I decided to write a post about a few iPhone/iPad tips and tricks that you might not know if you just got an iPhone or iPad or if you aren’t very iSavvy.  I have  4 tips/tricks listed below that can make the iPhone and iPad experience even better.

(The pictures show an iPhone, but all tips/tricks can be used for the iPad too)

Take a Screenshot

This is a very useful feature that I use a lot and most people don’t even know it exists.  In order to take a screen shot, press the Lock Button and the Home Button at the same time.  The screen will flash white, and a screenshot will be saved to your photos folder.

Scroll to Top, Quickly

Another feature that I use a lot lets you scroll to the top of any page in an instant without having to manually swipe all the way back to the top. So if you venture to the bottom of a very long web page, all you have do is tap on the status bar at the top of the screen and you will be taken back to the top. (try it now if you’re reading this on an iPhone or iPad)

Share/Delete Mulitple Photos

Two questions I get asked a lot are, “How do I email a photo or multiple photos?” and “How do I delete multiple photos?” This is simple and very useful.

>First, click on your Photos icon
> Click on the arrow button in the top right of the screen
> Click the photos/videos you want to share or delete
> Then click “Share” in the bottom left if you want to Email or MMS the selected photos
> or click “Delete” in the bottom left if you want to delete the selected photos

If you are emailing photos, you can can select the size the photos should be emailed as.

*Note: You cannot select both photos and videos if you want to share them, videos have to be done 1 at a time. Also, you can only email up to 5 photos at a time.

Emoticons!

Who doesn’t like using emoticons in text messages? This is a feature that has a few more steps to it but once you have emoticons, you’ll have a lot more fun texting.

> First, download Emoji Free from the app store
> Open Emoji Free and follow the onscreen instructions.
> You can delete the Emoji Free app and emoticons will remain on your iPhone/iPad.

I’m almost to 10,000 views!

I have had this site up and running for about a year and a half and i’m close to hitting 10,000 views thanks to my family, friends, random people who stumble upon my site and all you people who are actually looking for Kris Aquino.

10,000 views isn’t really much to brag about in the internet world seeing as I have over 108,000 views on YouTube, but for a pointless and without a focus blog…i’ll take it!

Thanks for all the views and maybe someday i’ll start posting interesting stuff!

My blog is powered by the Standard Theme and it’s been a great theme to work with.

It’s very simple and clean and now until February 15th you can get it for 20% off and you will also receive a free Tron theme.  If you use wordpress then you’ll be happy with the Standard Theme because it’s highly customizable and the support forums are some of the best I’ve ever been a part of.

Boxed In

Boxed In is a puzzle game in which you use your finger to control a little robot through each stage. The robot must move boxes and make paths to navigate throughout the stages.  You can only push boxes, not pull and you must work around obstacles.  Farther along in the game, you can actually activate forcefields allowing you to pass through them and progress.  This is a great puzzle game and there is even a Boxed In 2 out now.  With nearly 28,000 5 Star ratings, i’m not alone in thinking this is a great puzzle game.

Words with Friends

Words with Friends isn’t really a puzzle game in the same sense as the previous games but still stretches your mind.  You also get to interact with your closest friends and family on a daily basis and at your own pace.  The game is Scrabble between two players, you and a friend, and you play at your own pace which can mean you play a word once every few minutes or once every few days.  Just be careful starting several games at once, it can get a little overwhelming at times.

Price: Free with ads or $1 for ad-free version

Train Yard

Train Yard is a unique puzzle game where you run a train yard.  Your objective is to get the trains in their correct stations.  Sounds easy but mix in several different colored trains and color changing stations and you might have a train wreck!  This is a great puzzle game and you will find yourself addicted after just a few minutes of playing.  Also, once you beat the last level, secret levels open up so you can enjoy the game even more.

Trace

This puzzle game is one of the original iPhone games and you won’t hear to many people talking about it these days but it was one of my favorite games since I first bought an iPhone.  The title basically says it all, you trace with your finger across the screen trying to get the character from point A to point B, of course there are obstacles along the way.  There are even different worlds throughout the game such as a water world where you will sink to the bottom of the screen and a space level where the lack of gravity will make you soar to the top of the screen.  I might just like this game so much because it was one of the first true puzzle games for the iPhone but I really did enjoy it and I wish they would make a sequel. And the best part, it’s FREE!

Angry Birds

If you haven’t heard of Angry Birds then you haven’t heard of the iPhone (or iPod Touch…or iPad).  This puzzle game uses highly unique physics throughout each level.  The premises of the game is that you are to destroy green pigs using some very angry birds.  You will utilize exploding birds, super fast birds and even boomerang birds.  There are also hidden treasures along the way.  You might also get a little frustrated along the way, cause I have, but it’s a lot of fun and very addicting.  Each major holiday, a new holiday version of Angry Birds is released.
