I did it and they really were on the top this time. Txs

But I've been playing MOG and find that it's easier to double tap while its playing and then the task bar comes up and I just slide it over to controls..then go back to site. Don't think it's asleep tho when I'm at the site.

Best way for me was to play music and then turn off power button. Got black screen and music kept playing, but can't follow about turning them on or off with double tap😘

Running 56 apps really uses up your Battery!No problem if you don't mind being plugged into a short leash.

Have you closed completely the apps you're not using right now? From the home screen do the four finger swipe up or double press the home button to reveal your multi task bar. These are all the apps that you have opened at one time. Long press an app until it jiggles and a red minus sign will appear above it. Press the minus sign, this will close the app, not delete it, now press the home button to return to your screen. Apps left open will all use some ram, clearing them will help your iPad run more smoothly.

I only use the IPF App, if that is what you are using then when you reply use the advanced button and you'll get options to post a photo......

I see, bit does it have to be in photos first? Or could u use a URL?
Often wondered about the advanced option so never used it.lol

I thought pressing that red minus button deleted it, not just shut it down..?
So what about all the othe apps on the home screen..are they using up battery life too?
