iOS 8 has ruined my ipad2

I Have an ipad3 and its running like total crap now on ios 8...double pressing the home button with more than one app running starts voice over along with overall laggy performance to web pages not loading. Never should have updated. Apple should let us downgrade if we want. My iPad ran great on iOS 7 now it's worthless. If they think I'm going to purchase a shiny new iPad they can kiss my ***...im looking at Samsung tablets now.

HI Cedrick,

I was thinking the same thing but the restore worked well for me, too. Like someone else mentioned, it's not *quite* back to 100% but close enough that I have cancelled my plans to buy a different brand of tablet. I suggest you give the restore a try if you can. The Apple phone tech was terrific.

I have the exact same Issues and I will NEVER buy another Apple product again after this epic failure. My iPad is pretty much useless now.

After downloading 8.01.2 the button on my iPad has completely stopped functioning. How can I do anything at this point? I can't even go to another screen.

SO sorry you are having trouble. I know how you feel. Sounds like there are many of us dissatisfied. I certainly hope Apple reads these posts. Not sure why they offer updates without a warning about how they will probably ruin your computer. I love Apple products but I will NEVER do another update without investigating how it has worked out for others first. Then I will decide if it is worth the risk!

I purchased an IPad2 for use in aviation. I use it as a pilot. This new update has rendered my IPad2 to be a danger in flight. Apple should have posted a warning immediately regarding this issue. The iPad has been approved for aviation use. Many Pilots use iPads in flight. It is not a device just for a pleasure flight, but for commercial flights as well. i can longer trust my iPad 2 in flight. Having your iPad freeze up, lock, shut down, take forever to get established, only to repeat a problem in flight is not good. Then having to abandon it, fumble around for for paper charts, and A/FD and get reacclimated while flying a plane is very dangerous. I'm supposed to be flying the plane, not troubleshooting an iPad. Apple if you are reading this, you owe me a new iPad. The aviation community works really hard to support your product, and this is how you maintain that relationship. Shame on you!

I have exactly the same symptoms that you described. My iPad was working fine before the upgrade and I wish I could go back. Apple should not have made 8 available to older ipads until they checked it out completely.

i will not either
