    I'm not impressed with it, all it seems to have is a change to the visual appearance and some new sounds for tones. Doesn't seem to run any faster/smoother than before

    So far i'm liking the quick access to the flashlight, brightness, bluetooth etc. It's does look much cleaner overall.

    I am a fan of the ease of access to the common apps. I am constantly turning off my background apps and I like the full screen interface for switching.

    Icons look childish.

    Double tap your circular button at the bottom of your phone from the home screen and it will bring up recent things you've looked at Internet, tapatalk, text msgs, etc...

    Swipe the app up when browsing through the open apps.

    I installed it yesterday on both phone and iPad and so far I really like it. The interface is much cleaner/sleaker than before. I think they could've done a little better job with some of the icons but all in all I dig it.

    Things I'm liking so far.

    - Swipe down from any screen to search
    - Full page app switching (as already discussed)
    - Ability to block callers per contact. Comes in handy for telemarketers and people who are generally annoying
    - Rapid photo shooting by holding the shutting button down
    - Quick access to flashlight, bluetooth, camera, etc in the Control Center (as mentioned by Fitz)
    - Swipe left to go back a page when browsing in Safari

    Two thumbs up from this guy.

    Got it on the iPad and so far I like it. I think I'm going to go ahead and install it on the phone tonight.

    I got an email from scoutlook documenting problems and basically warning about downloading until apple had worked the bugs out
