Hi Christine,
I updated my wife’s iPod /Touch Fifth gen and the experience is not much different than it is omn my 5S. It might be a touch slower, but it’s nothing obvious at least not for me. As others reported you may occasionally deal with Voiceover restarting, but I don’t find it happens a lot. I would definitely wait and upgrade after tomorrow (give it a day or two especially if you are upgrading from 7 to 8 and if you can do it via iTunes then I recommend that. I also highly recommend you at least quit all apps from the app switcher and do a reboot right before doing the u pdate. Of course you should also do a sync and backup if you use iTunes or at least do an iCloud backup if you don’t. It is my understanding that tomorrow’s iOS 8.1 version will be updated from iOS 8.1 Beta 2 which developers had a chance to download for the last week or so. Let’s hope there will be a few more fixes for some of the Voiceover bugs. There are a few fixes in 8.1 Beta 2, but I won’t say more except that some of the major Voiceover issues still are a problem, but maybe the public release tomorrow addresses some of these.

Knowing what I know now, I'd recommend holding off on updating and see if the instability is resolved in the update.

I am apprehensive about doing the upgrade given all of the negative sounding results folks are having with various apps and features on this list. Have a nice afternoon! Chris Christine M.
