Hi Mary, I have only used my Mom's iPad a few times and one thing for sure is that with the larger screen there is a bit more wiggle room so to speak. Voiceover may syay you are on a folder, but I find that if I come from the right, for example, and move to the left that on an iPad I often have to keep on going left just a bit more after it says that it's on an app before it says "Opening".
Sherry, As for what you describe, the jumping to another page is probably because you aren't moving straight up or down but maybe also a bit sideways and then if you are already near an edge it would be easy for iOS to think you want to go to the next page. As for having to hurry because it says it's opening an existing folder, I think once again maybe you aren't holding down on the screen firm enough. I can just stop and hold when it says "Opening" and nothing happens for at least a 5 count, in fact I just tried it and after it says "Opening folder" it starts making that beep that you get when you move an app out of a folder when it says to hold for 5 seconds to close. It seems like if you don't continue to move for 5 seconds it will drop the app in the folder, but certainly not before.

But I have not noticed the problem you are referring to on my 6S. In fact, on my iPad mini, running the same version of iOS as my 6S, I wish they would speed up the folder opening. I can sit on a folder all night with an app seemingly, and the damned folder will not open to add the app. It's very strange, because I don't have that problem on the phone. This is one area where I wish Apple would take a page from Google's book. The Google now launcher on android has a beautiful way of moving apps, both on the same page and to another page. You have absolute control over where the app is going. It's wonderful. And I can't say that when comparing the two systems too often.
