Categories: A place for everything, everything in its place

Categories

If your iPhone is inundated with a million Apps, you can tidy up your Springboard with Categories by BigBoss.  With Categories, you can create folders within you can place your Apps, organizing them however you please.  Instead of tirelessly scrolling from screen to screen, you can have one screen containing all of your App folders for instant access to what you want.

  • Apps from the App Store must be removed from their folders before uninstalling them
  • After making folder changes, the category settings app may not respring (Can be fixed by reloading the settings, then tapping the respring button)
  • Since Categories edits system files, be sure to read the Help section carefully before using this App to avoid any complications (The Help section is very detailed and offers step-by-step instructions)
