I'm on warchOS2. I can't downgrade the watch so stuck with iOS 9.
Otherwise, for me, I would've downgraded 2 months ago.
Got a tip for us?

I made the mistake of not backing up iOS 8 to my Mac before I updated. Rookie mistake.
Or even in a .4 release.Oh well... I guess that's it then, ios 9 will be just another ios 8. I doubt they can fix all the existing problems in the GM.
iOS 8 was one big bug. And 9 is shaping up pretty well to eclipse it by more and more bugs.
I backed up on 8.4 but then 8.4.1 came out so I don't believe I can downgrade and use that back up. If I'm incorrect can someone please let me know.
You certainly could use that backup. First dfu to 8.41 and then restore your 8.4 backup and done!
Keep in mind that OSX 10.11 El Capitan beta 7 was released at 1PM.
We will see what's going to happen, my opinion there won't be a beta 6 don't know why but that's my feelings about it.

Just for the record, you need to ARCHIVE the backup, too, if you want to restore it after retrograding to a prior iOS version.
Yeah, it's hard to see the point after 5. My thinking is the GM will iron out whatever's (and there can't be much) left.
I really can't believe they let us hang on Beta5 with these problems :-O
Beta 5 is awful on 5S so fingers crossed for another beta before GM
I found a thread with the same issues regarding ebooks and a few posts of others having the same issues. If you check your entire music library (6000 songs for me), it'll sync everything, then just as it finishes sync, the music app wipes all the music and you're presented with the "Never miss a beat" screen like you don't own any music.
IOS 9 Beta 5 is working really well for me on my 6plus. I would say much better than any IOS 8 versions that i have tried till date. Battery seems to be amazing even after an year with this phone.

i had ios 9 beta 5 on my iphone 6 and it has stellar performance far better than the public release of ios 8.
I would agree with both the above posts on performance! However though the pesky "Back to App Title" bug & a sudden hang under certain circumstances (which can be alleviated) still bother me quite a bit!
I did a restore and restored my iPhone 6 Plus backup on my iPhone 6. The performance is so much better on the iPhone 6! Wow.
Probably some app you are using is bugged with iOS 9, I did a clean install and the battery is way better than iOS 8 on my iPhone 6 Plus
Did you made a clean install? (restoring the i6 after installing ios 9 b5?)
Or you directly installed over ios 8?
I guess this will be another of Cook's failed releases as he puts greater emphasis on deadlines and gaudy design for the Chinese market, rather than quality. No wonder they already have 9.1 in sight.
What are you on about? With beta's Apple have no schedule to adhere to.
iOS 9 WILL be ready so stop complaining.
And of course they're working on 9.1. You think they simply work on one update? *sighs*
