Is dev beta 3 good enough?

[Populus]

Beta 3 has been 10x better than the first 1 beta from my own personal experience. Though I still get the odd random app crash. I’m using this as my daily driver now on my M2 iPad Pro 12.9. I’m loving the experience.

Thanks, finally someone that understands the point of the thread. Well, to be fair, @ocdeal @xenergie and @meDANOcine did understand my question as well.

This is my experience as well.

I have an iPad 9th gen.

B2 was not good and had to revert it.

B3 feels a lot better and will keep using it.

So far, all the 26 betas just feel so slow to me on the iPad 9th gen. Granted, I do find B3 more usable GUI-wise.

I'm definitely not installing the beta on my daily driver (or 1st tier backups) anytime soon.

I am running it on my iPad Pro 12.9” M1 with no major issues. It’s running quite smooth and snappy. I mainly use my iPad in place of my MacBook when visiting client offices or working from a cafe, so usage skews to email (Outlook and Apple Mail), iCloud (Files) and the MS office suite. Otherwise I’ll use it for light content consumption in the evenings - Apple Music, browsing via Safari, Reddit via Acorn, and maybe some TV watching through Jellyfin/Infuse. The only crashes I’ve had have been Acorn, which both occurred on beta 2. Nothing since installing beta 3.

I am running beta 3 on my 11" M4 iPad Pro. It's my main and only iPad and I use it a lot. Except for some minor annoyances here and there, it works pretty well.

I don't experience any major app crashes. The worst I can complain about is that sometimes some taps/clicks misbehave in Safari and I need to switch to another app and back to have it behave again. Also there may be some overlapping items (like, taking a screenshot and then the "done" checkbox button is hiding behind the tool palette) but really nothing that would prevent me from doing what I need to do.

I also had beta 2 installed but had to revert because I had a major FaceTime bug with it. Now I'd say it's really very usable if you can tolerate some little bugs.
