    Installed it last night on my wife's iPad. Woke up this morning to finish the setup and I stopped at the passcode. I know I can change it later, but I'll let her take it from there :D Looks clean so far. As an amateur designer, I like the flat/minimalist design of iOS7. That's the trend now, but it also makes reading and visibility much better on high pixel count/small screen sizes.

    I installed it last night on my phone. Seems to be good so far. I wish my groups/folders didn't shrink (the larger groups require scrolling instead of all the icons showing up), but other than that it all looks good.

    I downloaded it this morning. Now I can't log in to any of my bank or charge accounts on line. Can't watch any video including BHOD. It sucks! I always thought the iPad was just an expensive game machine and Apple is proving it with this OS.

    Fitz, do you do tech support on the side by any chance?

    I'm afraid I haven't really been up to speed tech wise since I was in college.

    So I'm running it on both my iPad and iPhone now. I like it for the most part. There are a few little things I don't care for but overall I think Apple did pretty good.

    I have it on my iPad and I love it. It's really sleek and smooth and overall I'm impressed

    Most favorite part is sliding the lock screen, you can swipe anywhere and unlock your phone!!

    I've noticed a quicker drain of the battery on my 4s.

    I thought the battery on my 5 was bad out of the box. I haven't noticed it being any worse with the newest software.

    Same here. It's not terrible but definitely a step backwards. I would expect a 'fix' within a month or two.

    My bet is your battery is draining because you can't put your phones down. Lol

    I think they did a **** job updating the calendar App I use it a lot for work and it is not near as user friendly as it was before - hate it!

    Other than that it's cool.

    A colander is not a good place to have your phone anyway.
