Re: Two thumbs WAY down on iOS 6...fixed stuff that wasn't broke Yeah this update is pretty buggy. I like to listen to podcasts and the new podcasts app that was upgraded for ios 6 is garbage. In ios 5 if the podcasts app didnt work i could just use itunes but you cant do that now. You are stuck with their crappy podcast app. Man apple is a bettr company than this!!!!! |

Somewhere there are apple haters loving all of this......
My gripes are relatively minor when it all boils down. I can't resist change forever, I'm learning things and it gets better. Maps, well......

Re: Two thumbs WAY down on iOS 6...fixed stuff that wasn't broke said by J E F F:I am...very..upset...about YouTube app being taken down. And Apple Maps is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen in my life. USELESS! Unless you have the iPhone 4S or better, and live in some big American city..and I mean big, like LA or Chicago or NY big, the map is HORRIBLE. Location services is very worse! HA! It's been off by about 1/2 mile the entire day. Wow, cause I'm not in some big American city. Google Carlisle, PA - I think there's about 40k people that live in the area. Hardly big by any means. And guess what? Both my iPad 2 and Iphone 4s have our new-ish development in them and the map is fine, puts me in my house when I'm at home.
Yes, the update has its issues but all in all it's decent and iOS has been working fine on the iPad and 4s. Coming from Android it's much better than that "system". |

The Google YouTube app has AirPlay on my iPhone, implemented the same way it was in the native app. What am I missing?

iOS 6 has been working great for me, it's a nice evolutionary upgrade. I like having Siri on my iPad and I don't care about the missing YouTube app.
Maps does need a lot of work. However the new maps app accurately shows my location. It also shows the recent street changes in my neighbourhood where Google still doesn't. I also like how fast they render and the smooth zooming in and out. I'm sure it will improve with time. |

The App Store reminds me a little of the xbox dashboard and the new Windows 8, what used to be called Metro, interface.
In all those cases I've found the horizontal panel scrolling a bit irritating and slower. It seems to be the way UI designers are going these days.
For some reason it doesn't bother me too much on Apple TV. |

As I mentioned earlier, it's too pretty for its own good. The functionality is gone from the store.
More importantly is this will HAMMER developers. Who is going to scroll through 1000 results 4 apps at a time? No one. They're going to go through the first few and pick something. Before devs had a better shot on being seen, at least on iPad where you were shown 12 apps per screen instead of just 4. |

Don't upgrade. Worst upgrade ever. I had issues upgrading before, but it was technical issues, mostly on Apple's server side. This upgrade pretty much makes anything less than an iPhone 5 useless.

For me it required mirroring so it wouldn't run at a native resolution in my ATV3s. They were scaled and looked really bad. I also got titlebars instead of true full screen. On my iPhone 4 it said this device can only play sound over airplay. Meanwhile the native app plays full screen airplay to my ATV3 no problem. |

said by darcilicious:For my iPad, I put an m.youtube.com Safari bookmark on my homescreen where I've logged in and have access to my subscriptions, new vids, etc. In full screen.
Let me ask you this.
Are you saying that when you watch a YouTube video in Safari "full screen", you don't see the tabs at the top? I ask because I find the tabs and stuff very annoying and distracting when watching a video.
BTW, I think I found a few more bugs. Whenever I open more then 9 tabs in Safari the keyboard pops up with no space bar. If the keyboard is already up it will refresh without the space bar.
If I am gong to post and erase a line of text in the text box the page jumps to the top of the page and stays there.
I think I'll stick with iOS 6 for now on my new iPad but I'm not happy with it. The App Store is jacked-up, clunky, ugly (IMO) and slow,... |

Don't upgrade. Worst upgrade ever. I had issues upgrading before, but it was technical issues, mostly on Apple's server side. This upgrade pretty much makes anything less than an iPhone 5 useless. iPhone4's barely get any new features in iOS6, so there's no real pressing need to upgrade, that's until apps start requiring it, which is still gonna be quite a while. Honestly I wonder why they even bothered supporting the 3GS with this.

Not sure if it's because I upgraded early or was just lucky but I have not had any problems with the App Store updating things, a few timeout but that was probably to be expected around upgrade time. The App Store interface has not seemed glacially slow on my iPhone 4S. I like that I can finally update apps without having to type my password, and it doesn't kick me out of the store when I click update all.
