StifleStand

Throughout their use, Apple products have given some headaches to their users here and there, mostly from a customization point of view.

One very simple and clear example of that is the fact that by default, you can not move the Newsstand app in a folder. This seems to be bothering a lot of users and if just like them you want a clear and clean home screen for your iPhone or iPad, you just can’t because of the dreaded Newsstand icon that just won’t go away.

A solution would be to move it to the last page but once you reboot your device the Newsstand app is back home. This happens because Newsstand is already a type of folder. After all, the application stores inside articles and other readable material that you download. The issue seems that iOS doesn’t allow you to move a folder inside another folder.

This is where StifleStand steps in. It’s a simple to use solution that allows you to hide the Newsstand in a folder in a simple and fast manner. All you have to do is to connect your iOS device, iPhone or iPad, and once the application recognizes it, click the ‘Hide Newsstand’ button.

During the process, you need to keep the phone connected to your PC as the application hides the iOS app as soon as you click the hide button. The whole thing takes just a couple of seconds and after that you can access the Newsstand app from within a folder.

The new folder isn’t locked in any way, nor is it a fake that fools the operating system. You can drop any other applications inside it without affecting their functionality

In closing, StifleStand is by all means a practical and effective solution if you intend to get rid of the Newsstand icon from your iOS.
