Customizing your apple products- CoCoPPa Help

Hey! So I always try to customize my phone, ipod, ipad as much as possible so I wanted to change the icons and make them prettier. So I found an app called Cocoppa. It basically makes shortcuts on your device, so you do have to keep the original apps but I just place all mine in a folder at the back so I don't really even notice them.

This app is really easy to use, but because of apple, there are some apps that cannot have a shortcut made (Camera, Settings, Notes, Phone, etc) but there are some that if you choose URL you can make a shortcut even if it's not listed in the app section.

Pick an icon you like and select "set up link"

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="553"] If the app is not listed, go back to this page, scroll down and select URL[/caption]

I hope this helped you customize your phone, ipod, ipad or whatever! Let me know if you have an questions. The URLS I listed above are currently the only ones I know of, I will update them when I find more so please do not contact me to ask if there are more urls. If you look in the app section and your app is not listed it probably cannot be made. Also make sure you're typing in the correct name for the app. These are the list of apps I know of that do not have shortcuts.

• camera


• notes


• settings


• phone


• paper


• facetime


• photobooth


• megaphoto


• contacts


• clock


• pages


• weather (unless you use a different app than the one that comes pre-loaded on the device)


• newsstand

*NOTE: I HAVE AN IPAD SO THERE MAY BE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN WHAT IS AVAILABLE OR NOT.

FAQ

1. Do the shortcut show the little notification when there are updates?
   No, it shows on the original app but not the shortcuts


2. Do the links work in the UK and Australia?
   Yes, as far as I am told, they do.


3. My app is not listed in the app section, how do I find the URL for it?
   Some apps DO NOT have a shortcut. Often apps that are not well-known (such as apps specific to your bank, school, job, etc will not be able to have a shortcut made. There is no way to find the url because it won't exist for small apps. I'm sorry!


4. The iTunes and App Store links are so long!
   Not a question, don't be lazy- type it in or don't get a shortcut, there isn't a shorter version, if there was i'd have posted it.


5. I can't find the app COCOPPA in the app store :(
   It's listed under iphone/ipod apps. There is no ipad version so you'll have to use the ipod version of the app.


6. Why is it moving slow?
   Your device may move slower because it takes longer to open the shortcuts then the actual app


7. How do I find my app?? Can you search for an app? I don't understand how to use it!
