Well, there's two things I find so great about the App Switcher. The
first is that I can get to all of my apps without having to switch
pages. I really like not having to do a three finger swipe to get to
anything but the last four apps in my App Switcher.
The other thing I like is that I don't have to do a double tap and hold
to be able to start deleting apps. I can just do a three finger swipe up
or a flick up and then a double tap to remove an app from the App Switcher.
A third thing I like is that I hear the status as to whether an app is
running or not.

What is so great about the app switcher, for me the old way worked a lot
better. Then maybe it is because I don't swipe to every element on the
screen, only do that occasionally, for the most part my fingers know where
to go and that was certainly true in the older version.
My husband has not figured out the new app switcher yet, but he has an
excuse, he has been pretty ill and things that used to be easy for him to
understand are more difficult now.

Hello,
I like the new app switcher, the extra features of Siri and the control
center. I don't really appreciate the notification center. It looks rather
cluttered with these three buttons "today", "all" and "missed". Would be
nice if it was possible to disable these. Another thing that bothers me is
that no matter what I try I can't get the weather widget back into the
notification center. This was always a valuable piece of information to me.
The new voices of Siri in German are okay. The male one is rather good,
whereas the female one sounds awful. The German voice of VoiceOver has some
errors it didn't have in iOS 6. For example, it's not even able to say
"VoiceOver" or "app store" properly. This is ridiculous.
In general, the voices got worse, even when you're using the premium voices.
They have some crackling sounds and somehow I feel they were compressed.
Like an MP3 file that was compressed to a lower bitrate which sounds worse
but saves some memory. While the voices got worse, the audio quality still
sounds good. And this contrast is awful, especially when you're listening to
a podcast and a push notification is read meanwhile.
The contrast is especially frustrating when using Siri. Siri
almost
talks like a human, but when you have to listen to additional
information with VoiceOver, the contrast destroys all the good
user
experience. This used to be better on iOS 5 and 6 when
VoiceOver and
Siri sounded similar. This is so annoying that I don't
think
I'll use Siri that often.
Another thing that bothers me is the issue of focus loss within several
apps. It's especially frustrating in Twitter clients when you favorite a
tweet and go back to your timeline or RSS readers. Also the "read all"
gesture doesn't work on Feeddler. When you perform this gesture, VoiceOver
starts every now and then, and you will have to find your reading position
and perform the "read all" gesture again. So there's neither Twitter nor
reading RSS feeds for me since iOS 7.

So it's a week since iOS 7 was released to the public. What are your
thoughts so far? As for me it's very good and I like the new features,
such as Control Centre. However, while it is very usable on my iPhone 4,
it is sluggish, at least from a VoiceOver user's standpoint. But I know
it's going to run just fine on my upcoming iPhone 4s.
All comments welcome.
