Q: how too close apps on Ipad with iOS7?

Still double click the home button, but then swipe the page (not the icon) of the app you wish to close to the top as if you were flinging it off the top of the display.

Double Tap the Home Button... Then swipe the App Upwards... Tap the Home Button when finished.

You're Welcome.

I just wanted to say thank you for your answer to closing the apps on my ipad.  I just updated to IOS 7 today, that was a great description I giggled flinging them off the page... Have a great day

Just simply "pinch-in" with all 5 fingers.

...or "pinch-out" (5 fingers) and "swipe-up" to close app completely.

Thanks a lot. I was stuck since last many days. Today I am sort of relieved because my iPad was responding very slow due to many apps running.
