MacDailyNews Take: iOS 7 is a year old and is on its ninth version, so, of course, the OS and third-party apps running on it will be more stable. Notwithstanding today’s iOS 8.0.1 fiasco, we expect Apple to get their act together starting with iOS 8.0.2 and quickly improve iOS 8 stability.
A note about our app: We are working on some new things under the hood in addition to iOS 8 compatibility. Thank you for your patience while we work to improve the stability of our app for iOS 8. More info: The MacDailyNews app will be updated for iOS 8 ASAP
