What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

"I use this OS on my macbook"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

I like the easy use of the OS, it makes my work more effective. Every new version is give a bit more options and features to the previous versions. This one improved the battery time and the overal stability. I like the splitview and the opntion to set the menubar to dark theme. I also like the continuity feature, what makes it possible to contineu a task on my iphone or ipad, like emails, texts, safari browsing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

I don't like that some of the professional apps are not avaible. And sometimes they remove small features during an update, what was in the previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"runs great on entry level Mac"
5/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

My laptop is late 2011, entry level and Yosemite runs great. It allows some of the continuity features and communicates well with my phone. Some features I can't go back from are the iCloud browser tabs and the messages, phone calls and alerts showing on both the computer and phone. This operating system runs great even though I haven't added more Ram or extra bells and whistles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Some features don't work on the older machines. While I get enough functionality out of it to make it worth while, some features such as Handoff don't work. Also the iCloud functions sometimes disconnect forcing a restart on both the computer and phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A better OS!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

It is free, easy to use and have a amazing interface. The user interface is perfectly designed give you new fresh feeling of apple OS X. The new photos is also better than the old iphoto or the Aperture. Personally I think that the highlight is the interface. The layout is much more easier to master than the pervious OS it is really a grate enhancement to your macbook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Although I really think Apple OS X Yosemite is a great OS, there are some minor issue. First of all Yosemite have some performance problems on the initial release, I am not sure have it be resolved yet or not. This will make your mac lag sometime you have to reboot your mac to resolve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenience of iOS in a full blown OS X"
4/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Yosemite runs faster on my older machines than any of my previous OS Xs, and it has added some features that help me from having to step away from my computer like being able to make and receive phone calls straight from my computer. Safari is faster and cleaner looking in Yosemite than it was in Mavericks, and it is a nice addition to my browser options alongside Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Many of my work applications took some time to be compatible with OS X Yosemite, so I could not upgrade immediately and had to work to get some of my applications to function normally. Yosemite is old enough now, however, that this should not be a problem for people looking to upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Much imptoved after update to Yosemite"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina that I recently updated to Yosemite. After the update the computer seems to run much faster and more efficiently. In addition, I have noticed a small increase in battery life. In addition, I frequently use the Apple calendar and have noticed there are several more additions and improvements that make it more functional. I also love the additional function of Maps.

"My wonderful version"
5/5
What do you like best about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Interface

The most obvious change, visually at least, is the new interface. Yosemite does to the Mac what iOS 7 did to the iPhone and iPad. Its user interface is flatter – though not flat, there are still drop shadows and other nods to the third dimension, it's just that now they exist for a purpose rather than being merely eye candy. No more glassy textures.

Finder

Not a huge amount has changed here, but there is one key addition: iCloud Drive. Your iCloud storage drive now shows up in the Finder and you can drag and drop files and folders to it just like any other location. It also displays the files you've opted to store there from apps like Pages, Numbers, and Text Edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Yosemite?

Dark Mode

Brand new in Yosemite is Dark Mode, which turns some aspects of the OS a much darker shade of grey, to make it more comfortable to use your Mac in dim lighting. These include the Finder menu bar, Dock, and application switcher. During the beta period some elements of Dark Mode, such as Finder menus, were poorly implemented, and it remains to be seen whether they have been fixed in time for the full release.
