I updated our iPad 2 to ios 9 a few days ago. The one problem we're having, and it's a big one, is that Safari keeps crashing. Just checking my usual FT subscribed threads and forums this evening, I've gotten dumped out and had to log in somewhere between 9 and 12 times; I've lost count.
However my intermittent WiFi problem still exists on my iPhone 5s. The first time I turn on WiFi, it won't completely associate to my home AP. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to work.

Maybe try 9.0.2? It fixes a lot of problems. Much more than what Apple listed. However my intermittent WiFi problem still exists on my iPhone 5s. The first time I turn on WiFi, it won't completely associate to my home AP. I have to turn it off and on again to get it to work.
Don't noticed any difference between 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 with my running Apps, especially travel ones (dozens of Apps getting updated to catch up with 9) Counting my lucky stars on not having WiFi and I updated from 8.4.1 to 9.0 while traveling abroad and had time to backup before OTA.
Meanwhile, leaving some of extended family member's assorted devices on 7.x and 8.x - especially the various Pads, banking Apps might - however, soon be promptly for newer iOS to continue to run (however, we seldom use or run them on ours)

From: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/06/...-wifi-calling/
The FCC has now granted AT&T's wifi calling waiver request, allowing the carrier to proceed with its Wi-Fi calling launch plans. The waiver is available on the FCC website [PDF] and grants AT&T the right to delay implementing a teletypewriter (TTY) service for the deaf until December 31, 2017.
Though AT&T now has its waiver, the company has not yet provided a timeline on when its subscribers can expect to have access to Wi-Fi calling.

With the previous ios and my iphone6, I would take photos on the plane, with my headphones on and could listen to music as I shot still pics.
With ios 9, specifically 9.0.2, when I open the photos app, the music output is silenced, as I guess the app takes over the mic. But this is true even if I am shooting a still photo with live photos turned off.
Why do they have to do it that way? I guess I can shoot with camera+ and not have that problem. ugh.

Two pretty big issues I've noticed on my iPhone 6.
1) the update removed visual voicemail
2) I can no longer select multiple photos to attach to an MMS. I have to select them all individually.

Honestly, the biggest advantage to iOS 9 for me is Safari's support for content (ad) blockers. I spent a couple of bucks on Purify, and it's made my iPad-based FlyerTalk experience SO much better 
I had previously been using Chrome, but I don't think I'll be going back unless Google implements a similar capability.

Yes. The version of Safari supplied with iOS 9 is the first on iOS to support content-blocking add-ins. Other browsers may support ad blocking (Dolphin comes to mind), but I prefer Safari and Chrome. And until Chrome supports ad-blocking, Safari exclusively

No issues with visual voicemail, or MMS attachment.
Apple Pay is flakey though, and half of the time when I send an MMS through iMessage it gets sent as a text vs an iMessage message. Not sure if that is a T-Mobile quirk, or the device, or the software version.

Have a problem with posting here since the upgrade. If I tap too fast, it inserts extra characters.
And sometimes scrolling in mail in landscape, if I scroll down within a message, it goes to another message, as if I tapped a message lower down in the left column.
