I hate iOS7. Really, really hate it...
 

Some of the functionality is a mild upgrade I guess, but it looks just awful.

The icons are drawn from a palette of day-glo neon Muppet vomit. And when you turn on the phone the icons do this dizzying dance. Impossible for me to overstate how much I HATE THIS!

I think it was designed by Nikki Minaj...

apple could set up profiles for the look of the phone by age and you would have to tell them you are 22 to get it to look this way-

Agree, looks like something MS designed. But my phone is a lot faster so I just don't care.

Someone, Rick, Legion, maybe, suggested a dark plain background.

It does not make it all go away but helps big time.

I've not even upgraded to the last iOS 6 release - don't want pushed updates from anyone unless I ask for it.

Unfortunately, as geeky as I get I want my phone to be a good phone. The extra stuff is just extra, and while I use texts, the web, and a game or two on my phone, I could get by without. And the iPhone was (pre iOS 7 apparently) good at being just a phone.

I guess when I get an upgrade next year I'll have to just go all geek and get a Android device with good hackability and fix it up the way *I* want it to be. Something you can only do with Free software.

But but but, Apples the epitome of design....you guys just don't get it....

Has anyone found an app that lets you design your own app icons?? I can take it or leave it but it drives me crazy that some folks are bothered by them. They do look like they were designed by a bunch of hippies from the 60's or the Grateful Dead.

I like it on my iPad but I do not like it on my iPhone.

Not sure why...just the way it is.

HAHAHAHA! Was thinking the same thing...

I hate IOS 7 so bad I am considering returning my iphone 5s and going back to my 4s which is still on 6.2.3. LTE is not worth the hassle of IOS 7 - its like a bad cartoon. it horrid. I hate everything about it.

My 12 year old daughter loves it. Demographics, dude. Demographics.

Try "invert colors". I like it, makes me feel all kinky. I like the regular iOS 7 look okay too. It bugged me for a day and now I'm used to it.

I installed it, removed it, then a few days later went back to it. Doesn't bug me any more. I use Tempo instead of the calendar, nothing else really offends me. I hate skeumorphic design, but I think they swung too far in the other direction. I think it'll get a bit more refined down the road. Still nowhere as chaotic as Android.

Hoping for the ability to change themes in the next release - and hoping they have a 'classic theme' option. Flat and fluorescent just doesn't do it for me...

If you have the time to flesh that out I would be interested.

Android doesn't put many constraints on the developers, and as a result you get apps with UI elements all over the place. Much less consistency in usability from app to app.

I will leave Apple over this come renewal time in Jan. Nostatic, how do you go back? IOS7 has so screwed up my iTunes, it's ridiculous. That's what I use my phone for the most. I have to do a hard reboot several times a week now because the music controls become unresponsive and then the display all out of whack. I hate it with a passion and curse it every day. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, they'll be losing a ton of market share.

How to Downgrade from the iOS 7 Beta

fwiw I haven't had any problems with iTunes, and the BT in the car seems behaved now. This is with an iPhone 5.

I went through a deleted enough stuff from my 4S to do the update 2 days ago. Phone has crashed and rebooted 6 times since then. I plug the phone into my MacBook this morning and iTunes isn't happy because I need the new version of that. Okay, fine. Download the new iTunes and the MacBook isn't happy because I need the new OS. AWESOME!!!
