16. Newsstand
In This Chapter
Newsstand gathers all your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in a central place. Newsstand itself isn’t an app: It’s actually a special folder that’s created and maintained by your iPad. You can’t delete Newsstand or drag it into another folder.
Using Newsstand
Each publication in Newsstand is a stand-alone app, which you can download from the App Store the way you do any other app. The quickest way to get to the store is to tap Newsstand and then tap the Store button 
. Alternatively, open App Store, tap Top Charts or Categories (at the bottom of the screen), and then choose the Newsstand category.
Newsstand opens to reveal your magazine and newspaper apps.
Tapping a publication’s app opens its own home screen, showing past and current issues 
. You can buy an autorenewable subscription or buy single issues as individual in-app purchases. Purchases are billed to your Apple ID account.
Apple doesn’t enforce a consistent style, so each publication has its own design and navigational controls.
Managing Newsstand
Newsstand-compatible apps move into Newsstand automatically. You can’t drag other publications (or books) into Newsstand. If a subscription app or publication doesn’t appear in Newsstand, the publisher hasn’t enabled that app for Newsstand.
An alert badge, in the form of a small number in a red circle, appears on the Newsstand icon when new issues arrive. Newsstand updates subscriptions (downloads new issues) over only Wi-Fi—not cellular connections.
To turn on automatic downloads for your publications:
• Tap Settings > Store.
To rearrange Newsstand apps:
1. Touch and hold any app icon for a few seconds until all the icons wiggle.
2. Drag icons to new locations within Newsstand.
3. Press the Home button.
