Q: I can't open two of my apps. What should I do?

I am trying to open two already downloaded apps, but one of them got deleted and the other one says waiting under it. I tried turning off my phone, but that didn't work. I also tried updating both apps in the app store, but it says pending updates and won't let me open them. What should I do? This is so annoying. All of the other apps on my phone work fine.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.6

    If something similar happened to me, I would update everything on iTunes on my computer.  I would then check on iTunes to make sure all the apps I want are downloaded.  Then I would sync the iPhone to iTunes.

    I finally figured it out. I wasn't able to delete the apps by clicking on the x because it wouldn't pop up. So I went to settings~general~usage and then was able to delete both apps from there. Once I did that I was able to re-download them.
