the black stripes... I did it on the ipad via the image size app
Manually adjusting the brightness makes the whole screen go dark and then the user adjusts something that gets brighter right after they adjust it... that's on the stick
What bothers me the most is that on the locked screen it is possible to accept a call by swiping the screen chaotically, which often happens to me when I take it out of my pocket and then I just look at the received call...before it was a strict swiping on the arrow...now it's not like that! And another problem, quite often I start beeping in the call because the on-screen keyboard starts (the moment the phone is on the ear it shouldn't happen... at least I didn't have a problem with it before...??? I don't know if this is progress? !?! :-(
I have the same problem, the proximity sensor in iOS 7 gets angry and you activate the keyboard with your ear.
JJ- unfortunately. I've activated the speakerphone with my ear several times or turned on the mute :(
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D iOS7 sucks so hard
Agreed, since the first beta version of iOS 7, the proximity sensor has been annoying. (iPhone5) Almost every time I turn on speakerphone after receiving a call.
I was waiting for the GM version to remove the bug. Here is version 7.0.2 and the problem is still there! I've never been a fan of the "this would never have happened under Steve Jobs" claim. Anyway, for this, Steve would definitely fire someone or let them work NONSTOP until the major problems are fixed.
I read on foreign discussions that turning off or restarting SIRI will help with the proximity sensor problem. It really helped.. They guys are really bugged.
I had to replace safari with chrome!!! It happened to me that when I put the phone to my ear, the caller started talking through the loud speaker, which is very annoying...
hmm, that happened to me too and I haven't updated yet….
the new iPhones are a weak upgrade, the new system has an inconsistent UI and functional hell - I will definitely stay with the iPhone 4S and iOS 6, let those who have the time and taste do the beta testing ;)
Am I the only one who is bothered by the unnecessarily complicated AIRPLAY function when playing images from an iPhone to an Apple TV? Previously, it was enough to click twice. Now it's 2 times!!!! Wasn't Steve the one to make it one click by any chance?
Oh my gosh, I was also looking for the airplay icon and it's nowhere to be found. So I had to open the control center, then airplay, and then select the display. Very practical and comfortable.
I also have a problem with overspinning the rotation on the iPad. It's as if it's locked but it's not, so I have to restart the device and then everything works as it should, but it's very unpleasant. It happened to me only 2 times.
I don't want to offend anyone, but 90% of you deal with peaches. See author's note about the inconsistent icon color change.. ? Pardon. Even three years of beta testing wouldn't catch the flies that we, the users, catch. So be a little lenient and put out the fire after a few updates. Preferably until version 8.0. And don't be canned. Or chechačacs? Now let me eat it! haha :-)
I fully agree with what you wrote. They simply took something from people that everyone was used to for several years. The fact that there are clouds of better things is not written by anyone, everyone catches a few mistakes and condemns the whole system....
Agreement!
Satisfied iP4 user with iOS7.
As far as I know, the article also mentions how they complain abroad. Go through other people's forums. Toti has nothing to do with sniffing. It's just not good.
Being the generous person that I am, I will do all potential other readers a favor here and summarize this article for them. So:
"Everything is wrong."
You're welcome…
...
So this is called crowd hysteria...yes, iOS7 has flies, maybe more than in previous versions, but this here...it's really on the head :)
Someone still has shit. I think it's going well. I can't praise it enough. And it looks even better. My sister still had a six on her iPhone, and when I saw it after so long, it felt like it was from the last century.
I completely agree with you and I wouldn't change it. In addition, the article seems quite populist to me and it smells like an attempt to please the local skeptics.
In that case, Android has always seemed like science fiction to you :D
Control Center - the option to turn mobile data on and off is missing.
Four "clicks" to turn vibration on and off - again, it should be in the control center.
Reminders - horror and horror. Unintuitive, the calendar is missing, you can write a new one only by scrolling to the end of the list and starting to write at the end of the line!
In general, a big problem with synchronization. As I read the opinions, it does the same with iCloud. I use exchange and it is sometimes impossible to force, for example, comments to update.
Switching functions in the dialer by ear is also mentioned here several times.
Music Player - Chaos!
Gallery - chaos second. Clumsy and idiotically divided. In the shared section, there are separate photostreams, but the main photostream is in the albums!
Spotlight cannot be turned on from the home screen by pressing the home button.
I can't comment - thank goodness I've stuck with my favorite skeuomorphism on 6.1.3. I don't have a single reason to switch to 7, I will wait until the real necessity, when I simply have to... Otherwise, the way I look at it, a successful HW designer may not be equally successful in SW...
I miss the back gesture in Safari, which I was already looking for in 6 and I'm used to it from OSX, but I'll live with it. iOS7 does not.
I understand this article as such a thought and a subject for discussion. But I would comment on iOS 7 like this: Does it have bugs? - Yes, there is still a lot to debug and some things are not intuitive (calendar, for example) Did bcyh go back to iOS 6? - No, he didn't return, because despite the bugs, iOS7 is fresh in many things (the back gesture, especially in the Safari application on the iPhone, is simply excellent!
For the undecided, I would recommend waiting for the 7.x version, but even though I was a big skeptic and a lot of things still bother me today, overall I rate iOS7 as a successful update, which might be worth the extra half a year of debugging.
I don't know how recently, but my iphn4 can't answer incoming calls. When someone calls me and I'm at school and I want to "tap" the phone, I only appear on the screen to receive the call. I always have to assume that I double-click the power button. You may cancel the call, but it is not saved in the missed call log, so I quickly forget about it :(
I've always thought double-pressing the button isn't new…
Somehow you didn't understand what he was trying to say, but that's okay, one day you'll grow up and learn to read. pic
He understood. But placing a call on the touch screen was and is possible if it is not locked. If it's locked, it isn't, and never was.
I don't know about the protocol complaint.
With ios 6, it was difficult to cancel the call. If you haven't noticed, I don't know, I don't know
Write it down :)
Kubik Kubik, you probably haven't used iOS6 much.
I have 6 and I can put it down even when it's locked, just pick up the phone in the lower right corner ;)
Crew is right :), the point is that I will forget about the call. My friend, to whom I have free calls, often calls me, so I always hang up on her and call her back. With iOS 6, I could quickly call here by dragging the call in question. For 7, I have to go to the phone book, so I will dial it after 3-4 operations. Your double pressing does not seem like the right solution to me.... I believe that they just forgot about it, because it is quite an important matter to hang up the call. People used to know me, you don't even have to know that you can hang up by double-clicking the button, so they don't know how to hang up and I let it ring:D
You can use Remind instead of pressing the power button. It's also two taps, then the call jumps to your missed and a reminder is created.
I'm sticking with iOS 6 on the i5. It's not worth updating yet. Now it just takes up a lot of space on my phone...
that's interesting aunty When iOS7 came out, you could all rave about how great it is and the best version ever, and when someone complained about something, it was immediately the biggest bully who is never satisfied with anything.
But suddenly, as more and more people started to complain, you think it's not so great anymore, the system was made with a "hot needle", buy third-party applications to be able to work, etc., etc.
I agree…
finally an article based on reality...
I'm happy with iOS7. I like the look better than the six. Sure, I'm missing a few things there, like the option to reject a call on the display or the events of the day under the calendar. Inconsistent keyboard in individual applications. But my tribute is dominated by the things that, in my opinion, went well there. Whether it's Safari, weather, new bar, multitasking, lock screen, photo gallery or camera. Hopefully Apple will fix the errors that are pointed out soon. Today, despite some of the shortcomings, I definitely wouldn't want to go back to the six.
I would like to know from all of you how you rejected a call on iOS 6. There was also only a bar to accept a call. no reject button if vim.
It was, you sniffed up from the bottom as if and the button to reject the call appeared.
yes, I remember something already. ))
2x power button
Spotlight… :( I used a lot that in ios6 spotlight also searched on the internet or wikipedia. Example: you are planning a vacation in a pub, you slide your finger on Spotlight, country and you immediately search for info about the country. Now it is about 30 clicks longer…
I ONLY used Spotlight on Wikipedia... For me, this change has become a completely unnecessary matter :-/
ajdmaj: I have to agree here, although I often use SL for contacts, etc., but I also used it for searching the net and this function is missing here. I suppose it's a matter of one major update, but it would be worth writing a feedback to Apple. I guess I will when I have time.
After all, spotlight is activated by dragging the screen down, it is as accessible as before, only the gesture used to activate it has changed.
Try to read again what we talked about. Definitely not about the fact that SL is no longer in iOS 7.
Excellent article!
I am personally inclined to the fact that iOS7 is a step forward. There have always been mistakes and there will be, it just takes time... in half a year it will be tuned almost to perfection. It is always easier to look for negatives than positives... The bottom line is that there is something to build on.
The black edges when using the camera probably bother me the most. They are transparent when recording videos, on the 4S and when taking photos... but on my 5 I didn't find out why they are black???... (maybe because of the larger display compared to the 4S?) That transparency has something to do with it...
I was in a hurry to switch to iOS 7, I remember with a tear in my eye the beautifully readable contrast keyboard of iOS 6, some applications stopped working for me, for example ABContacts for sending mass SMS to groups, I bought another one (Group Text), I regret iTunes being cut off the most since Windows XP. If Apple thinks that I will be reinstalling the PC at work and at home, then I'm sure not, luckily I have at least ntb and Windows 7 on it. Anyway, they annoyed me and added unnecessary work, if I didn't upgrade, I would have saved a lot of time.
Excellent article!!! Indeed, the calendar, music player and notification center are quite a step backwards. What I still regret is not showing the rejected call as missed. This way, if I want to save the caller a few bucks, I have to honestly go through the contacts... it's no longer enough to just drag my finger through the lock screen and call... I still feel a little sorry for the music player, which nicely displayed the album stamp on the lock screen on the full screen... but that's about it opinion, as well as a whole new look. Personally, I liked the flood a lot more, I'm probably an old tinker. Positives are harder to find, but there are quite a few :)
iOS7 isn't bad, it's just a terrible and unfinished piece of work. Actually, I didn't write anything new that the article didn't already describe...
What annoys me the most is the notification center, my friend. I am seriously dissatisfied with this
Most importantly, the boys from Cupertino got a few extra days off for a great job. Jobs would flay them for this until it was his way. Until now, I've avoided the news like under Jobs and after him, but here it's really not possible anymore.
Ps: I'm enjoying iOS 6 to the fullest ;)
A strange thing happened to me today. I had an incoming call and instead of one big green answer button, there was a small green answer button and a red reject button. :-) (I have an iPhone 5) But when I tried again I saw one big green for reception again....
That's normal. When the screen is locked, there is one "slide to right" green button for receiving a call, and when it is unlocked, there are two touch buttons - red and green.
It also occurred to me then that this was it. :-)
I'm out of tune with music playback because I listen to spoken books and very often it happens that my iPhone 4S starts playing MP3s from the beginning instead of the point where I stopped listening.
Does anyone know where it can be set somehow or do I have to put up with it?
I apologize for the mistakes and typos
I have the same thing.. :( I listen to both audiobooks and DJ sets and every time I turn it off, it lasts for a minute, it starts from the beginning... Not to mention that you can't do anything with music on the iP4S from the lock screen.. what's even worse that even headphones with controls often don't help...
There's a lot, but somehow I'm not in the mood to deal with the messed up iOS7... I was very disappointed in it and I regret that I was in such a hurry with the update...
I wanted to write a comment, but Safari crashed 7 times while writing on iOS 4.. That's the most eloquent..
I would not be afraid to remind you of the new graphic form of iOS 7 and above all, the readability of various parts of the system, which has been solved so many times... In my opinion, there are MANY times more hard-to-read places in iOS 7 than in iOS6. I don't deny that even in iOS 7 there will be places where the change was beneficial, but overall it can be seen that APPLE DID NOT PAY ANY CLOSE to the same attention to graphics and typography as Jobs did 7 years ago when he was preparing the first iPHONE = that is absolutely obvious at first glance. Argumentation by using a "beautiful" font - the way APPLE massages us with it is demagoguery like a pig = simply the best font can do NOTHING by itself!!
APPLE makes us morons and that's what saddens me most about all of this, if this continues - I'll probably leave APPLE in time, this year I wanted to buy several phones for close family members and I was looking forward to the 5C - in terms of HW, I have no problem with it and I would probably try the price, but the system is so NAKED that I won't go for it! Even for myself, I was still determined to buy an iP5S last week, but it has already passed (I have an iP5). Sometime in the future, when the iP5 needs to be replaced or when APPLE stops supporting me with iOS 6 - then I'd rather have a dozen NOKIA with widles that at least don't fool us with "religion".
I dare to say that the iP5 with iOS 7 is no better than the NOKIA TOP models - in my opinion, there are a comparable number of bugs and idiots. APPLE is winning so far only thanks to the support of a huge number of applications, but everywhere I read that everyone stopped pedaling... and how only because of iOS 7 they had to buy a new calendar and something = it's only a matter of time before this advantage ceases to be a real advantage!
Well, when I look at the price of those NOKIA boxes (which APPLE copied completely in the 5S) - I think that leaving them 3 years ago was a possible mistake... from the first release of MeeGo - as it is today with iOS9).
I am correcting – APPLE from NOKIA “beat” the design of 5C not 5S of course = I apologize for the reprint…..
In the settings, you can set the font to be larger or bolder if you have a hard time seeing.
well, I'm in the same situation, I was looking forward to 5s like a small yard, but that's gone. Now I'm using 4 and somehow I'm surviving, but the simplicity and reliability of iOS 6 is gone, in iOS 7 I sometimes tap, the phone has slowed down and of course I'm looking for an alternative and that will be difficult...
For example, I don't understand why the iBooks application hasn't been updated yet. Still the same design and even an icon that doesn't fit into the new system..
For me, the biggest problem is probably the calendar. I actually stopped using the notification center because of its pointlessness. All the "improvements" of the music application are appalling (coverflow, repeat/shuffle and display of song lyrics, which probably not so many people use, but a step back compared to iOS6). In fact, if Apple offered me iOS6 with a control center, I'd be happy
I've noticed Facebook clipping here and there, but what I've noticed is that when I have the background parallax motion feature enabled, everything is fine, but after a call is made (ended), the background freezes and doesn't move. When I lock the phone again and then press the home button/power button, everything is fine again. Has it happened to anyone else? I have IOS 7.0.2
thanks for the article. Complete agreement. And thanks for the article. Steve is turning in his grave, that's probably the obvious thing. As a graphic designer, I'm sick of the new iOS, I didn't expect something so disgusting from Apple, and I've been working on Macs for the 17th year, and Apple has had an upward trend all this time. iOS7 graphics are like retarded idiots. It is not consistent, well-thought-out, precise, pleasant and certainly not sophisticated and graphically refined. With the OS7 version, everything goes downhill for me. iPhone 5, 5S, 5C brings almost nothing new. BTW: MacOS Mountain Lion is grey, boring. In the new Macs, you slowly cannot add RAM and replace the HD. I think someone is resting on their laurels... If this continues, I will jump to Android, because what it brings me for Gmail services in conjunction with Google apps on Drive, Safari+Mail can only dream of. PS: biggest WTF: Calendar, camera chopper, music player
Probably not much as a graphic designer. The fact that you write a graphic does not mean that your truth is correct. In iOS 6, you also couldn't edit it in the notification center and you had to go to the settings, so it hasn't changed that much for you in the new iOS. If you have to satisfy 6 people, you jam the phone so that even Temelín can't pick it up. I don't need or want any of the functions you mentioned in the notification center. It's like with WIN, you can also set a million functions, but then you still DON'T use them because they don't work as they should and you end up cursing again.
I would like to set the "icons" myself in the Notification Center. He threw out what I don't need and, on the contrary, added a "shortcut" of what I often use, but I have to scroll through the menu because of it. What I don't understand is: why is there: countdown, calculator and camera. I think most users have this on screen number 1 anyway, so I don't understand why it's here a second time, besides, it's an App and not "phone settings". It's a bit of a mix of pears and apples...
Because it is always accessible even when the application is running. Before, you had to close the application and then go to settings or the desktop, and now you pull up the Control Center from the bottom, set what you need and what the Control Center allows in a moment, and then continue what you were doing. What else could you wish for. And the fact that there are not things that you often use is not a measure of why you should put them there. Apple has much more data about how people use iOS, and in my opinion, it is based on that when adding news. You may know several people who have an iPhone, but they no longer use it 100% like you do. And that's it.
I strongly disagree with safari and the keyboard. I don't agree with the inconsistency either - older ios were much more inconsistent. Concretely, leave this to a graphic designer and not a musician, translator and a big lover of apple iron. Otherwise, I more or less agree with the rest.
I would also add this - as everyone says that if apple only added to the ios6 control center, it would give lip and the like, so you would babble again that it is not a revolution, etc. besides, it couldn't be because multitasking was pushed out from the bottom and so you would babble that it is inconsistent..
A treat for local boys and girls. My grandmother used to say "you can't teach an old ox new tricks". And it doesn't matter if it's an old person or a young old person. I'm sad about the rambling here. If you're lazy to learn and understand something new, I'll explain it to you and train you. For lazy people, one hour for 800 CZK plus shipping. It's much easier to live with it than to swear on the forums. Yeah, stupidity is endless. I'm just asking you, the disgruntled, not to post anymore, you've probably described all your anger enough, now try something positive if you're able to.
and Mr. Smart... I think that your malice and negation are pure... so be positive according to your last sentence and describe the positive side of ois7 and don't talk about remcal... remcal...
Mr. Jakub, iOS 7 works great on my iPhone 4. From what I read in the discussions here, I don't have such problems, I have nothing to complain about. After installing iOS 7, I deleted my iPhone, had it restored to factory settings, and then installed the applications I use, synchronized the data and set up all applications and iOS again, and the phone and iPad run like a Swiss watch and are as fast as the Shinkansen. Total satisfaction for me. I don't mind that there is something different somewhere, I'm used to learning and discovering new things all my life. On the contrary, I find it beneficial to discover something new and, in my opinion, very pleasant, such as the new iOS 7. He really wants to devote some time to it and not approach the news in advance with disdain and disgust. And now something specific. Using folders and managing them is a joy in itself, I also like the notification center, I used to not use it as much as I do today. The control center and closing apps is also beneficial and more usable for me. And finally, I like the way bookmarks on the iPhone are handled in Safari, plus a lot of little things that make me happy when I use it every day. Oh, and I'd also like to forget that automatic app updates are a great time-saving feature. Also, Find my Phone in case of theft is also handled better, etc., etc.
However, criticizing the dissatisfied places you in the paradoxical role of the dissatisfied. And just so you know, the design is bad. The only positive thing about it is that it looks easier, even though it isn't.
Flashlight in WHAT? let's face it, but why a calculator and even a minute minder! and the three-way camera is complete nonsense. I have an icon on my desktop and if I move it anywhere, I still have the option to launch the camera from the lock screen, which most of us probably do. It's also quite incomprehensible that I can't define what I want in WHAT, what do you say ;-) ps The naming of the months in the calendar: LED FEB WIRE OAK MAY OCTOBER OCTOBER SEP SEP OCTOBER PRESS PRO is also great.
Ever since I updated my iPad to IOS 7, my mail often looks like I never had mail there, but when I throw it out of multitasking and open it again, it has its email. Can someone tell me if it's IOS 7 or my email?
You do not write which email, if it is a system or a separately purchased one. But in this case it's a good idea to turn to Macforum, the link is also here in the header of Jablíčkár, someone will definitely give you advice there.
I have no idea what anyone doesn't like? Oh well… The calendar is really downright useless… but it never worked for me and I've been using another app for years. I don't mind the weather... I've never really been interested in it, even though I know that someone has a terrible need to find out what the weather is like outside every now and then... I'm a little bothered by the keyboard... and the fact that I don't have the option to write in Czech in some applications... instead of commas and brackets, I only see commas and period... but this happened to me already in iOS 6. but I think it wasn't always like that.. So I have no idea if the error didn't get there with some update of the application in question.
I don't know how recently, but my email practically stopped working after I upgraded (iphone 4). As soon as I start working with the application (I want to clear my emails, update, etc.), the application freezes and stops for about a minute, then it comes back to life, and as soon as I start wanting something from it again, it gets stuck again. The main reason why I left Android was the excellent response of iOS. Unfortunately, Apple messed this up and turned my phone into an unusable chipping brick. In my opinion, Apple did this to get people to buy an iPhone 5, as there was no other rational reason to buy an i5 instead of an i4 until then.
I need to ask how to achieve the search on the page in safari. Resp..searching for a word or expression for everyone to understand - what ctrl+f is pressed on the computer. It used to be when I clicked on the search engine in the top right or anywhere else, it was just the search box on the top right of the tree line, now I can't find it anywhere.
Otherwise, in my opinion, the number seven would not be bad, but for example now my writing gets a bit stuck and sometimes even misses two characters, when I want to search with google there is the same field for the address and the search engine at the top, which would not matter if they did not prevent me from using characters that are only possible by holding down the button.
Safari is much more confusing and I would probably just return it to the 6 if possible.
I still forget the e-mail. Despite about three new emails, the mail icon at the bottom of the screen shows me 100 and then it drops to 88, I don't know what that means or counts but it's annoying too. I can't set the iPad to lock with a code, for example, only every hour, but a maximum of 15 minutes. Well, I would definitely remember...
Ps ´m - now I wrote "please" and you see, it was written Ps ´m, I write fast but I definitely won't miss letters, the keyboard can't keep up and I look like a moron.
Fuck me - now it didn't miss that interesting one. Please - finally, let me know how to search on the page in Safari or I'm going to freak out.
Otherwise, Youtube would need a search engine on some panel so that it is always there - not only when playing a video, so that I don't have to always search for a video and play it and then search. Video playback in the lower corner is not bad, but what is it for? Will I go through videos and post others? I would appreciate background playback.
The search appears when you download the video to the lower right corner, so a magnifying glass appears at the top and after clicking next to it, you can search, but the playing video will cover your keyboard. I'm talking about the app on the iPad on the phone I don't use Youtube.
Then it is that it is the Apple sheep itself :-). If something doesn't work as it should, I keep track of it.
Otherwise, I agree, upgrading my iPad is a big mistake (I'll hold out for a while, or I'll make an advisory deposit).
I would also like to add that the iPad 2 performs quite well ;-).
Of course, mistakes happen in every sphere, it takes time
I'm not going to be a tester for that money! I could have bought an Android.
If you were familiar with android, you wouldn't have such problems
Good joke :-D I have embarrassing unfinished problems with Androhnid from 1.1 to 4.1 (2.3 was probably the most finished).
I DO NOT INSTALL iOS 7 on iPhone 5. It seems to me that Apple's main motto acquires the same abstract dimension as the clarity, friendliness and, above all, the originality of this iOS design.
Many iOS 7 detractors apologize for being conservative. But this "trendy" design is far more conservative than the original version of the system from the first iPhone.
Frankly, it's very bad! Anyone who says otherwise is only saying it out of sympathy or condescension towards Apple as such. I'm not normally critical, but this crosses my line.
The purity of the design is certainly a big question, but why minimize something that has a function; in this case clarity and an almost intuitive overview for which I have always recommended Apple and I also use it. When I want to work, have fun, or rest, why the hell should I have to search for some ultra-lite fonts instead, often whole lines instead of a symbol or divert my thoughts to search for something even in such a basic menu as the control center? And general settings? Is that the morning paper? The calendar makes me want to draw even more lines with a marker to get the impression of an overview! ETC.
It is absolutely clear that the control environment was designed by someone who had enough respect from others and a lack of industry experience and skills of their own. Hardware and software are two different things. Probably like architecture and music.
hawk.
In my opinion, the design is the least problem ;-). Font sizes can be adjusted.
What bothers me much more is the overall unreliability of apps/services it has brought.
In particular, the iTunes Store is completely unusable (how many times I can't get into it).
Switching between apps quits every app for me. Previously only when necessary (just switching between 2 apps and copying the password and pasting it into the website is impossible!!) Dung…..
PS: I have an iPad 2 (which doesn't excuse anything when it ran fine on iOS6.
hmm, so finally we have a flashlight without a 3rd party application and a blacklist on the phone number. I don't mind other graphics and have a neutral attitude towards them. Safari looks weird, but I'll get used to it. SMS sync keeps missing. The speed on iPhone 4s is the same as iOS6.
But what bothers me the most is the new player, where audiobook playback is totally messed up. The chapter list is not displayed and the button on the headphones plays random music instead of listening to a book. He often forgets where he left off in playback and skips 5 chapters back.
iOS 6 did that to me too, but in general, Apple has a problem with spoken word
On my iPhone 5, iOS 7 definitely looks better than the previous iOS 6. It's even faster. I also don't like a few things about it, but overall it's definitely better and I wouldn't change.
Hello, I have an iPhone 5 version 7.0.2. in Czech, but the days on the opening screen are in English, can you advise? Thanks.
iOS7 is a disaster. The icons are terrible. Controls as well. Safari, Calendar and Reminders are appalling in terms of control and design...I don't understand how Apple could release something like this...what I absolutely hate is setting the clock and appointment dates by scrolling...I thought it would be the first thing they removed...:(((
iOS7 is a huge disappointment for me. The graphics are bland, confused, often I can't even answer a call, there's only an accept button, the calendar is completely in the bag. I would prefer to go back, shame on Apple
What bothers me the most is that the system is unstable. It cuts hard and has dropped me several times. This has not happened to me in all 6 iOS versions..
Apple was interesting with its stability and functionality. Now it tries to be interesting with design, but it has buried functionality and stability.. :(
After installing IOS 7.0.2, I have a huge problem with my iPhone 4, the phone is switched on, the signal is fine and it keeps saying that it is unavailable, I can't get a call, the sms is sometimes delayed by 2 hours, it's just terrible, otherwise I like iOS 7 I don't even think my iPhone 4 is slowing down, these problems mentioned above are totally ruining the use of the device, does anyone have the same problem?
The whole of iOS 7 is a piece of crap that shouldn't have gotten into heavy traffic at all. I feel like nothing is working properly in it. And I deal with it daily (not just me) across different devices. My calendars are constantly changing colors on their own, iMessages are getting angry, some messages sometimes don't even get to some devices for no apparent reason, all kinds of notifications are showing / not showing reliably, even the music player shows a song playing that it doesn't play at all (it plays a completely different one), the keyboard it's inconsistent and has problems with "ú", the whole thing is unstable and unreliable. That it looks the way it does is a matter of opinion, I don't see it as a step forward and I think the older design was better, but that it's unreliable, problematic and users have no chance to do anything with it and whatever to call is a big trouble and shame. Apple is no longer trusted, it is no longer a symbol of stability and reliability.
Totally agree. But what now? I hope that Apple hears these rumors enough and that it will hold its nose and stop making compromises. That it will close everything again and defuse it enough.
