Intuitive when you had never seen iOS before?

It's pretty intuitive to me, but I've been using little computers since 1980.The manuals are OK, but hardly necessary. Try some of the video tutorials. This one got five stars from two hundred users, so it's probably not a total waste of time :o)iOS is not intuitive, although others will say it is. If anything is new to you, in this case the features, layout, workflow, it can rarely be intuitive.I suggest that when you seek to lean a task, whether it be "How to import a file into Goodreader" as one example, Google or YouTube it. After a while, it will feel more intuitive as you will get used to the iOS workflow. For an app, Google or YouTube that too, there are many intros online that can help the understanding of the workflow
I have the .pdf manual on my PC but the thing is so difficult to use. Probably the fault of the reader.The print is small so I use Control + to increase text but that doesn't last when I change pages. So by the time I have read a couple of pages I just get tired and quit.The only apps I have figured out are:Camera and Photo booth, maps, mail, and Settings, to some extent.I open calendar expecting to be able to enter information but keyboard doesn't open nor is there an icon to click to open it. Same thing wit reminders.I'd like to get rid of some app icons from the home page, I don't expect to ever use Music or Video. There's an item called utilities and it has clock on it.Why can't I get a simple, central time click instead of that world clock? I don't care what time it is in Timbuktu.One reason I forget some of the things I HAVE learned is that I just get tired of looking and not being able to do anything with the very expensive device that I can't really use,Jim
