Hello Webrooters,

I'm not a happy camper with the iOS 8. The keyboard jumps around and puts curser below the reply box and now has a smaller areas to compose email. It does have pretty eye candy such as desktop photos. But pretty isn't cutting it. I tried 4 times this morning to sign into the Webroot Forum because the page kept jumping And the keyboard has a mind of it own. I'm not a fan of the Android type of predictions with this new keyboard and now it has privacy vulnerabilities.

Thanks Jasper for this article confirming all this for us Apple users...thinking they should update to the iOS 8 And as fast as IOS came out Apple had to quickly update to 8.2 to fix the issues in 8. I still feel this iOS has issues. People who want to update their iPad need to back it up encase you want to recover other operating system. Either way a backup should be first on the agenda!
