Bug in newsstand in ios7: unable to pinch to close?

+1

Besides the issue above, I can't close Newsstand in the multitask tab.

Same here......

please fix this. dislike having the press the home button twice to exit out of the nytimes and then out of newsstand.

I have the same problem. And I don't like to press the home button to return to the main screen either. Please help fix it!

I don't think this is a bug: I think Newsstand is behaving like a folder, so doesn't close with the pinch gesture. While this may be logical, I too find it annoying that the home screen isn't accessible behind it. It would be much better to be able to leave Newsstand without using the home button.

I'm positive it's a bug: as a user I shouldn't care less if the Newsstand is a folder or an app. The inconsistency in interaction with default home screen objects is the problem here. We're told that apps can be closed with five-finger pinch. All apps ought to comply, no matter their innards.

The sooner Apple fixes it, the better. Don't remember any such problems with old Newsstand.

Thanks for reminding, James Ward4. Filed a bug report. Funny though, iOS is not listed in the 'operating system' list.

Just thoroughly describe the issue and include the OS info. They'll get it.

I agree with you Kom-Si: I simply think this was Apple's intention rather than a programming error. It is a error for human interaction, in my opinion, and the old Newsstand behaviour was much better.

File a bug report, CDudmanas, at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ as James Ward4recommends. The more they get them, the sooner they'll assign someone to fix it.

Done- I think a lot of people want this changed. Thanks to James Ward4 for the recommendation.

Agree. Further confirmed by opening newsstand then viewing it from app switcher. There's no iOS screen when newsstand is open. Apple should offer a close window x or pinch to close. Feedback submitted!

It's not acting strictly like a folder. Folders don't show up in the app switcher. Newsstand does--even though you can't close it from there. It seems to have an identity crisis and can't decide whether it's an app or a folder. Hope they fix this soon.
