Not on this guy's device. I JUST updated to iOS 8, and it's been an absolute failure. My phone is near useless now. Crashes and hangs have become so prevalent that I actually avoid using my phone.

What device do you have?

Probably one of the ones Apple wants you to throw away after two years.

iPhone 5. Not the greatest, but still, it's redonk.

I had it on a 4s. It worked, but was a little wonky. Make sure you are on the latest, it got better. Then I got a the next gen phone.

I think 9 doesn't bring a lot of new features, more bug fixes and refinements. If 8 is that bad 9 might be worth a try after a couple revisions.

I'm on the latest 8, but it probably can't make anything worse to try 9 to see if it fixes anything.

Good luck. I was kinda mad at 8 on the 4s initially.. really took any snappy performance and pleasure out of the device. I'm hoping 9 is like the "snow leopard" of iOS releases, very stable and not a lot of flash.

odd - I've got ios8 on my 5 and no problems. Something odd up perhaps.
