You need to create a IBAction that adds the cross button and wire it to the touchDown event in interface builder. You could probably make a timer that will give it a couple seconds before activating.

Option 2: read about gestureRecognizers, they are very simple and I learned them in a couple hours.

It's pretty straight forward. Use

UILongPressGestureRecognizer

In the methods below write a code for detecting gestures and popping up a delete button.

- (void)handleGesture; //or
- (void)handleGesture:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer;

For deleting use

- (void)removeTarget:(id)target action:(SEL)action
