Now that iOS 8.2 is out should I download?

Ok so we know how BADLY 8.1s performance was but I'm still a 7.2.1 user and I haven't upgraded YET but now that I checked my iPad mini says that 8.2 has been released and it fixes everything 8.1 caused so I did some searching and I found nothing yet so I just wanna know upgrade to see what happens or leave it to good ol'7.2.1.

iPad 2, iOS 7.1.2

Ok, I'm a massive Aaple Fan, have, MacBook, 2 iPhones, iPad mini, let me just say right here right now...DO NOT UPDATE from 7.2,

my iPad mini, was 100% perfect, I did everything on it, right now even after 8.1, it's an absolute piece of rubbish,


here is a list of problems....

constent browser restarts and crashes, makes it unusable,I never ever even saw the statement.."there was a problem with this page now reloading",it's happening every time i use it.

video content either fails to load or run, or just crashes,

touch screen is is just non responsive most of the time now.


there are other problems to, but why I'm so p***** is that, I have spoken to apple support, and was no use whatsoever.

my problem really lies with the fact they have switched signing off to 7.2, I mean why would you even do that, it hurts nobody to leave that open, I actually would pay to go backs that's just how bad it is.

its basically turned my iPad from a 95% used machine in our house to a 20%,one, and every time now, I've stopped out of anger and frustration.


now before anyone asks, I've done everything possible, including 3 complete machine reinstalls, from fresh, even no back up So it's factory clean.


so I'm telling you now, and reading round the net, it's crap and has to many problems, but please why don't you let us go back to 7.2, it hurts no one.

i Want my iPad back to how it was.

ios 8.2 is good on my iPad air 2 no problems but I didn't experience any problems with 8.1.3 either this thing runs great I have noticed a bug in updating apps it will not let you but I've noticed it shows the update button for a split second and goes to open if you can catch it quick enough it will update but I'm not sure if Apple has caught that 🙂

But I do have one complaint I do not like the new user interface the apps are cartoony looking for instance the camera app is a cheesy camera but the older app looked like a real camera all the apps were even glossy but not anymore and the bottom apps no longer sit on a 3d bar it just has a solid background it looks like apple downgraded instead of upgrading the user interface apple claims they tried to simplify it but it looks childish and doesn't really make apple stand out

Now that iOS 8.2 is out should I download?
