I LOVE the new control app at the bottom. So thankful for it, it's gonna get a ton of use.

I'm in Canada and don't feel like fucking with the DNS so no iRadio for me, but I don't use any third party e-radio services like Pandora as it is, so I doubt I'll miss it.

No sync / crash bugs for me so far. It hasn't crashed a single app however I am noticing a few small bugs here and there, none of which affect usability.

As far as the "flatness" goes, I like that it's more angular and I'm SO glad the skeumorphic bullshit is gone. Almost all the apps I download I do so for their minimalism and simplicity, so this works nicely. However I agree, waaaay too colourful. I think they should make a few colour themes and let users choose, other than inverting the colours to black and neon hell. Overall I give it a B minus. But it was definitely time for a new coat of paint.

Favourite feature thus far [besides the control panel screen] is putting a panorama as your lock screen picture. You can look around it like a 3D tour or a google map. SO FUN. So useless but just fucking neat.
