Both my iPod touch 5 and iPad air seem to be working fine after the update. The only issue I've seen so far has been the SwiftKey keyboard takes a while to pop up

I read this like 3 times and I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. I'm sorry.
Ok so say I have a 'Moment' section in my Photos tab. that moment has 151 Photos. 1 of the photos has a heart outline. In every moment section on the top right is a 'Share' link. If you click it, you have 2 options. 'Share moment' or 'Share select Photos' or something similar to those wordings. If you click Share moment, it will not show 'SAVE (151) PHOTOS' at the bottom of the share screen. However if you have a 'Moment' section where none of the Photos have the favorite outline at the bottom of the photo, then it does show 'SAVE (151) PHOTOS' at the bottom.
So really if you have even a single 'Moment' photo which has a favorite outline and you want to get all those moment photos saved locally, you have to chose them all one by one and then save them.
Swype is a bit odd. If you type something it doesn't understand and it autocorrect, normally you go back and insist and it will stay. But Swype keeps changing it unless you force it by selecting your "wrong" spelling.
Secondly if you try and type apostrophes for quotes, it'll always push them back against the previous word as though you're trying to make a contraction. Same for colons which makes smileys difficult
Need to learn if there are any shortcuts too, like swiping up on . to make an apostrophe

I'm still having this weird random bug where I get locked out of Safari on my iPad once a day or maybe once every two days. I can't get it to replicate reliably, and I can't seem to fix it either by deleting all cookies and resetting Safari or by changing the cookies settings.
I think you would use Select in the top right (the top right of the screen, not the 'Share' button). If you then hit the 'select' option for a moment it would auto select all of those photos. You can then add them to an album and they are all saved locally.
Third parties have solved the "why can't I add an app to Control Center?" complaint by letting you add it to Notification Center, I see.
I seriously cannot believe how badly Apple shafts users of moderately old devices.
In this case, I'm using the latest generation iPod Touch. There is literally nothing faster that I could buy even if I wanted it. More than half of its 32GB storage is free.
Performance is utterly terrible after installing the update. Control Center on the lock screen takes at least 5-6 tries when previously it would always work on the first try. Apps load slower. Playback controls on Control Center are less responsive. It just feels like I swapped this iPod Touch for the previous-generation.
And yet....there's barely anything new that my iPod Touch can make use of. App extensions might be neat, but I'm not using any now, so they shouldn't be slowing down my device. Third-party keyboards are cool, but I have none installed, and I don't type on the device enough for it to really be necessary. Notification Center's updates are nice in concept, but again I'm not using any apps that make use of it yet so that doesn't excuse the slowdown.
How does this happen? And why does Apple always get away with it? Yuck.

Man the fact that the focus is off when SwiftKey keyboard comes up is really bothering me.

Good thing is that it can be as busy or minimal as you want it to be.

is this buggy as fuck for anyone else?
Things, especially the keyboard, are very laggy and bug out for me for no reason.

When scrollimg down through a thread I get this annoying white blink on both my ipad and phone. And I'm able to keep less tabs loaded in the background. A downgrade so far
Edit. And I can't stand that I have to manually close (with my left hand!) the bookmark bar on the ipad every time I open it

The worst part is when responding to threads on GAF mobile and iMessage when it does not focus the screen in the correct place.
This is definitely an annoyance but if that's the biggest issue you have then it doesn't sound too bad tbh

Instant hotspot doesn't seem to work for me between my iPad mini retina and my iPhone 5.
Does anyone know how this should work?? I can manually search for my hotspot in the WiFi network list after I enter my iPhone manually and enable personal hotspot.. But it doesn't appear in my instant hotspot list.
Do I need Bluetooth on or something?

Yeah, I haven't been facing any of these issues but my upgrade failed and I had to restore so maybe that helped

It completely throws off the flow of using my . phone. So no, it's actually quite bad.
Thankfully all you have to do is swipe down
it's not a huge bug in that it stops you from doing what you want to do, it's just a bit of a pain in the ass. I imagine it will get fixed pretty quick.The worst thing is hands down the new photo management.

I'd guess just keep trying? I updated my iPad, iPod Touch, and AppleTV with zero problems. Took a relatively short time with all three in my case, and I had far fewer problems than ever in the past.

I microwave steaks.
either this is a coincidence or maybe it's my ipad but my download speeds are just complete shit on the ipad air after upgrading to ios 8. In comparison, I am able to get my purchase speeds on my iphone and computer just fine. This is fucked up.
edit: power cycling the device seems to have worked, hopefully it does not happen again.

So transparency. The new control center transparency really bothers me. Not having that faint outline of my items behind the control center makes me want to not use it.
It pops up like a big grey block now. I remember that with iOS7, many people went and turned on the reduce contrast which gave them less transparency, but there seems to be no way to increase it.
still testing it out.

I have a conspiracy theory that verizon is throttling my fios connection to the apple update servers
It can be used, but not browsed directly on iOS. You can browse it on Mac and PC though, and the web (https://beta.icloud.com).

Holy shit, is anyone else's battery getting destroyed on the 5S? I'm only halfway through the day and I'm at below 50% on very moderate usage.
