I wish that Apple made the Notification center disappear while in-game. Meaning that when a game works in full screen the give me an option to turn off the pull down if the notification center, and I say an option in the game menu or even the phone options where I can chose to have it show like now or not show at all. Try playing Fruit Ninja... Apple crippled that game IMHO.

Well we need something like this. I'd prefer swiping either way but an x could be put there to please both preferences

I've always tried swiping to the right! Didn't think to try left...

I'm left handed...feels wrong to swipe to the left when I hold the phone in my left hand...

I agree. They can just put a toggle in NC like there is in Mountain Lion's Notification Center

And instead of a tiny X, have a button:

iOS doesn't need more buttons, what we need is gestures; Apple mastered gestures on OSX, they need to step up their game for iOS.

Obviously we need that little 'X' button. A lot of people don't know that swipe feature including me.

Swiping from right to left works great.

We don't need more buttons, Apple should make people more aware of these things.

Swiping Touch Issue

There is a problem with how Apple's handling the swiping. Half the time when I swipe a notification banner, nothing happens, and sometimes it launches the notifying app.

Similarly, on my iPad home screen, I've got to get the tiny point of my finger just right in the groove to open a notification into the desired app. And my fingers are pretty skinny.

As with any issue, some people are not having this issue and I'm pleased it's all "just working" for them, but I hope they're looking at making this work better for the rest of us.

:cool:

lol well said. I find it doesn't work that well, or maybe it's just not flawless like we've come to expect from Apple. I would prefer an X. I know it's not impossible, but IMO it's even more inconvenient with the iPhone 5 to stretch up with one hand and swipe vs. the 4. Looking forward to some type of improvement in iOS 7 although I would welcome the change even sooner.
