### 1/5 — Hasn’t been working lately

*2024-07-15*

I have had this version and the iPhone version installed for years, but lately the articles will not load at all. There is nothing wrong with my wifi or internet connection and everything else works fine. I have always liked this app, but now I am very disappointed. This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — How do I cancel this app

*2024-04-06*

With the 4.7 rating and the reviews I downloaded this app. It isn’t a simple guide with specific topics and it seems to be aimed at OS16
I’m using OS17 so the app is useless for me. Also, as with other apps there is no mention of its cost then costs spring up,,,just be upfront about costs. Also you have to use the fingerprint thing which gives no indication of price.    How can I uninstall and wipe out any hidden cost.

**Developer response:** Hi John, thanks for your feedback. Our tips are fully updated for iOS 17, but still mention many iOS 16 features which are still relevant. We do offer a Premium subscription which removes ads and unlocks bonus content, but this is completely optional and certainly not a 'hidden' cost. Apple doesn't allow that. If you're still interested in a simple guide with specific topics, check out the completely free 'All Tips' section of the app which is split into handy chapters and covers all the basics and more. If you're worried you accidentally signed up for a subscription, you can check that in Settings > iCloud > Subscriptions. Hope this helps! Kind Regards, Tom (Editor)

### 1/5 — This Used To Be A Great App

*2023-09-05*

Have had this app for a long time and it was one of my favorites.  Not sure what happened but now it loads the available articles in the left side panes, but any that you click on never load, just spins and spins.  I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling to no avail. BTW, the ads still load just fine!

**Developer response:** Hi RF63 - sorry to hear you can't read our posts since the latest update! We're having trouble replicating the issue on our test devices but would love to get it fixed. Could you possibly email me directly at tomjrolfe@intelligenti.com for further support and confirm what iPhone/iPad model you're viewing on? We'll do what we can to get you access again and will chuck in ad-free access as thanks. Appreciate your support over the years. Thanks, Tom (Editor)

### 4/5 — Stack widgets

*2023-05-25*

Learning surprising tips each time.

### 5/5 — Great ideas

*2022-11-05, version 14.0.1*

Thank you it is great😄😄😄😄

### 1/5 — App won’t update (Premium content)

*2022-10-25, version 14.0.1*

This app will notify you that it has updates but will hang with screen saying “Downloading Tips Content” for an eternity and never update. Been a day now for me! Yes, apps been open the whole time. So you reboot etc. etc. etc. and no luck. Then you look for email address to email them as to the problem but it says contact Apple Support. Ok, did that and Apple says this is a third party application and we don’t support that. I agree, but Apple has no email and/or phone number for them. So you’re stuck all the way around. My suggestion: Don’t put out the $50.00 plus for Premium tips. Obviously this company has no interest in talking to people nor do they care that the app don’t work. Fortunately Apple put in for refund.

### 5/5 — Tips & Tricks

*2022-06-13*

I’ve been reading and enjoying all the different updates in iPhone. And as well trying to help install some of them. Please keep bring around these important updates.

### 1/5 — Annoying app

*2021-08-12*

Nothing interests me. All boring stuff. Nothing good to talk about.

### 5/5 — TapSmart

*2021-06-21*

All the latest Apple news at your fingertips. 
Bug alerts, app reviews and much, much more. 
Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great information

*2021-06-08*

I love some one tips that I get.  I like using them and trying out the ones that I am interested in.  I suggest everyone uses this.
