I can't find any info about this. I am aware that tapping on the app icon will open a small descriptive paragraph in the Updates list. Have we lost the ability to open a popup window with the app description, date of update release & user reviews? I always check before updating an app in case there are major problems or loss of a particular function that I depend on (i.e. Bump's loss of Calendar transfer). I've had to resort to opening iTunes and finding the particular apps in the App store to research this info and frankly, it's a big PITA. :mad:

If I've overlooked something, please forgive and clue me in. This is on a rMini, iOS 7.0.4.
 
Seems like you can't open an app description window on the iPad. You can on the iPhone, though.

This isn't less of a hassle, but you can search for your app on your device and read the reviews.

How do you mean? :confused: Using the Search box in the App Update list?

Got it. That works. Thanks. :)

Strange that simply tapping on it doesn't work the same way everywhere.
