I just had a crash with my iPhone 6 on iOS 8 where I had to restore it. The Lire app was sluggish, and I rebooted the phone. THen the Apple logo appeared for a few seconds, and it would then turn itself off.
Frequently it is as is the phone somehow resets itself. Somewhat often I get apps that will not open. This last iCloud restore for whatever reason did not restore my text messages which it has always done before, I may have to do the restore again. But they really should take a hard look at quality7 and not beocme like most tech companies that are happy to sell junk! I mean look at the disaster with iOS 8.0.1 making touch id & cellular service inoperative. I don't think I really have any choice I don't think the grass is greener with Android.
