[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1616279, member: 61193"] Eventually I bit the bullet and allowed it to update at Home. Took most of the evening. Seems OK so far. I don't like the band at the bottom of the screen instead of the dock, but that was in iOS7 as well. Not tried the iCloud thing yet as that would prevent access from my old iPad. The flat icons look dull. I miss the skeumorphism of the old days :Smirk: Admittedly the picture is better, Kindle ebooks look clearer. Odd that so many of the apps seem to be using paler colours. Adding that to the thinner font used for the text, it all seems a bit faint. Is that also part of the new iOS? Not ideal for readability for the older eyes :) Incidentally, the app store still does not list any purchased apps, but when I try to install them, either they show 'install' rather than 'buy' or they say I have already purchased them when I attempt to purchase them again - so that is working adequately. Thanks for the help :D [/QUOTE]
