Is there any way to stop it asking for a password in the App Store? It prompts me even for free apps.

You cant. Its for the better, if you lose your device or something else you will be stuck with a load of charges.

so, did the bluetooth gamepad support come in with this update?

The entire interface looks very girly and Lisa Frank-esque in terms of presentation. I think they should have given users a "dark theme" much like GAF does.

I really don't like how all of the albums are expanded under the selected artist. Fat chance, but anyone knows how to change this/turn it off?

I just got this update, and didn't even know about the moving background when my iPad is tilted.
I like it, but may not keep it for long.
Gonna explore more of this later.

Yes, though Apple don't appear to have licenced any hardware to use it yet.
Nimble Quest has been updated with support for controllers already.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
On a third gen iPad.
There is noticeable lag on some actions now.
Pressing the home button, it can take maybe a second for it to respond.
I've had typing lag and miss keys.
The animations seem less than perfectly smooth at times.
I am bringing up the 'shortcut' menu with volume controls etc. very often accidentally while scrolling.
Hmmm :/

You can invert the colors for a dark theme. Looks pretty cool.
General > Accessibility.
Sir, that has always been there. Nothing new.

Really? I could have sworn Facebook notifications remained there until I manually dismissed them.
Why not click restore and it will clean your phone to factory and install the legit iOS 7 and you can restore your backup.
Do you have a Mac?
Yeah, my battery is getting sucked away too. It's weird.

Yeah. But I'm at work on a Windows PC at the moment.
Can you go back to an earlier version of iOS? With a dev account even? I just don't like how this feels at all, and feel > look. Performance degradation on the most fundamental things like typing or Home screen is a big problem. Apple should get more heat for nerfing people's machines than they did for Maps.

Used Instacast for a long time, switched to Downcast last year and haven't looked back since.
Did you find out this feature while you were using your Mac or when using your Windows PC?
I don't think so. The invert theme is okay for menus, but you are right it makes everything else kind of look bad.
I'm still pissed about the wallpaper resizing issues, even with parallax turned off.
You've checked the settings for each account individually in Notification Center settings?

I'm sure this has been answered, but what happened to all of my podcasts? I do not have the podcast app (thank god). Were they deleted?
I guess I might look into these insta/downcast apps you guys are talking about.
I was halfway through my Bombcast, man!

I suppose that means US accounts only. I'm in Europe but my account is American and iTunes radio works perfectly.

What were you using to listen to your podcasts before?
The feature is indeed new. Ios7 supports synced notifications across devices if the developer chooses.
Really loving iOS 7 so far. It looks really good and refreshing. I love iOS but I have always hated the design until this refresh. I also love how smooth and easy everything is. The bottom bar you can pull it is pretty damn great. I love how I can do everything really fast with just 1 hand.

Wow, iOS7 has really blown me away. I love that changing the wallpapers almost seems to change the entire "theme" of your phone (due to the transparency effects).
I can see how some might be annoyed by the extra animations, but I really enjoy them.
The only real gripe I have is the calendar app. Where's my month view??!?!?!? Perhaps I'll get used to it, but the problem is made worse by the fact that when scrolling between days there is a lag before the screen scrolls to show you the day's appointments. So if you're scrolling through days quickly, you might think there are no events but really the stupid phone just hasn't showed them yet.

I really don't like the Music app too much. It's bright and that's fine, but it feels a little scrunched when using a 3.5" iPhone. The scrubber is almost impossible to grab with my clumsy thumb, it's so thin. (Is Apple telling me to get a 5s? Well, keep them in stock before turning an important app into an advertisement for the new phone.) And it even needs a top-layered menu just to activate shuffle? Is there something wrong with icons in the Ive era, too?

The music app housed podcasts, as long as you didn't have the Podcasts app installed. I used and preferred it, but they took that option away in iOS 7. I downloaded the Podcasts app and so far, so good. Bonus: I no longer have to sync with iTunes to get new podcasts (I know, other apps have done this for a long time, but I'm an old fart).
Tap the month in the upper left corner.
Under notification center settings everything is on for the gmail app. In the gmail app itself both accounts are set to push primary emails.
Installed iOS 7 on my 4 overnight, so I got to wake up to a nice new OS this morning. I only just installed iOS 6 about two weeks ago, and I'm not really noticing any problems at all besides a couple of slowed transition animations. Seems to perform about the same for me as 6 did.
It did take me forever to free up the 2.9gb to install it over wifi last night, I have a 16gb phone that was filled with about 9.5gig of photos and video. I tried using my laptop and iTunes, but I could not get iTunes to update to 11.1 at all.

Updating now..
I hope this fixes broken Wi-Fi on my 4S. It's "the greyed-out problem".

You can tell Siri to turn stuff like wifi and Bluetooth off and on. Could you always do that? I never noticed.
Hmm. Haven't tried the Gmail app yet. Did it get an update?
Google has extended the deadline for killing activesync so I just added my gmail account in the normal mail.

I want to be able to select days and see the schedule without having to back out to the month screen every time. Plus the dots that indicate that events are present in month view no longer tell me which calendar they belong to.

No, that's new.
Actually it did get an update. Luckily it's my personal email, and my work email is still pushing. Still annoying though
I'm just glad it's not all my push. I was about to freak out.
