Hi jordan, The folders are exactly aligned in the rows and columns. I find it much easier to move a folder next to an app I want to put in it then the other way around. If you move an app and you accidently let go in the wrong spot you may put it into another folder or create a new one. If you move a folder you can really go with the little beeps as to how many spots you moved it left, right, up or down. Hence if I have an app in the very right place in row 4 and I want to move that into a folder that sits in row 2 and column 2 (second from the left edge) then I move the folder into row 4 column 4 which means into the position the app is in, this will push the app into column 3 on row 4 which means it will be just to the left of the folder. I would simply double tap and hold the folder, then drag it straight right 2 beeps which means it's now in column 4 on row 2, then I drag it straight down 2 beeps. Now I look for the app to the left of the folder, I double tap and hold on it and drag it to the right just a bit until it says it's on the folder, then let go. Now I can drag the folder back to where I want it.
This primarily is only a matter of practice and as long as you have good special awareness and are able to drag your finger straight across a row or straight up or down you'll get better at it. What will make it more unpredictable is if you have problems with the directions, e.g. you think you are dragging your finger straight across row 2, for example, but in fact you are dragging it across and down or across and up.

A folder will hold twelve apps. Also, sometimes VO will simply tell you which row and column you're on, so be sure to note where the folder's coordinates are. VO will sound a series of tones when you're sitting on a folder. You can pause there until the folder opens.

Sometimes moving an app over next to a folder as an intermediate step helps. Also, folders only hold a certain amount of apps and once a folder is full, you can't move an app into it. You don't get a message to that fact; the move just won't take. > > On 04/09/2013 12:56 PM, Jordan Norregaard wrote: >> First, I must thank the many people who responded to my earlier >> questions!
