Really??
Have to agree...it's unremarkable and the changes Apple have made to things like the photo stream are poor. I've lost 3 years of photos from my photo stream because Apple have decided to remove the one of the most used pieces of software.

I disagree. I think it's remarkable. Buggy still. But remarkable. the extra functionality they've given developers especially - we'll see more of that in the coming months.
What have they removed causing you to lose 3 years worth of photos?

A slight niggle - Where I have links to websites on my home page, some of the icons are, now, just white with geometric patterns. The links still work fine, but it's annoying. Anyone else had this problem?

I've got a Ipad Air and since IOS 8 safari keeps freezing with the little circle flashing at the top, I have reinstalled my wifi but it keeps happening, pc and phones work fine, any ideas?

I'm surprised constantly by people not backing up locally. Its foolhardy relying on 3rd party back ups for valuable material!

you have lost no photos, its down to the apps thinking the recent photos folder that was introduced in IOS8 is actually camera Roll which was removed. All your photos are still there, just hit the photos button in the photos app and you will see them all listed in date order.
Camera Roll is coming back in IOS 8.1 which is due out back end of this month so all your apps will be able to access all the photos again. Apple are now following the Android route of updates and will have at least 8.2 and 8.3 released before 9 is out. I presume this is for Apple Pay (out in ISO 8.1), the watch connection code (probably 8.2) and a general update (8.3)

Surely 'remarkable' is over egging it just a touch?

Ok maybe remarkable is a little too "Steve Jobs Keynote". But it really is a huge update.

I'm not sure whether I'm under utilising my phone but I've not noticed a huge difference

No you're probably not under utilising it at all. I haven't either. But the "under the hood" stuff which the devs have been given along with continuity, handoff, homekit, health and the future integration with the watch are all pretty huge. I think they made more changes behind the scenes in this release than any others. I guess time will tell with what the devs cook up. But it's pretty exciting.

So their customers are left with a 'buggy' OS that creates various glitches on their devices which didn't exist before. But at least their developers have lots of new bells and whistles to frig about with for when they devise the next disaster to roll out to everyone.
Gotta love apple.

Three of my most used apps now don't work. A bunch of pictures, possibly those that were shared between my ipod and ipad have disappeared from the photos app. The address bar minimises on safari (a feature the chrome app has had for a while). Other than that I haven't noticed a difference.
I am getting this when using NSC, half the page disappears when scrolling up and down the posts on a thread, it's much slower than before the update.
Logging in to NSC is also a chore now, I have to type my user name and password every time, before It automatically did it when I clicked the log in box, I have tried ticking the 'remember me ' box.
I don't seem to have any problems when using Twitter.
You should just be able to click on the 'Autofill password' which comes up just above the keypad when you go to log in. Not keen on all the other stuff and things definitely feel slower.
Thankyou, I have just tried this and it works, I started a thread yesterday asking about the log in and no one could help.
Thanks again.

version 0.x are ALWAYS buggy and crap. 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 all suffered from big problems. Give it a couple of months and all will be well!

Not read the thread, but I installed it on my iPad and it seems pretty awful to me. Facebook and Twitter keep crashing, the browser is incredibly slow and has funtionality that is useless - apart from the bookmark facility, that is a little better.
I would uninstall it, but I can't. Does not seem well tested at all - maybe they expect the customers to do their beta testing.
