- Start date
Anyone else having problems with wifi? Have to restart my iPad 2, otherwise I can't surf on the Internet, Apple maps or App Store :/ it happens even if I change networks or go to flight mode. I formatted my iPad yesterday when I was having this trouble and it still hasn't been solved. Never had this with iOS 5.1

Cool. I would have lost that bet.
Yes, they haven't updated the app yet.

when you open the passbook app it links you to the app store page with compatible passbook apps
Not after installing Passbook apps. Now when I open up the app it only shows the Walgreens and Target Passbooks with no more link to the App Store.
Update: Problem is fixed now that I have my iPhone 5 all synced up. Only cost me $400 to fix this bug..
Yeah it feels like change just for the sake of it. Which is what i feel about the new app store redesign too, except for the fact i don't have to keep typing my password for updates.Not digging this dial pad.
It looks nothing like the rest of phone.

iOS6 |OT|: Some features get worse
Sort of disappointed in this update, some of it is nice but nothing I'm in love with.

When I click the app store link in passbook, i get the error: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" how do i get passbooks on my phone?
Turn off automatic time in the phone settings. Change the year to 2013. Then go to passbook and get whatever apps you want. Change your time back to automatic and everything should be fine now.
My problem now is I can't get back to the Passbook app store after installing a couple of Passbooks.

I don't love the look, but it's soooo much easier to see in the sun or while wearing sunglasses. There were times with the old black version when I couldn't even tell if the screen was on.

You may be right, I haven't installed a passbook app yet
I have no use for passbook. I never travel by plane.
Unless many companies start using it for their rewards cards, and gift cards I see no real value.
Isn't the time always on the top of the screen though?

Yup. I've had mines lock up multiple times now.Anyone else having trouble swiping through this card system. Sometimes it doesn't respond, lags, and outright crashes and closes. I think apple released an unfinished product.

I still don't get why we even have a weather app when it's a perfect sunny 73 degrees outside everyday 24/7 365

Sometimes I can't even load the purchases list. Nor can I look at more than 5 reviews
It's by design. You can't swipe again until the slide animation is over.
Yes. It's trash.

isn't it kinda ironic that the new phone has more screen real estate, yet the store shows less information in the space?
Haha. I was just thinking about this.
The way they updated the store seems counterintuitive to the iPhone 5. It's easier swiping up and down to scroll, than constantly swiping side to side and viewing the app information in a smaller box. I also take issue with how it's set up on the iPad. Rather than a full page of information, you get a box that pops up when you tap on an app.

Anybody else feel like their reception got better with iOS6? I couldn't hold a call in my apartment for shit before and now it's not perfect but it's definitely better.
Is the icon actually in fahrenheit in the US?

I'm in Seattle. This looks like a very nice app, but unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to use it as a replacement because 1) it can't find certain locations, like my university campus, and 2) it can't find the bus stop right next to me, so it's telling me to walk 9 miles. A shame, considering.
I have yet to find a single transit app that works well for Seattle. Google Maps always instantly finds locations and public transit routes, and can be used to open direction links from Safari. It also works when I'm in other countries, especially important since Seattle is only my current place of residence. If I'm ever on vacation anywhere as well, I know I can rely on Google Maps.
I usually tend to route my trip since there are sometimes buses I didn't know I could take to get to the same place, crucial if I had previously missed the bus right before. Google Maps is also the fastest and the most accessible app for me to use. I already have an app that lets me look at the bus schedules of nearby stops to see if a bus is on time or late, but I cannot use that to find my way if I'm not sure where I'm going. Nothing has beaten the route aggregation of Google Maps for me.

Sorry dudes, been banned for a week and I've been struggling to keep up with the current iOS6 maps situation.
So the current situation is that iOS6 got rid of the Google Maps and replaced it with Apples maps correct? Are they planning, or can you already download a separate Google Maps app to replace it with? This is kind of a big deal for me, because I hear the Apple Maps aren't too great (bad). I've owned a shitty Galaxy S1 and have been waiting for this Iphone5 so I can get rid of the android, but this is a big deal for me. Google Maps, or any map app is probably what I use my phone for the most (aside from texts/calls).

Thanks guys.
edit: I guess this answers my question?

I have to say, this is GENIUS on Google's part.
Either Apple rejects it, and gets even more of a backlash from users for not allowing Google Maps on the App Store, or it gets accepted and everyone just uses Google's App anyway. Win-win for googy.
