iOS 9 Beta

Anyone else install the public beta? I did on my iPad (which I'm using to type this). I like the tweaks, especially the new keyboard and multitasking features. It seems pretty stable, but there definitely some more crashes/hangs than I'm used to.

i have it on my iPhone 6. Can't really tell too much difference... might have to give low power mode a whirl on a trip tomorrow... Font is different on the keyboard right? Looks like the task manager is a little different as well...

Seems stable enough, especially for a beta...

There are more differences on the iPad...though I've gone back to 8.4 now. I couldn't use the Economist app with iOS 9. The articles display without text - just photos in a sea of blank white space.

There's also some issues with Bluetooth LE. Otherwise is reasonably stable but noticeably less so than iOS 8

I've installed it on my ipad air 2. Love the side by side and P-N-P. Not too crazy about the new "San Francisco" font...it just seems weird. Maybe I'll get used to it.

However, as gfunk alluded to, some applications don't appear to be ready for it and crash immediately. Plex and Crossy Road are two that won't open at all. I use plex a lot, so I'm considering going back.
