Controlling the iPad User Interface

Controlled Scroll lets you scroll horizontally or vertically by sliding or drag-
ging your finger across the screen. To practice the Controlled Scroll and Quick
Scroll commands, try the following to acquaint you with the App Store, where you
can buy and download new apps for your iPad:
1. From the Home screen, tap App Store.
2. Tap the Featured icon at the bottom of the screen. The App Store appears,
as shown in Figure 4-1.
3. Near the bottom of the screen, slide your finger up and down the screen.
Notice that the screen scrolls up and down as your finger slides up and down
the screen. As soon as you lift your finger off the screen, it stops scrolling.
This is a Controlled Scroll.
4. Near the bottom (or top) of the screen, slide your finger up or down quickly,
and lift your finger off the screen in a quick flicking motion. Even after you lift
your finger off the screen, the screen should continue scrolling in the direc-
tion you flicked your finger. This is a Quick Scroll.
5. Repeat the previous step, except before the screen can stop scrolling, tap
your finger on the screen. This immediately stops the scrolling and is known
as a Quick Scroll Stop.
6. Press the Home button. The Home screen appears.
Since the iPad’s screen can’t display multiple, overlapping windows like an
ordinary computer screen, apps often display multiple windows as individual, side-
by-side panes. One pane is always visible, but other panes are tucked out of sight
to the left or right of the screen.
