Stuck program on iOS

Let's say you've got an app on your iPhone or iPad that is "stuck" i.e. it just stays at one screen and no input affects it.  The best thing to do is to kill the running app and restart it.

Here's how:  double click the Home button.  This pops up at the bottom of the screen the icons of running apps.  Your bad boy is probably the first one.  Press and hold your app's icon until it starts wiggling. A red circle with a minus sign in it will appear at the top left of the wiggling icons.  Touch the red circle on your problem app, which stops it running.  Now press the home key once to return everything to normal.  Restart your app again by pressing its icon as usual and all should be well.
