Turning off "Frequent Locations" in the iOS privacy settings has consistently crashed the Settings app on both my iPad and iPhone, even after wiping both devices and reinstalling iOS 8 from scratch. Fortunately, only the app crashes, and the "off" setting appears to stick despite the crash.
Safari does seem to have multiple issues. Scrolling is slow on the iPad, it must often redraw images that you scroll back to, and when you click a link that opens a new window, the parent window will often be empty but will NOT automatically redraw.
I also noticed that the address bar minimizes when scrolling down a page, similar to the behavior on the iPhone. Not a big deal, but it's another iPhone behavior that I'm not sure is necessary (or helpful) on the iPad.
And just now, I've encountered some oddities with the cursor position while typing in the text entry box for this post.
iOS 7.1.2 was working very, very well, so these bugs sure do stand out, but they're far from significant. I suspect that Apple will start squashing them within the next couple of weeks.

I have experienced all of that...except the "frequent locations" bug...lots of issues.
via WiFi on my iPad.

Being on rural broadband with a data cap, I just LOVE it when they drop 3Gb updates on me.
Grandfathered on Verizon's unlimited plan for $25/mo here!
Have the droid phone set up as a wifi hotspot and I regularly see 20mbps down and 12 up at the house. I regularly go thru 30+ GB/mo.
It's sweet and I plan to do everything in my power not to lose it!
Got it, thanks!

I hate you. I'm one of the idiots who let that plan go figuring they'd cancel it anyway, just prior to the lawsuit that made them keep them.
Showed 1.6GB in iTunes when I let it handle the download from the MacBook Pro.
And you don't even have to root the phone anymore to turn it into a free wifi hotspot like you used to...Verizon lost that lawsuit too.
Until about a year ago, you had to pay Verizon an add'l $25 (or so) a month to use your phone as a hotspot. But, if you rooted the phone and changed one setting, the phone no longer checked to see if you had a "subscription" when you fired up the hotspot.
Not true, and hasn't been for years on VZ. I've been using all of the iOS devices as hotspots for so long now, without paying anything extra for doing so, I can't even remember how many years this hasn't been the case on VZ. It was true for a short time in the iPhone 2/3 era.
It was true on the Androids until the Family Share plan came into being a couple years ago. I've got the Verizon bills to prove t!

My iPhone 5 won't let me turn on the hotspot today, on vz
Someone I know told me that he had the unlimited Verizon plan but it wouldn't let him use his phone as a hotspot so he went to another plan. He said he wished he had known about rooting his phone at that time or he would have stayed with the unlimited plan. Apparently you were able to use the hotspot with a rooted phone. Anyway I think that was the gist of what he told me.Ohhhh wait. I wonder if the grandfathered unlimited plans block the hotspot to try to get you to upgrade?
Ohhhh wait. I wonder if the grandfathered unlimited plans block the hotspot to try to get you to upgrade?
The grandfathered unlimited plan doesn't allow the hotspot. I'm the the same boat. But you can enable hotspot on an unlimited plan by paying an extra $40/month. That gets you unlimited 4G LTE. I don't have it, but I think it's something I can turn on and off by the month as I need it, so I might be trying it in November.

Safari has locked up tight three times while posting a reply here since the upgrade. The only fix is a forced reboot of the iPad.
I'm not liking this **** at all. What a horribly buggy update.
Hopefully the patch will be released soon.
My phone, and my wife's, both droids, started allowing it about the first of this year. Verizon lost that lawsuit back in 2010 (I think) but kept playing the "pay us more" game anyway. Quality corporate ethics.
Edit: the FCC ruling prohibiting Verizon from charging extra and/or blocking aps was the summer of 2012.
My understanding is that the ruling only applied to new plans. Grandfathered plans are subject to the rules in force when you signed, which did not permit tethering.
Verizon's 4G LTE network is built on top of wireless bandwidth that Verizon bought from the government (specifically, the C Block of 700 MHz spectrum) a long time ago. That purchase came with a restriction called the Open Access Rule, which says anyone using it to provide service "shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network." That means as long as you're a paying customer and using their equipment, Verizon can't keep you from spreading the wireless love to your iPad, your laptop, or any other device you own.

I think most of the improvements are under the hood and will come into play with Yosemite and the implementation of extensions as app developers take advantage of them.
Not supposedly a big change to the UI, which in general us a good thing.
Translation: Apple has lost their innovative spark, so they opened the platform to others hoping they'll write interesting and useful things for them.
