[Trainer-Talk] ipfone difficulty

I agree with Chip about gestures. You may also ask her if she has locked the
orientation of her phone. When the orientation is not locked, placement of
the icons can and will move. Once she becomes more comfortable with the
gestures, she may find times she wants the orientation unlocked, but I do
not think I ever have unlocked mine and I have used one of these for five
years now.

Have her use the edge of a table to make sure she has her phone oriented in
a portrait (vertical) position. Also, flicking (quicker and shorter
movements with her finger) may help.

Hello,
I have been working with my student on her apex for a couple weeks and she
seems to be getting it down.  However, she mentioned to me that she has an
iphone but her gestures are not being recognized.  She can tap and double
tap, but she is having difficulty swiping.  She indicated that she is having
difficulty swiping straight across the screen and has a tendency to swipe
diagonally.  I am relatively new to Ios myself and am not sure how to help
her with this.  Therefore, has anyone experienced a similar situation with
their student? If so, are there any techniques I could try that might help
her get the swiping motion down? We are working via phone, so I am not there
to feel her hand, I'm just going by what she told me she is having
difficulty with.  Any suggestions on techniques I could try?
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
