Hard to understand what you actually need?!
You either want to close the app or to delete it?
-to close an app you doubletap the home button and slide the app you want to close, off the screen with a fingergesture from bottom to top of the screen!
-to delete an app, you hold down the apps icon until it starts to wiggle. Once they wiggle, you tap on the "x" in the app icons corner and you'll be asked to confirm the operation.

Why can I not make the BBC Radio app work on my iphone 4. It did work well for some months but now even when I have full strength signal on 3g via ee it simply hunts and will not start. Thanks Roger

(Just to be clear, this is the BBC Radio app, right? If your problem is the BBC News app, I may have a different suggestion.)

Do you have the latest version of the app? It appears that BBC Radio just updated the app a week ago on 31July2014 (Version 1.5.3), but it requires iOS 6.0 or later and is optimized for iPhone 5. I see you have an iPhone 4.

Do you have iOS 6 on your phone? And do you have the latest version of the app?

iOS 6 is supposedly completely compatible with iPhone 4s, and it is also supposedly compatible with iPhone 4 except iOS 6 on:
  • iPhone 4, does not support:
    • Siri
    • Maps flyover
    • Turn-by-turn navigation
    • FaceTime on 3G
    • Hearing aid support
So, it seems to me that this app should still work on your phone, unless you don't have the proper operating system or you haven't upgraded to the new version.

(the info below is copied and pasted for your viewing)
What's New in Version 1.5.3 FIXED - problem with automatically finding your local station
Please note that you can also choose any local station from the option beneath the dial after turning it to 'Find Local Radio'. You can even add up to 3 selected local stations to the dial using the Edit function.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 6.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Camera is not working

How to Fix the iOS 11 Camera Not Working

1. Close the Camera App completely.

If you find problems with the iOS 11 camera app during usage, close the app from the App Switcher and then open it again.
For most iPhone models that have a Home button, to completely close the camera app, double tap the Home button to bring out the App Switcher, and then swipe the Camera app up to close it completely.
For iPhone X users, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the center of the screen to open the App Switcher, and the press and hold the Camera app until there's a Close button on the app, then you can tap on the button or swipe up to completely shut down the camera.

2. Restart your iPhone.

Sometimes small issues like app crashes could be fixed by simply rebooting your iPhone. It's a common solution for a lot of bugs and errors on iPhone and a lot of other electronic products. So when you find an iOS 11 camera bug, instead of getting frustrated, try restarting your iPhone first and see if it gets back to normal.
Press and hold the Power button on your iPhone until the Slide to Power Off bar appear. Slide to turn off your iPhone and then press the Power button again after it's been completely shut down to turn it back on.
To turn off iPhone X, press and hold the Side button and one of the Volume buttons at the same time. And then the Slide to Power Off bar would appear.

3. Reset iPhone Settings

If restarting your iPhone doesn't work, try resetting all the settings on your iPhone. It will only reset the system settings and won't damage your person data like photos and messages.
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap on Reset All Settings.

4. Check for new iOS Updates

Usually if there's a bug in the old version, Apple would have the bug fixed in the latest update. So check and see if there's any update available and update immediately when you can.
Go to Settings>General>Software Update to check for the latest update.

5. Check if you have run out of storage space

One possible reason why you can't take a picture with your camera is that you may have used up your storage space and there's none left for more photos. Go check and see if that's the reason.
Go to Settings>About>Available and see how much space is left on your iPhone.

My phone is freezing offend. Some of my apps won't open even when I take them off and put them back in my phone. Also my new apps are downloading really slowly. I have a 3gs by the way

I used to have an iPhone and my phone froze once before and i couldn't turn it off at all, so my friend showed me a little trick.

If your phone freezes again and cannot turn it off by just the power button, then click the power and home button at the same time.

Then, once you turn it back on, it should be back to normal.

With the apps, if you don't already do this, you need to update them regularly. You can find it in the appstore and it automatically update your apps. It also depends on how big the actual app is. Ex: If you have a 15.3 or 16.3 MB app, then it will be slow 'cause it's bigger than let's say a 5.7 KB app.

If all of your apps are in KB, then it should be working fine.
