Multi-touch Gestures to Increase Your iPad Efficiency

By Jess On March 22, 2013 · Add Comment

So, you have an iPad. A rather plain, thin, rectangular apparatus with only a few buttons. No keyboard. No joystick. No remote control. Only a touchscreen. With this touchscreen, your fingers are in control of where you go on your iPad. Hopefully by now you have learned the basic single-finger movements: The tap, drag, flick, swipe. Did you know, however, that there are 4 and 5-finger movements that can save you time and increase your efficiency? They can also make you look pretty cool.

Alas, I cannot continue to boast as though this is something unique to just my children. It turns out everyone’s kid is a genius with the iPad. Who Knew?!?
