Well, I will just say that there are bugs, some minor others major
depending on your usage scenarios, but otherwise very usable at least
for me. Just a disclaimer I am a tester.

Are you willing to comment as to whether version 8 is not very usable
with these bugs or not? I'm one of these who wants to install new
things asap regardless of the consequences. However, if it is so buggy
that it's hard to use then I won't. The problems which people
complained about last year didn't bother me to much if that says
anything.

A very positive article, what it unfortunately does not mention is that iOS
8 at this time (the Goldmaster or release version) has the most Voiceover
issues of any release and some of these are not just little things like
Voiceover saying "Screen Locked" twice which it did for a long time after
iOS 7 was released.
I have been running the iOS 8 Beta since June and as far as I can tell Apple
has listened to hardly any of the feedback and bug reports provided by blind
beta testers. There have been 5 Beta versions and now the Goldmaster and
almost all of the most serious and annoying bugs are still there. I hope
that they react faster once the public release happens next Wednesday and
hopefully blind people start flooding Apple Accessibility with emails and
phone calls about these issues.
I will post a list of the 5 or so bugs which bug me the most and which I
know other beta testers have reported as soon as the iOS 8 update comes out.
Anybody who wants to read about them just look for a post on Wednesday,
September 17 with subject "The top 5 most annoying bugs in iOS 8 with
Voiceover".
What bothers me is that a few of these issues are not specifically
accessibility related and they don't happen if Voiceover is not running but
as soon as Voiceover is on you suddenly are plagued by this and that.

Sieghard
