Sequential selections are presented by receiving an input on an active portion of a display of the computing device. While the input is received, a plurality of selections are sequentially displayed on the display. An indication is received that the input on the active portion of the display of the computing device has changed. In response to receiving the indication that the input has changed, the computing device stops presenting the plurality of selections and determines which selection of the plurality of selections was presented on the display when the input changed. The determined selection is then displayed.

Sequential selection presentation

When a user taps and holds a selection on a touchscreen display, such as a 'buy' button, an action occurs. Subsequently, when the user releases the button (or performs some other action), another action initiates or occurs. The other action may depend on when the user releases the button, where the user moves a finger to on the display, information about the user, and/or the display or information on the device when the button is released. After the button is released, other selections or actions may be presented on the touchscreen sequentially such that the user can release the hold to choose the selection or on one screen such that the user can move to the desired selection for review and/or editing.
