Some of u may already be aware of this but i did a search and couldnt find anything on this in the forums so i thought id share. So the iOS doesn't show scroll bars within a frame such as the results pane in the units section on this site. Well I discovered how to scroll within those frames.

Use two fingers to scroll. I tried this on both the iPad and iPhone and it works. Hold two fingers within the results frame for a second and then scroll down with both.

Yay now we can use the complete units section remotely. In my opinion, the available apps can't touch the units section here for team building and advanced searches.

Another tip for saving teams is to take a screen shot of ur team. To do this zoom in on the frame in the units section where u made ur team. Now hold down the power button and then quickly press the home button on your ipad or iPhone. It saves the shot with ur pictures where u can easily view them later.

I was always using the "show all" button and looking at the list that way. The new way is totally better. Thanks

Yeah, but it's kind of complicated.

1. Power off the android.
2. Go get a real smartphone.

:p

Kidding, of course. Just couldn't resist.

I don't have a touch but I believe it should work the same as iPhone. The touch has a photo icon even though it doesn't have a camera right?

One of the few droid drawbacks (along with lack of any voice dialing capablity).
But it still beats being forced to install that annoying iTunes. :D

Just tried sideways scrolling the list of sets in the unit section and it also works with the two finger method.

Great tip, I found the scrolling thing awhile back by accident. Took me a minute to figure out what I did.

Also great tip on taking a screenshot of your list. I hadn't thought about that. Taking that a step further you can put that screenshot into Evernote (free app if you haven't tried it yet) and use it for notes & such along with the screenshot.
