iOS 7 | Flatness Is a Good Thing

Me too, I've bought Reeder 4 times on different platforms and have no issues with that. I'd buy it again and I'd even donate if I could, I use it constantly every day. Best value.

Hey just a heads up for people who use Instacast, I personally believe iCatcher is a much better app.
Eh.. I prefer the old sidebar to the nav bar at the bottom.
How come some apps use the old keyboard?
Do apps have to actually say to use the iOS 7 interface?
Overall, I'm thinking it looks GORGEOUS, but while the animations go a long way to making the device delightful to use, they are a slight hindrance to just being snappy.
The things I thought if care about, I don't and the things I thought wouldn't bother me do a little.
The parallax effect is less coll than I imagined.

I bought Reeder on Mac just a few days or so before they made it free. Soured me on the whole thing, I refuse to buy the new one on iPad just to make it work again. I know devs deserve to be paid for their updates once in a while, but should the old apps stop working completely after a while too when you've already bought them? That's what happened to Reeder.
You'll probably get used to it, it's still jarring for me at first but that's only because I'm not used to it. I much prefer being able to slide to go back now since that gesture has become second nature to me on iOS7.
That's Google's fault not the Reeder dev team. And I don't see the issue when they made all of them free for a really long time and probably lost a lot of potential income.

My fantasy changelog for 7.01:
- 'Missed' pane in Notification Center, because it was useless and confusing, has been replaced with a page for widgets, such as Weather icons, quick posting to Twitter and Facebook, and any widget the user chooses to activate through participating apps.

YES! I finally was able to activate. Right now my phone is restoring from an iOS6 backup. Looks like that yes, you can restore from a back up if it is a different iOS version.
Yes, since they took away my initial purchase.
I really miss the Notification Center Facebook and Twitter widgets. Really annoying that they removed them without any good reason.
No "they" didn't, sounds like a problem with the App Store.

It's Google's fault they didn't update an existing app?
It doesn't ask me anymore after I declined it twice. If it comes up again I will take a screen shot and post it here.
It's Google's fault for getting rid of Reader and causing the whole issue in the first place. I'm guessing the dev team is very small if not just one or two people and all their efforts were focused on getting Reeder 2 up and running.

I wish one of the control centre buttons was a home button. That would give my iPhone 4 some use.
Weird, could've swore I got the black keyboard in the App Store where it's predominantly white.
There's no real need to force quit apps in iOS, though. The switcher is for switching, and I don't think it's a step forward in that regard. Live preview panes have no real use other than "yep, that's the app alright" as far as I can tell. Maybe I'll get used to it, but so far all it's done is slow me down when I'm juggling a few apps. I'll take the functionality of more available icons any day.
Huh? You mean for people with a broken home button? There's already something like that in the Settings, it's been there for at least a few iterations of iOS now. General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch.
I doubt that, but I'll wait then.
Sure, but when certain apps actively remove features in an update that existed prior and puts it behind a paywall when I already paid $7 or whatever, I don't think I'm being cheap if I complain. (looking at you instacast) Regardless, Downcast to me as the superior product.
How would the devs of the app take away your purchase? All purchases and distribution are handled by the App Store.
Yuck, this version is gross. I wish I could roll back. Everything looks terrible. I wish they would have kept everything looking the same but added the new features.
Wait.....what?
Wait.....what?

Find My Friends. You turned it on.
That's the Find My Friends app right? Just uninstall it
It is listed. It's just not downloadable.

Through which app are you doing that?
It seems to pop up when prompting for iTunes account passwords too, every other time in the App Store it's white.Weird, could've swore I got the black keyboard in the App Store where it's predominantly white.
Still think the keyboard switch button on the right should just be the .com button. No need for two of them.

The problem with the .com button on the uni at in Safari was that it was taking up too much space and made the space button way too small. In the earliest beta I remember always pressing it by accident when searching.
True, although I tend to switch apps anyway. I don't do much switching through that route since my home screen is generally much faster.

Took me about 20+ tries to get the verify to kick in earlier this afternoon.
I think you're being a bit daft. They're bold because you have addresses associated with that contact.

That's just information from the address book. It's not showing you their current location.
Sweet, this did the trick for me too! Activating through iTunes still didn't work but after a hard reset I managed to activate it on the phone itself. Thanks for posting this.
Restored the backup and now I'm reinstalling apps and tweaking the small things.
They're addresses you have on that contact sheet, not tracking. Unless all of my friends in "Brisbane, Australia" have currently converged on exactly the same spot.
My 5 issues
1) random laggyness
2) my wallpapers are awk now and i cant change them without this scaling screwing w/ it
3) folders holding 2 less a page
4) awkward effect like the fade in/out on lock that just waste time
5)i think i have no ram
Opened safari and twitter had to do a full reboot (multiple times tried)
Ugh

They've all converged for piping bowls of ramen.
Swipe to the left. A "Delete" dialog will appear.
