+
+1. iPhone 3g, iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4 (Retina), iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 (4-inch)
+2. iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3 (alias new, Retina), iPad 4, iPad Mini (not Retina, smaller 7.9’’ screen)

+2. iOS 5.x
+3. iOS 6.x

+
+## Device Orientation and rotation
+
+Does the app support both landscape and portrait orientation?
+Any particular views (UIViewControllers) that support different orientations?
+
+## Network
+How does the app behave under these network circumstances:
+
+1. no network at all
+2. intermittent network
+3. cellular slow: 2G (Edge)
+4. cellular medium: 3G (UTMS, CDMA) 
+5. cellular fast: 4G(LTE)
+6. Wifi
+7. Public wifi with HTTP authentication (e.g. Starbucks)
+
+Other network questions:
+
+1. Is your app tested on all carriers in your target market?
+2. Is offline access to (part of)data required?
+3. Does the app make sense for wifi-only devices?
+4. Does the app resume sending/downloading data after a connection has been reestablished?
+
+## Security
+1. Is confidential data sent over unsecured HTTP?
+2. Are user credentials like username/password sent over unsecured HTTP?
+3. Are sensitive files stored unencrypted on the device?
+4. Would a pin code on the app (e.g. DropBox) be advisable?
+5. What happens if a device is stolen? Should the app be remotely wiped?
+
+
+## Memory
+How does the app behave under low memory circumstances:
+
+1. Open up lots of Mobile Safari windows and go back to the app
+2. Use an old model device like the original iPad (maybe even not supported model anymore)
+
+Trigger memory warnings in the Simulator.
+
+## Text input
+1. Can a very large text be entered?
+2. What happens on suspend and resume? Can I continue entering text where I left off?
+
+## Context and environment
+1. How is it to use the app outdoors with lots of light?
+2. Does a busy surrounding make the app significantly harder to use?
+
+## Accessability
+Are controls accessible? Are accessibility labels set?
+
+## Crash logs
+Use one of the following services to collect and analyse crash logs:
+
+1. Crashlytics
+2. Crittercism
+3. iTunes Connect
+
+## Installation
+1. What is the size of the initial download, is it too big for cellular downloads?
+2. - size of the downloadable, too big for cellular?
+
+## Updates
+1. What is the size of the updated app, is it too big for cellular downloads?
+2. Are there database updates? Have they been tested with multiple previous releases
+3. Is CoreData used for database migrations?
+4. Are there other persistent data/settings that should be tested with updates?
+
+## Guidelines
