Re: [iPad] I've been struggling to learn my iPad well enough to actually use it.

 

Yes, intuitive in this context is being able to do most things with no instruction or knowledge.

I have been using computers since 1990. i went from DOS to many versions of Windows starting with Windows 3.0. 2006 i switched to my first Apple computer.  Then came the iPhone.  I bought the original iPhone. I had watched the keynote on it and read up on it before it came out. Therefore, iOS was pretty intuitive....tap an icon to open an app etc. It didn't take me much time to figure out what the different icons did. All it took was not being afraid to tap an icon to see what it did. Of course I had a backup and had read up on how to restore my iPhone if I did something I couldn't reverse. Then came the iPad. Works just about the same as the iPhone, so no trouble there.  I think for quite a few, anything different is overwhelming. what goes along with that, i think, is once overwhelmed, one tries to take in the whole picture and doesn't read carefully the screen.  Then, there are those apps like Goodreader, that have so many hidden features and settings, it's a wonder how I figured it out.

Sound about right?
