I wish i had never downloaded this. I don’t use a credit card with my apple id, so if i don’t have a gift card to use i usually just hit “none” for my payment info. Well, thanks to wonderful ol’ apple, that “none” option is no longer availible, for whatever freaking reason. I had just spent the rest of a gift card when i did the update and since that time when i tried to download free apps or do updates i get a notification telling me my payment method was declined, and when i try to remove the card it tells me to change my payment info. Screw you apple! I was only BEGINNING to like ios7!
I wonder if this will solve the problem some people have had when syncing iPhones to iTunes. iTunes hangs on “Waiting for files to copy”, and when you cancel the sync, much of your music is gone. It’s happened to me twice. Workarounds have left me with gigs of corrupted crap that I will only be able to get rid of if I completely reset my phone.

UGLY, UGLIER, UGLIEST. Total lack of design now. Ivy has undone years of design development. I’m going to switch to Android. God awful look just got worse. Who cares about speed if the interface is so ugly!
The iOS (7.1) interface has got worse again! What fuck!
