Hi Scott

Yes, this was one I had difficulty learning too, but have got it now.  Flick
round the screen with your finger until you find the app that you know had
been open.  Once your finger lands on this, do a double tap as though to
open it, but on the second tap, hold down your finger so that you don't
actually open it.  What happens is that it says something like "editing
apps", and the little sound accompanying VoiceOver makes a slightly
different noise.  When you next do the usual double tap as if to open it, it
will actually close it, and thus delete it from the App Switcher.

I hope this helps, but if you need more assistance, shout!


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

        Hi, here is how to close an app.  You can usually stop the app from
playing from within the app itself but here is how to shut one down
completely.

        1.  Press the home button twice quickly.
        2.  Find any app and double tap and hold, meaning hold on the second
tap until you hear a sound and the phrase editing apps.
        3.  Now find the app you want to close and double tap as normal,
this will close it.

        Notes:
        There are many apps in the app switcher, not all of them are open,
mixed in are your recently used apps.

                Hi,
                 
                How does one for instance shut down an app playing away in
the background, like a radio station, a podcast etc?  I'm having difficulty
and having to shut down and restart, any help please?
                 
                thanks,
