Deleting Applications

You can delete applications you’ve installed from the App Store. If you delete an
application, data associated with the application will no longer be available to
iPod touch, unless you reinstall the application and restore its data from a backup.

You can reinstall an application and restore its data as long as you backed up
iPod touch with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an application that
hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the application
data, you must restore iPod touch from a backup containing the data. See “Restoring
from a Backup”
on page 157.

Delete an App Store application:

1

Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to

wiggle.

2

Tap in the corner of the application you want to delete.

3

Tap Delete, then press the Home button to save your arrangement.

When you delete an application, its data is no longer accessible via the iPod touch user
interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPod touch. For information about erasing all
content and settings, see “Erase All Content and Settings” in iPod touch settings. See
“Resetting iPod touch” on page 122.

Writing Reviews

You can write and submit your own application reviews directly on iPod touch.

Write a review:

1

Tap Ratings near the bottom of the Info screen.

2

On the Reviews screen, tap “Write a Review.”

3

Select the number of stars (1–5) for your rating of the application, and enter your

nickname, a title for the review, and optional review comments. If you’ve written
reviews before, the nickname field is already filled in. Otherwise, you’re asked to create
a reviewer nickname.

4

Tap Send.

You must be signed in to your iTunes Store account and have purchased or
downloaded the item in order to submit reviews.
