Hi
I have recently got an iPad and an still working my way through all it's features. So far it's fantastic and really impressed.
However, I have a problem with the app store. In categories view, when you select any of the categories, I am am only bale to see the first page. I can't scroll through to any of the other apps within a category.
Is anyone else having this problem....or am I doing something wrong?
Welcome to the Forum. You'll find lots of iPad enthusiasts here who are willing - perhaps too willing! - to help with any problems you may have.
OK - the App Store certainly - surprisingly - has 'issues', but let's just check something out first. I'm sure you'll have realised this, so please don't be offended, but just in case.....
You move from page to page in the App Store not by the usual iPad 'flick' left or right gesture (why - no one knows!) but by using the little arrows that are quite easy to miss that appear to the right and left of the page that you're viewing.
If the App Store has more apps in the category you're looking at then these arrows are a sort of off-white colour, if there are no more apps, then they're a dimmed grey. However, the arrows don't become 'active' until all the information and icons about the current page have loaded so you can't move rapidly from page to page - you have to wait for that page to completely load.
As I said, you almost certainly knew all this - so accept my apologies if you did. The App Store, as I mentioned, does not receive universal praise from Forum members. One constant complaint is that, if say you're on the fifth or sixth page of the apps in the category that you're interested in and decide to investigate an app more thoroughly then decide to return to the search, it frequently takes you back to the first page of the apps and you have to work your way through all the app pages again - very frustrating.....
Anyway, please get back to us if the above suggestion is not the answer to your problem and we'll put our thinking caps on....
