Just wondered if anyone had installed ios7 on their ipad, and what they thought of it. Different layout, not so sure I would like it.

MacWorld has a whole bunch of articles on other topics. Reading those is better than getting some random's opinion—IMO.0 -
Yep, on my gen.3 iPad. It seems to hammer the battery. 7.1 needed to iron out the glitches.0

Have it on my iPad3 and iPhone5
A few useful elements but really most were things that should have been there but were missing from the old versions (eg time each message was sent for iMessenger) and the control centre is useful
The phone is fine, iPad 3rd gen is a bit slow, can probably turn off some of the animations etc. Havent noticed any battery issues but dont use the iPad much these days.
New look generally is good but if you group apps it looks a bit messy0 -
I love it but the UI is drastically different.
You'd do well to try out a device with iOS on it in store before you go ahead, if you're not sure.What will your verse be?

You can only downgrade to iOS 6 while Apple is still signing the software, which won't be for very long at all....once they stop, you can't downgrade.What will your verse be?

It's full of bugs apparently and many users aren't happy they've downloaded it.
Apple don't allow you to downgrade however you can if you're quick see half way down this article... Here
The Apple Support Forum also doesn't allow you to give any advice on how to downgrade to iOS6 they remove your posts very quickly.0 -
A friend was excited to tell me he could now block numbers, much as he could in his old Nokia a decade ago. Seeing as apple use words like magical and revolutionary in their sales blurb, iOS7 seems to be at best rather underwhelming for most users.
Apparently you can make it look less of a dogs dinner by making it grey scale, not sure how true that is, but some people have said it is less offensive that way.
Maybe hold off before upversioning ('upgrading' seems to be overstating the case)0 -
Installed it pretty much the minute it released and have not had one issue. I like the updated design, much cleaner and modern looking. Its quite a big step, certainly as big as any android made in the four years I used it.0
