iOS 8 adoption slows following broken updates

Apple has updated its App Store to show new statistics for iOS 8, its new mobile operating system. It's not looking good.
9to5Mac reports that iOS 8 adoption has only increased by 1% since the last time Apple published statistics on the operating system. To make things worse, the statistic that Apple published on its developer site excludes a large amount of users who are known to be slow in updating to the latest operating system.

Since September 21, the percentage of mobile devices visiting the App Store running iOS 8 has only changed from 46% to 47%.

The slow adoption of iOS 8 could be due to the broken update that Apple published on September 24. The iOS 8.0.1 update was meant to include improvements and fixes for the iPhone, but instead it stopped users of the new iPhone from making calls, and disabled the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. 

Have you updated yet? If so which device have you updated and what issues do you face?
