When you have more apps that can fiton the fst home screen, i's time to organise them
by placing them into mutual category folders.
To do this, just place your finger on the app you's lke to move and hold it twill wiggle
while an’ appearsin the top left screen on each apo; this is Rearrange Mode. Dor't it
the because you will delete the app. Insteag, hold your finger on the apa you want
to move and drag it @ectly on top ofa similar app You woul Ke to Group It with. Now
release your finger and it should automatically combine the two apps as one folder
For example: Ifyou crag Twitter on top of Facebook, a'Social Networking’ category
folder wil be created because
they are both regarded as social
networking apos. When you'e
done, press the main button on
‘your IOS and your changes will
be saved.
You can follow sult by dragging
‘music apps in one folder, finance
‘apps in another and so on. Soon,
youll have one home screen
full of category folders which
house apps inside, instead
cof having to scrol through 10
screens of unorganised apps.
Youtl ask yourself why dicn't
you make handy, time-seving
folders sooner.
Categorise your screens
The Android platform allows its users to doa lat afthings to their
home screens. You can add widgets, shortcuts, folders, apps;
the organising possialities can geta ittle overwhelming

productivity
Create folders
“Touch the Apos icon (lower-

Locate the frst app you want
to put into a folder andi touch

screen, Now touch and drag
cther apps into that falcer to
‘add them. Rename the folder
by holding then double-
tapping the tte,
Keep your most-used apps (ike Gmail, Facebook, Google Maps,
‘etc sitting on your default home screen. But arganise your other
home screens by category. For example, hove a music screen,
another for musie, productivity, social networking, health, and so
‘on. Your music screen can have shortcuts to apps like Pandare
and widgets to change tracks, so you know to go to that screen,
{or allofyour music needs.
‘Add Widgets

of Apps
Apps are continuing to soar to greater heights as
creative ideas for convenience, productivity and
entertainment never cease.
‘any person walking on this earth knew what the next big thing for apps was,
they would develop the idea in a heartbeat. But the reality is that nobody can
put their finger on what would do well or what's 8 great concept. There's no
crystal ball pointing o such success.
The only apparent trend is that apps that generally fila gap inthe market,
think outside the box, promote convenience, provide unique entertainment or
streamline everyday tasks are winners.
