iPhone 5, iPad IV, iPad mini, all running iOS7. Casual observation shows that Jeppesen (whole App data) loaded more quickly than iOS6. A couple of Apps not updated to iOS7 yet, but otherwise, all good.

I had some issues with OzRunways on both the iPad2 and iPad mini, in flight planning I would select a point and select set origin of plan and it would crash every time. I could load an existing plan but not start a new one. In the end I deleted OzRunways completely, reloaded, re-downloaded all maps and now it is fine!

Haha Sunfish you're like my mother when I was a kid using 'cool' in a very derogatory sense.

"Do you think it's 'cool' to smoke?" (jokes on her, I knew it was)

My Jeppesen Flight Deck no longer updates the enroute weather, turbulence, winds aloft etc. This is coincident with installing OS7. To confirm that this is an OS7 problem can anyone running OS6 confirm that they can still update the weather and anyone running OS7 confirm that they cannot.

In typical fashion, just after I posted the above message, I tried again and all is working. It was still out of action for a few days and so I wonder if anyone else experienced this.

I have iphone 4 and IOS7 is crp. Noticeably slower and scrolling is now jerky - and functions such as airdrop don't work on iPhone 4. Would go back to IOS 5 if I could.

Crashes every time I select a point of origin for a flight plan. Everything else seems OK

Basically Apple have decided to animate every function and icon on the phone to make it "cool". However coolness is a relevant to a tool like a phone as it is to a wood saw.

If Apple continues down the "coolness" road then they will become irrelevant very fast.
Isn't 'cool' the market segment Apple has always pitched at? Hence the reason to always keep updating to the latest and greatest?

iOS 7.0.2
 
Well that wasn't long...
Apparently a fix to stop screen lock-bypass

Why not downgrade back to OS6

The files are available on the internet.

Download and "restore" back to this file

iOS 7 is fine and iOS 7.0.2 has been released.

It's a bit different and a little awkward the first day, but iOS 7 is a good improvement.

Running OS 7.0.2. No problems on an old, out of date, antiquated iPhone 4. Everything is working like it should. Battery life is good. All APPs working.

I cannot confirm the problems offered by others.

Thanks for the heads up Sunfish. I just bought another
iPad 2 and an iphone 3 (both costing next to nothing)
and was about to upgrade both their respective OS's
when I read your post.

Never had a problem with either Jepp TC and FD on
iPad2.

Problems with IOS 7
 
If you are having problems with IOS 7 especially typing try the following go to
Settings Icloud turn off Documents and Data
Then go to Settings General Accessibility turn increase contrast on

If all else fails reset all settings that seems to work

Good luck and yes IOS 7 is junk on older equipment

BRIGHTNESS - BRIGHTNESS - BRIGHTNESS
 
Turn it down as much as possible and your battery usage will improve very significantly.

The only downside is you won't be able to reheat soup on the back of the iPad anymore!

brightness ... Auto off & approx 1/3 bright ..... Done!

I have iphone 4 and it runs like crap now. Ran perfectly before.
Mrs has 4s and it seems to run fine with it.
Ipad2 runs like its from Microsoft now. Freezes crashes etc.

Basically since Steve Jobs passed away apple have lost the plot. Ios7 ultimately is complete and utter rubbish. I kind of feel sometimes like going in the apple store and hitting an apple employee over the head with my frozen screen ipad.
