Is it possible to drag UIView around the iOS screen while it has both image and text? e.g. small cards. Could you point me to the similar (solved) topic? I haven\'t found an

An addition to MHC's answer.

If you don't want the upper left corner of the view to jump under your finger, you can also override touchesBegan like this:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITouch *aTouch = [touches anyObject];

    offset = [aTouch locationInView: self];
}

and change MHC's touchesMoved to:

 -(void) touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
 {
      UITouch *aTouch = [touches anyObject];
      CGPoint location = [aTouch locationInView:self.superview];

      [UIView beginAnimations:@"Dragging A DraggableView" context:nil];
      self.frame = CGRectMake(location.x-offset.x, location.y-offset.y, 
                              self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height);
      [UIView commitAnimations];
  }

you should also define CGPoint offset in the interface:

@interface DraggableView : UIView
{
    CGPoint offset;
}

Arie Litovsky provides more elegant solution that allows you to ditch the ivar: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10378382/653513
