Thumbs down IOS 11

I won't be updating as they have dropped support for 32 bit apps. I've got loads on my ipad which i'm not prepared to lose.

Not impressed one little bit.

It's a press of a button. Any app that hasn't been updated has been dumped by the developer.

Yes they've been dropped from support doesn't mean you still don't use them

And it's just as easy to leave 32 bit support in the OS. Microsoft would cause global uproar if they stripped out 32 bit support from Windows. They don't complain it slows their OS down. Just lazy and unhelpfull from Apple.

Is there an app in particular? I don't mind helping you out by looking for an alternative.

Sorry, but I'm with Jack really.

Recently had to upgrade my computer to Windows 10, the laptop still happy with 8.1.

But NEITHER will run my printer I had in France, and no drivers were available. So it's been recycled and a hugely complicated new one bought in it's place...which, incidentally, connected first time to my laptop, but now completely refuses to work with it properly, only wanting to print from pdf, nothing else.

Devs were warned this day was coming years ago and have plenty of time to recompile, or convert. I believe Apple even provided free software for the conversion for any devs that wanted it. So don’t blame apple on this one.

Unless you you want to blame Apple for removing the headphone jack, then moan away


edit. Seems ios11 turns on auto brightness when you update. The setting has been moved from Display, to Accessability for anyone wanting to turn back off.

windows 8 was a pile of crap so doesn't surprise me things don't work right.

What printer is it, i bought a brother and it just plugged in, auto installed drives and works.

Thanks but no there aren't alternatives they are mainly multi player games I play with my kids. Looks like i'll have to use the ipad 2 for them if I decide to go to ios11 as that is still on ios8.

You will need to select the printer in the options everytime you print.
