5S Touch ID and app store
I must be doing something wrong but I have ticked the option in settings to use fingerprints for iTunes and the App Store but it doesn't work (I just get asked for my password). Can anyone help please

Unfortunately, I think it has the same restriction as unlocking the phone. If you haven't used it for 48 hours (in the Store, I mean) or you've restarted, you'll have to use your password for your first purchase. After that, it should ask you to scan your fingerprint after you press Buy or Install. I think if you don't download things frequently, you'll never be able to use Touch ID. Try it now with a couple of free apps. |

Further to the above, it seems to have got a bit confusing in 7.0.3.
Instead of saying 'scan fingerprint' it comes up with a box that says Touch ID and underneath, options for 'enter password' or 'cancel'. That's the point at which you scan your fingerprint. |

Yeah, I think it has the 48 hour cut-off. A bit annoying because I don't necessarily download apps and music THAT frequently, and when I do it tends to be one at a time.
