Apps with and without iOS 7 bugs

- Updated 21 Oct 2013 -

It's hard to resist upgrading to iOS 7, especially when you want to try your best to keep up with all the new apps and design trends happening in mobile, but sometimes it's good to show some reserve and not be caught out. With this in mind I've researched a short list of apps that I'd rather not live without.

Apps still suffering bugs

Comments on iTunes indicate that GoodReader would benefit from a second round of bug fixes for iOS 7 following their recent update (Sep 16, 2013).

iOS 7 ready apps

A new version of Procreate has been released to fix bugs. Kodiak for PHP and Kodiak for JavaScript have no reported bugs according to their developer and Textastic got in early and put their house in order well before iOS 7 was released, as did TouchDrawDoInk has confirmed (via Twitter) no current bugs have been reported or found.

iDesign has received iOS 7 bug fixes to backup and save functions.

Update: having now updated an iPad 3 to iOS 7, I've found no obvious bugs in iDraw and the developer has confirmed this to be the case via Twitter.

iOS 7 only apps

These apps, meanwhile, have already made the all out switch to iOS 7: ClearHuffPostCookEvernotePosePocket YogaDiptic PDQHotel TonightNYTimesPocket Casts

And in a surprise move Inkpad, which has languished without update for quite some time, has not only been released as an iOS 7 (only) update but the developer has also made the code open source on GitHub.

(Note: if your device cannot upgrade to iOS 7 then you will be able to download the last compatible version from the App Store.)

Conclusion

If you haven't already upgraded then I suggest you research your favourite apps before taking the leap. Look them up on Facebook, Twitter, the App Store and the web to make sure all is good to go.

If you've already upgraded to iOS 7 and an app you use has unresolved bugs please let me know in the comments below.
