Can someone tell me where this "Video" App is? Is it just called "Video"? I can't find it in the App store.
I just bought a movie from iTunes and would like to watch it without using Wifi. I just downloaded the movie to my iPad.

It is a built in app on your iPad. It is called "Videos". The icon looks like a film clapper. As it is a pre-installed app, it has to be somewhere on your iPad. If you don't see it, a Spotlight search should turn it up.
The Videos App is just caled "Videos" and its icon looks like this:
If you can't find it, you can use spotlight to search for it, by swiping down from the middle of the screen. If it is in a folder it will tell you which one.
First let me say that you guys have been so helpful to me! Thank you so much.
First, you're not going to believe it, but I didn't know there was another "pull down" from the center of the screen. That was MOST helpful. I did the Search and found Videos in a folder, but had to go looking for it. It was good to know what the Icon looks like so keep giving folks that info when they can't find their apps.
One more question...when I used "Search", it didn't tell me 'where' Videos was on my iPad. How do I get it to do that?
You said that the app was in a folder. The search feature will show the name of the folder to the right of the app icon. It will not tell you the location of the folder. You have to swipe from screen to screen to find it.
An easy way to locate the Videos app is to reset the home screen layout and that will place the icon back on the home screen. However, it will destroy any home screen arrangement t and folder structure that you have in the home screen.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset home screen layout. This returns the home screen to the out of the box look when you first activated your device.
When you search for an App, if its in a folder, the name of the folder will appear on the right side of the results:
i.e
In that case the folder name is "Thisisthefoldername"
Perfect! I saw it this time. 🙂 Thanks!
Do you guys know if you can put movies in the order you want to see them in, in the Video's app?
No, I do not believe you can change their order. They are sorted alphabetically by Title.

Thank you Demo...that first link looks really good for starters!
Aloha Demo.
I couldn't help but notice this is one of the rare times "branched to a new discussion" actually branched to a new discussion.
I'm sure you noticed but it happens so rarely I had to point it out.
Stay well. Bob.
If you have a iPad 3 or newer don't forget Siri. Just say "Open videos."
Okay, I'll trade my iPad 2 for your iPad 3. It's a good deal. Trust me. 🙂
Hi Bob... I did notice that and I also noticed that this discussion we are currently in was branched from a discussion that I was in back in 2012.
Branched from an earlier discussion.

Bob couldn't do that if he wanted to do so. He has an iPad 4. He was merely pointing out that an iPad 3 or newer has Siri capability. 😉
Can someone tell me where this "Video" App is?
