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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexandra - Keinohrhasenfan Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 4:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: iOS 7, thoughts? 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.
