General Do you Reduce Motion or not?

[LostSoul80]

Now that some time has passed after this "issue" emerged, do you find yourself enjoying the feature or not?

I like the motion effect; no issues for my vision.

Most of the time I also don't even realize; I need to actively looking for it in case I want to enjoy.

I had it activated but with ios 7.1 beta 2 the animations are so fast, that I disabled reduce motion.
iOS 7.1 solves all issues with animations.

I've reduced motion on my iPhone 4S to help conserve battery and improve performance though kept motion on my Touch 5 and iPad Mini 1.

 

[Prabas]

Not anymore with iOS 7.1, it's faster than having it on, at least for me.

 

[bandofbrothers]

Looking forward to iOS7.1.

 

[Dented]

Never had an issue with it, quite like the effect.

 

[ohbrilliance]

I find the zoom effect leaves me feeling slightly queasy, and is more jarring than the fade out It's a pity though that you can't configure the zoom and parallax independently.

 

[big samm]

I turned that off!! At first it was cool but quickly came annoying and was slowing things down... Now things are smooth and straightforward...

 

[Sital]

I don't get motion sickness, but have reduce motion on. I prefer the fade in animation. At first the regular zoom animation was cool, but after awhile, like parallax, it just seemed gimmicky.

 

[Badrottie]

I turned it off when I got an iOS 7.

Enabled it on my 5s. Much prefer the fade in effects.

Same here, for pretty much the same reasons (even using iOS 7.1 beta 2 where animations are smoother/faster).

 

[Ann P]

Have it on. Prefer the fade-in.

 

[Bawstun]

I use it, because I have an iP4 and it's much smoother with it on.

 

[dannyyankou]

Like others said, 7.1 fixes the animations. Say what you want about iOS 7, but Apple has been listening to a lot of users requests over the past couple months.

 

[macigo]

I don't use Reduce Motion because it makes the iPhone feel slower.

I was so happy when my friend showed me this option, mostly because of the annoying one where the icons fall into place once I unlock the phone. It's too slow of an animation. Everything seems quicker without all the overdone animations.

Toggling on the reduce motion option is akin to toggling on the I HATE APPLE button as far as I'm concerned. The option shouldn't be there. I don't like it when Apple loses confidence in their decisions and adds complicated options that are totally unnecessary. This would never have happened if SJ was still around.

I think it's a nice touch to be able toggle Reduce Motion on/off. Some days, I have it on (and I don't hate Apple), some days I have it off. Nothing complicated about it...

I don't get motion sickness, I simply want a more stable OS so i turned it off until 7.1 comes out.

Yeah, because Apple is incapable of making mistakes.

It's not like everything Jobs did worked or was a success. Having options does not equate to being complicated. Honestly, it's something Apple should have more of.

 

[caubeck]

I prefer simplicity. Give me the option to reduce other effects and I'll probably take them.

 

[attila]

I find the new animations slow, cheap, excessive and useless. Unfortunately, leaving this on still gives you slow fade animations. At least in 7.1 animations aren't slow anymore, but I might still have Reduce Motion turned on.

I'm looking forward to iOS7.9

 

[oplix]

of course. It should be the default setting. The option should be "Enhanced animations"
