The trick is very simple. When you have downloaded several apps or games, the home screen adds the corresponding icons. These, however, display a loading index superimposed, signifying the download in progress.
Simply press 3D Touch on one of these downloading apps to bring up different options, including the following: “Give priority to download”. This is the one to select.
Once this is done, all other app downloads will continue.pauseuntil the one prioritized is completed. This allows you to open the targeted app more quickly, before the others. Very practical, if you can't wait to test a new game for example!
Without 3D Touch, handling is much more daunting. You must pause, by pressing each app icon, each of the other downloads individually.
