Hi Eleanor,
Yes, this does seem to work, but I think it’s difficult to do with double tapping. It seems to work for me if I split tap since I can do this much faster. Just put one finger on the Featured or Top Charts tab, then hold it still and tap 10 times with another finger. You could even use a finger on one hand to put on the tab and a finger of the other hand to do the tapping.

Here is how to clear the App Store cache Hi I was very interested to read this article, and was just wondering if anyone had tried to do this and actually got it to work?? It's just I've tried, and it might just be me doing something wrong, but it's not worked on any of my attempts. I'm particularly interested as I have my new IPad and want to keep it as uncluttered as possible. So if anyone knows if this works and can give me some detailed instructions on how to accomplish this (idiot-profof), I'd be really grateful. Alternatively, if anyone can recommend good apps or methods to help keep the IPad free from rubbish I'd also be interested. Thanks.

Apparently you can clear the cache in the App Store app (this works also in the Podcasts, iTunes and iBooks apps) by doing the following: 1. Open the App Store app 2. Put focus on the “Featured” or “Top Charts” tab in any of these apps. 3. Tap the tab 10 times quickly. For a sighted person the screen flickers after the tenth tap and this apparently clears the cache for the app and this in turn may (or may not) improve the performance of your phone. I find with Voiceover it is easiest to split tap, just find the tab and keep one finger on it, then use another finger to tap 10 times quickly. After the tenth tap you’ll hear the same little tone that you hear when you open an app and I guess this is the same as a sighted person seeing the screen flicker. Here is a link to an article on CultofMac about this: http://www.cultofmac.com/404462/app-store-app-acting-weird-try-this-quick-fix/ Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
