UITapGestureRecognizer UISwipeGestureRecognizer

Answer 1

The difference is that you can write everything one of the defined UIGestureRecognizer does in UITouch code, but it will be complex and probably buggy, so you have access to some of the most commonly used gestures for free.

A good start is the Apple Event Handling Guide , explaining the difference and the applications of both methods.
