iOS 8
Wynnd:
I upgraded all my ios devices, ipad 2, iphone 4S, ipad mini, and outside of losing "Bad Piggies" game, I don't see any problem. The voice to text works so much better than before. My Son was pointing out that apps open slower, but if that's true you need a pretty good stop watch, 'cause I can't feel it. I'll be using my DL1608 with ios devices for a League of Women Voters panel discussion tonight. Don't know the topic, but they always apply to the current election and show both sides. (Assuming there are actually only two sides.) Like always when I make software changes, I will be bringing a backup mixer. (Alesis Multimix 16 firewire recording mixer that I've had for years.) But at this point, I don't see a reason to not upgrade. (MAKE A SERIOUS BACKUP FIRST! And protect it from being overwritten.) I fully expect Bad Piggies to be back in the near future. (Might just need to re-install it.)

Thanks Wynnd. That's exactly the kind of feedback I need.
I've got a relatively important gig this weekend, then nothing for 2 weeks so I reckon I'll take that opportunity to upgrade and test.
If things do go pear shaped I can use either my wife's, or daughters iPads as a last resort :)

You have access to other iPads, no panic then iBloke :)

G'day iBloke. Ask yourself a simple question, does iOS 8 bring anything new to the table for your gig? The answer is only uncertainty. Upgrade after the gig. My Audiotools is still broken under iOS 8, a good reason for me not to upgrade.

G'day matey
I do a lot of typing on my iPad and really dig the new predictive text thingy in iOS 8 on my iPhone. To me that's worth the upgrade.
But as you know I run 2 iPads at gigs. My old iPad 3 lives permanently in the DL and that's all it gets used for so I have zero need to update it.
My iPad mini gets used as the wireless remote at gigs. It's nice and light and easy to hold for duration of the gig.
But it's also the iPad I use for Everything else up to 10 hous a day. I'd love iOS 8 on it.
Cheers mate :)
