Can't seem to find open apps easily. Sometimes I get it swiping from the bottom but mostly just get app window.

    Hi,  

    It's  actually  not  the  easiest  thing,  but  to  see  all  open  apps,  just  first  have  an  app  running  on  screen.  You  can't  do  this  from  the  home  launcher  screen.  At  the  very  bottom  of  the  running  app  is  a  bar.  Put  your  finger  at  or  just  below  that  and  drag  slowly  up  until  the  app  reduces  and  is  dragged  up.  Then  let  go  of  the  bottom  button.  You  can  now  scroll  through  open  apps.  To  close  any,  just  swipe  it  right.  To  close  all,  scroll  quickly  to  the  very  bottom  of  the  open  apps  list  for  the  "Close  All"  button.

    Hello KenGaston-Kilgore,

    Please make sure that when you swipe from the bottom, you touch the black bezel below the screen.

    Hope this helps.
