How Do I delete an App I downloaded for Free from the App store?

iPhone has been turned off/on. How Do I delete Apps


I know how to hold down an app and delete it b tapping the "x". The "x" does not appear in the corner.
I know I can't delete standard Apps (Phone, Safari, Youtube, Caculator,ect.)


I cannot delete Apps I downloaded for free (Netflix,espn,gasbuddy,ect.)
I cannot delete favorites from safari that i selected "Add to Home Screen"


All Applications are shaking with no X

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1, iPhone not modded,Not jailbroken

Hi


Okay, I deleted the app (Scrabble) via Manage Storage Category. Then I re-installed a new app from the iTunes store. For a few minutes I thought it was fine. But then it crashed as it did before.




Thank you.

Sorry I meant iPad (habit) but yes, if the iPad is still having a problem delete the app and use the iPad for awhile without the app. If it quits crashing then it is likely the app causing the problem for some unknown reason. However if the crashing persists, even without the app installed, then you likely have another problem where a restore is likely in order. But for now use the iPad without the app and see what happens.

OK, so I deleted the iPad app (I can't use the iPad if without the app) You probably meant the iPhone, right?


Anyway, there is NO App on the iPad; the same app on the iPhone is fine. It does not crash. I'm about to re-install another Scrabble app from the Apple store to the iPad in a few minutes.


If it keeps crashing, what do you suggest I do. Not sure how to reset my iPad. I might take it to the Genius bar because of the deletion problems I'm having with the jiggling icons.

Here's what happened. I deleted the app on the iPad and played with the same app on the iPhone for awhile. I waited about 1/2 hour and re-installed a new app on the iPad. For about 10 minutes, I thought the problem was resolved - then it happened again. So, I'm waiting to hear from the developer and if they can't resolve it - I'll go to the genius bar.
