News stand app is worthless. People charge crazy prices for subscriptions.

Why the hell did they add reminders when they already had notes ? Are they not the same thing ?

I agree, I'm glad I was able to hide the icon. It drove me nuts.

The only thing I can think of is it's attached to the notifications thing.

I still just use notes though.

So after about 4 days, yea this update really is nothing special. Notifications are nice, but w/ no widgets it's a little pointless.

They are location based. So if you need to do something in an area then you can set to have it notify you when you leave or the next time you come back.

Notes doesn't do that. Notes are... well... notes. Reminders are like a to-do list.

How can we get rid of or hide that icon? I try to move it into a folder and it keeps bouncing back.

Move Newsstand App Into a Folder on iOS 5

Those who have upgraded to iOS 5 have probably noticed that little Newsstand icon is unable to be moved to a folder, and like all other Apple iOS apps, it can’t be deleted. Well, a little tip from The Coding Massacre has made the rounds that shows us how we can force the Newsstand app into a folder under iOS 5, thanks to a bug in iOS. The downside is that if you then try to access Newsstand, springboard will usually crash.

Due to the buggy nature of this tip, if you have any plans on using Newsstand to read magazines or newspapers on your iPhone or iPad, this is not recommended. Also, you have to be quick.

Grab any two apps and create a new folder, this is where you’ll be storing Newsstand
The moment the apps are moved to the folder and the new folder animation is activated, drag Newsstand into the folder

Assuming you were quick enough, Newsstand will now be in that folder. As previously mentioned, this can often cause unstable behavior when accessing that folder and Newsstand, so don’t be surprised if Springboard (the iOS dashboard) starts crashing afterwards.

It’s a fairly safe bet that iOS 5.1 will fix this bug and allow Newsstand to be moved around without resorting to such tricks.

How To Put Newsstand In A Folder

http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/13/how-to-put-newsstand-in-a-folder/

The Coding Massacre has discovered a trick to force the iOS 5 Newsstand into a folder. The only reason to do this is to tuck Newsstand away and hide...

Edit: Brett beat me to it.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Yeah don't do the trick if you plan on using the app. It'll boot you. I could care less for the app. I hid it.

**CaptainZombie** · 10-17-2011, 01:09 PM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Thanks guys for the tips.

**Gotmadskillzson** · 10-17-2011, 01:17 PM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

LOL I was wondering the same thing, glad I wasn't the only one who was having a hard time hiding that app.
