If you're using Audible, when listening to the book, swipe/flick right to the Sppeed button and double tap on it. If you then flick right two or three more times, there will be an adjustable slider that you can adjust by swiping up or down. I have mine set to triple speed for most books, unless

Re: more the 11 pages of apps on the iphone?

2012-08-31 Thread Wayne Merritt
Yes, I believe there can be more than 11 pages of apps. However, even if you have 17 pages, only 11 will show. I am still at 5 pages, because I use folders a lot in my grouping. I have heard of someone that has 20 pages though. Not sure if she uses folders, if not she might should consider it, :)

The speed adjustment is for all books. If I load a book that has a narator that speaks faster than normal then I may slow down the speed to double speed. I don't think triple speed is too fast though, but it may be because I listen to my screen reader at about 50 percent, and when I used the

The update released today in the US app store is supposed to fix crashing issues, according to the developer. I've also turned normalization off and have experienced less sluggishness. I won't say it is gone altogether, but definitely not nearly as much. I'm also able to use other apps while Muxic

Ideally, the music will already be on your iOS device, whether you imported it through iTunes or some other means. The excitement is that this app has all of your songs at the same volume and transitions smoothly between songs when listening. It also has some good sound if you like hearing bass,

I think the Alarmed app also does this repeating timer/reminder function. The free version may not have repeating reminders, but I'm pretty sure the paid version does. The paid version of Alarmed is $1.99 in the US app store. When you click on add a new reminder from the reminders tab, swipe down

I would think regarding upgrades, call your carrier and find out if you are eligible for one. Even if you are not, I would still update the current iPhone to iOS6 when it comes out. I plan on getting a new iPhone, but I'm not exactly sure when that will be. So I fully intend to update my current

If you try to bring up one station and another comes up in it's place, perhaps the station you were trying to listen to is no longer available through the app. From time to time, networks are added and taken away with little warning. Might I suggest ooTunes as a good backup. While it is more
