iPad Gestures Tips

The iPad is full of little tricks you can do to navigate faster.
Here are a few of the gestures you can do to open apps, move between apps, or even close apps.
* make sure gestures are turned on Go to Settings/General/Multitasking Gestures (on), note make sure to turn this off if it interferes with apps.

Five-Finger Pinch = Close / Minimize an app
Put all 5 fingers on the screen and give the application a pinch.  This show bring you right back to your home screen.

Four-Finger Swipe Up = Showing the Task Bar
Just place your 4 fingers anywhere on the screen and swipe up.  You should now see the task bar and be able to close apps or adjust volume and brightness.

Four-Finger Swipe Left & Right = App Switching
Place your 4 fingers anywhere on the screen when you have an app running.  Swipe left to see the  previously opened app or right to go back to the more recently opened app.  This happes to be the one I use all the time.
