How to Organize Apps on Your iPad
Apple owns the trademark to "There's an app for
that" for a good reason there seems to be an
app for almost everything.There isn't an app for
organizing all the apps you download from the App
Store, however, so if you love to take advantage
of every download-for-free promotion that comes
your way, you will soon need to organize your
apps rather than just letting each new app go to
the back of the line. Organize Your iPad With
Folders When the iPad was introduced, it didn't
include a way to create folders, but this
feature soon emerged as an important tool for
curating apps on the device. The process of
moving an app into a folder is simple as moving
an app, but instead of dropping the app on an
open area on the iPad's Home screen, you drop it
onto another app.

How to Organize Apps on Your iPad

• Tap and hold on an app that you want to put in a
  folder.
• After it starts to jiggle, drag it over another
  app you want to put in the same folder,
• but don't release it.
• As you continue to hold the app, you zoom into a
  folder view.
• Release the app.
• Add a name to the folder if the generic name the
  iPad chooses isn't the one you want
• to use, by tapping in the name area. The iPad
  recognizes types of apps,
• so if you create a folder with two weather apps
  in it, the name will be Weather.
• Click off the folder and back on the Home screen.
  
• Now you can click, hold, and drag additional apps
  into the folder.
• Make several folders to hold your apps. People
  often create folders for games, productivity
  apps, entertainment
• apps, financial apps, and so on. If you don't
  end up using a particular folder, drag all the
  apps in it out to

How to Organize Apps on Your iPad

• Place Your Most-Used Apps on the Dock
• The apps on the dock at the bottom of the screen
  stay the same no matter which Home
• screen you are currently on, so this area is the
  best place for your most-used apps. Many
• of us never change out the apps on the dock, but
  you can put up to 13 apps on the dock,
• so there's plenty of room for you to personalize
  your dock experience.
• After the first half dozen, the app icons shrink
  to make room
• for additional app icons.
• The dock displays the three most recently used
  apps automatically, so even if you don't
• have an app docked, it may be ready for you to
  launch from the dock if you have
• opened it recently.
• You place an app on the dock the same way you
  would move it anywhere.
• Press and hold on the app until it jiggles.

• If your dock is already full or if you decide you
  need one of the default apps on the dock,
• move apps off the dock just as you would move
  them from anywhere.
• When you move the app off the dock, the other
  apps on the dock reposition
• themselves

How to Organize Apps on Your iPad

• Place Folders on the Dock
• One of the coolest ways to organize your iPad is
  to flip the script. While the dock is intended
• for your most-used apps and the Home screen is
  intended for your folders and the rest of your
• apps, you can use the Home screen for the most
  popular apps and the dock for everything else by
• filling the dock up with folders. Placing a
  folder on the dock is a great way to access a
  whole
• slew of apps from any Home screen.
• So, instead of using the dock for apps you want
  to get to easily, you leave them on the first
  page
• of your Home screen and put all your other apps
  in folders on the dock.
• Sort the Apps Alphabetically
• There is no way to keep your apps permanently
  organized alphabetically, but you can sort them
• without moving each app using a workaround.
