Re: Downloading apps stuck on waiting...

Had all these problems, but the solution by TylerDurden777 worked: Go to updates tab located in the "App Store" icon.  Select the app that is stuck installing.  It brings you to the app details, reviews, etc. 

Then click on the app icon located at the top left of the screen.  When you do this it places the app icon onto your home screen.  Click on the app again that has been placed on the home screen and it should start installing. (If you already had the app on the home screen you may be able to skip straight to this step, but in my case, the app icon was missing thought it was trying to install.)

Or, after you have added the app to your home screen, you can delete it (press, hold till jiggles, then tap the X). That will delete the hung install process, but without the app.

Later, if you wish, you can redownload. It will ask about purchase, but when you say "yes" it will figure out you have already purchased and give it to you free.

In my case, it is possible that out of date credit card info was involved in the hang, though I doubt it.
