Hello the jingle,


It sounds like you may be using a Smart Stack widget, is that right?


If so, you may want to try turning off Widget Suggestions using these steps to see if that improves things:


1. Touch and hold the widget stack.
2. Tap Edit Stack . From here, you can reorder the widgets in the stack by dragging and dropping the app where you want it in the stack. You can also turn Smart Rotate* and Widget Suggestions on or off.
3. Tap Done.


Post back with if you still experience the same issue after disabling that.


Cheers!

its not the app its the widgets. and i've opened up the widget and removed the sugged widget that was added to it twice then it stops showing up for 1-2 months and then it adds another widget to a different widget i have on the screen. cause you can add multiple apps into 1 widget. so i have about 4 widgets across the ipad each one can scroll 3-4 different things apple would keep on adding their own into it like apple tv or news or somthing i would watch or do. if i remove it another one pops up right away if i remove that it stops for about a month and then it starts all over again its like apple advertising stuff on your time your money.
