Hi Jessica, I'm running IOS 8.0.2 on an iphone 6. I have to reboot the thing every second day to get an alright experience. There are sometimes up to 1.5 second lags between interface groups when I run my finger across the screen, such as when fingering from normal apps to dock apps, and a whole list of other stuff that blocks you from doing what you are meant to do.
I know it would be hard to switch overall to another platform, learning curve and the rest, but this is getting a bit too much. I've been testing pre releases since lion and sent numerous bug reports and feature requests but at this point, I have a life and career, hobbies and community I prefffer interacting with, rather than hearing a voice all day long. So I become a normal user who expects things to just work, for the ridiculous money I spend on their hardware. Wasn't this apple's forté? That things just work? Anyway, I like the yosemite experience way better, and have no complaints I can currently see.
