ACtually, Dan, the information displayed when you choose an app does give you information about what the app is for or what it does. I suppose it's all a matter of interpretation, I just get tired of people asking what an app does when the explanation is readily available.

Hi Fred, I hate to be the stick in the mud here but this only helps find aps. I have used it a great deal and still do not know what most apps do. I do this to search for apps and then have tried looking under the info displayed when you double click on the app title and under reviews and under related. None of these tend to have anything that describes what the app actually does. If you have a way to find this description info I sure would like to hear of it. Thanks.

What does it do??? The answer is simple, in fact it is so simple it's a wonder you didn't think of it yourself??? Unlike the I-devices, there is a simple yet often-overlooked task which will easily bring you the information you crave. What is it you say, I can't wait, please, please, tell me. Why it's as simple as typing the name of the app in to the space marked, very clearly "SEARCH" I repeat "SEARCH", easily found Where??? Ah, yet another question and yet one which answer is not the commonly used phrase, "Over there", why it is, are you ready for this, are you sure you are ready? It is after all your waiting to find an answer which has iluded mankind for hmmm maybe 20 seconds or so, of course, in the app store. See that wasn't so difficult, now, here are the directions. Merely double-tap on the "app store" Icon on your i-Device, wait for it to open and then, then, look down at the bottom of the page which you will come to. There are five buttons labeled from left to right: "Featured", "top Charts" "genius" "search" and last but not least "updates". Now, all you have to do after tapping the "search" item, a new screen will appear in which you will be presented with an on-screen keyboard, or, you can use an external keyboard, either Braille or standard to gain the information you so badly crave. Then all you need do is enter the necessary information field using voice, keyboard bluetooth or keyboard on the phone and tap "search" and voila, the information appears. This feature can be used to find hidden apps like tap tap see, four square, or perhapse you want to look up 4square. Words like radio or music can present you with literally hundreds of functional applications. Perhapse you long for apps which might be of use to you tomorrow, Saturday, or maybe even next week. Be sure to keep this document in case you forget what to do, lets again, refresh, 1. Find app store on your i-device 2. Double tap to open this item. 3. find the WORD "SEARCH" near the bottom of the screen, double-tap on it at which point you will be presented with an on-screen keyboard or you can use an external one if you wish, 4. Type the name of what you are looking for or something like rpg's or text adventures or cooking or games 5. Again, double-tap the "search" button by using a keyboard to input your information your choice and off you go. I hope this has been helpful, compared to making use of some of the apps available for the iPhone this is truly a very easy task to accomplish. If you still do not feel you understand this task, let me know and I will indeed be glad to put together a podcast and if enough of you ask me too, I'll see about putting it up on "applevis", what is that, you ask, well, that's for another night. but that's another message. Later folks. Happy searching. Fred Olver Thanks to Ester and Jonathon for all of your previous posts teaching all of us what we need to know, I only hope I have come close in presenting the necessary information for those who are having difficulty accomplishing this task. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
