Easy to read and lots of useful information

I’ve owned ipads for years. I bought this book to send to my cousin because I’m giving her an ipad pro. This book is well organized. There a few things that I learned from reading this book, even though I used ipads for years. But this book is good for a beginner, also because it covers all the topics anyone new to an ipad needs to know.

For In Laws

Bought this for my In laws. Praying it helps them. We do not like being free 24/7 tech support.

Very Informative!!!

Very informative!!!! I received an Apple ipad as a gift. It had no instructions. I never had a Apple I pad so it was very difficult to get started. This book had everthing that I wanted help with. It had great illustrations and very good instructions. It also was very easy to understand.

It's a good reference book

This book, like so many tutorials, etc., assume you have been using a smart phone (iPhone or other) and so some of the information is not familiar to those of us who don't have a smart phone. I found it difficult to use in terms of setting up. I did find a good tutorial online that led me step by step through the process, and that was much easier for me. However, this book has all kinds of information in it, and I know I will refer to it often for specific references.

Too much info for my uncle

Bought this for my 100 year old uncle and it was WAY TOO MUCH information. He wanted the basics. This goes way into detail on things he didn’t need. I am sorry I bought it. Next time I make a purchase like this I will go to a bookstore and look closer. It might be better for a "techie" senior but avoid my problem and evaluate your learner before buying!

This book was helpful.

The book was good. God is good (Matthew 19:17). He sent Jesus to die for lost sinners that they might be saved (John 3:16). Sinners are finally saved when they (a) believe in Jesus as the Son of God (John 3:16); (b) repent of their sins (Acts 2:38); (c) confess their faith in Christ with their mouths (Romans 10:10); and (d) are baptized "for the remission (removal) of their sins" (Acts 2:38).
