The five finger pinch to close an app on my iPad only works sometimes.
The Frequently Visited websites in Safari are annoying. Why can't they be turned off?
Can't get an image URL anymore (ios7 allowed you to copy an image and paste the URL into an address bar).
Slower and more jerky operation overall.
When trying to type something (like a reply on here) the keyboard sometimes only appears for a split second. Also, the box I'm typing in disappears off the top of the screen.
None of these were issues with ios7.
I have an iPad 4 and have the same. Turning the gestures on and off in settings seems to fix it for a while. I find the zooming in safari is horrible as well, if you zoom too far out you end up looking at all your open tabs in a kind of "expose" way like on OS X. I also had it go all glitchy when doing that and couldn't get the website to re-frame correctly so I could read it.The Frequently Visited websites in Safari are annoying.

Animations are visibly sluggish too and while i haven't had any problems with the keyboard, switching keyboards is dog slow and half the time, SwiftKey keyboard doesn't even appear leaving me with no input method!
They'll get it fixed in time I am sure, but it does appear to be somewhat half baked in places.
Safari crashes randomly now. I don't think I noticed it crash once in the previous year with iOS 7.
Try and select a sentence to copy and paste, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes when dragging the start or end along the screen will scroll upwards which then results in a load of text inadvertently selected, so need to start again.....
I've had my iPhone reboot itself for no obvious reason.
iOS 8 is still full of stupid bugs. None of these were problems with iOS 7.
As well as all the other issues mentioned above. Copy paste being the most annoying.
I'm also getting a strange problem with auto spell.
If you spell the last word in sentence ,incorrectly' but actually want it spelled like that acronym or a word not in the i dictionary so press the x then enter for next paragraph it turns pink again but no x you can't go forward or back by pressing on the screen you have to delete the word and start again. Annoying as fk.

I was using the slow mo video at the weekend and even though the picture looked the right way up the icons at the top were upside down ( timer icon, flash etc) so the videos in my photo library are upside down - had to re boot the phone. to operate the video you have to operate everything backwards!
There is defo something up with the auto rotate on IOS8

My phone's been going nuts since Wednesday of last week. It just does random things when I touch the screen. It can take 5 attempts just to get the pin code to 'take', and getting an app to open is very frustrating. It'll settle down after a few minutes, generally, but it it definitely not happy.
I did wonder if it was the screen itself failing, it's a non-genuine replacement, albeit a year old.
Keeping the screen squeaky clean helps a bit.
