An independent review of ios8...
-
AARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH.
The more I use it, the more I hate it. The new keyboard. The keyboard seems to suffer from dyslexia, recommending words that don't even exist in any language I went to school to learn.
The GUI. double tapping the home button takes 3 seconds to load the list of open apps. Pressing it once seems ok. I've had to turn off animations because they lag more than arma 2. Now I've just got a fade in and out on apps. But the screen orientation animation struggles like getting a mattress up a staircase.
Safari, where do I start... The way the top bar minimises when you scroll down a page is infuriating. Hiding any open tabs. You have to scroll to the very top for it to appear again. Or tap it to bring it up. You can't close the only tab you have open without going into another menu next to the new tab button. And clicking an x about 4px by 4px.
Features I like. 3rd party keyboards. Yeah, that's about it. I'm going to give fleksy a try, hopefully it's better than this keyboard. Everything else is exactly the same as it is on ios7. Except the grievances above. Seems the usability guy was away on holiday while this was being designed. Bloody awful. Don't recommend. I'm sure I'll update this with more annoyances. Ipad 3 by the way. also apparently it's even worse on the 4s. Even though they state it works fine.
Discuss.

From one of my favourite movies.

Haven't seen that film, not sure why, looks good. Another issue is the composer completely vanishes when using chrome on ios8. That's a problem. This is what I'm looking at...
Hmm, clicking the upload button fixed it.
i don't even know what's going on.

NodeBB not compatible with iOS8 XD

ios8 not compatible with Apple products... grumblegrumble I have to type slower than usual, or it crashes Safari. That's a brilliant feature, gives me time to wonder life's wuestions*.
*(I purposefully left that in, I typed questions and it autocorrected to wuestions).

Have they finally managed to make their systems incompatible with their same-date software xD - - - - - - - -
For long we thought there wouldn't be any way to make apple hardware more incompatible with anything

Oh, and @a_5mith, you should watch Tron if only for Olivia Wilde
-
Should have gotten yourself one of these instead
-
May get one of those to replace my galaxy s4 which rarely works. Android tablets don't appeal to me though.
-
I'll test it out too.

Android FTW

The minute I have the money spare, I want the OnePlus One. It looks bloody incredible.

@a_5mith Really liking it so far after two weeks of owning it. Haven't gotten any invites to share yet or I'd send you one.

Sounds good, if you happen to get one and they don't expire, I'll happily accept one.
