Again, I'm sorry yuou feel I'm rude and obnoxious. Perhaps I should just
leave the list and never again offer my opinion or help. I siply was
stating fact. If I sounded rude, again, it was not my intention, and I do
not appreciate you shaming me publicly as you did. If you have a problem
with me, take it up off list. My e-mail is in my sig on all my e-mails, so
that wouldn't have been too hard. I'm shocked that you are getting the
search results to work as when I double tap any of the results up above
without first hitting search after typing it my query, it then takes me to a
blank page which says no search results found for... the name of the app...
whatever it may wind up being... which I double tapped. But then, if I
don't go that route, but instead I hit the actual search icon after typing
my key words in, then I'm presented with that screen I mentioned where you
only get one app card per page/screen, and what I seem to be observing is
that if I 3 finger flick up I do notice the page does actually scroll. I
have enough vision to see this... not enough to read the screen, but as long
as I'm on inverted colors, I can definitely tell the screen visually is
indeed moving. The problem is, I don't seem to see that Voiceover is
properly tracking when I move. It's almost like unless I scroll manually
with the 3 finger gesture, it only reads the first little bit of the first
result, then it jumps me down to the bottom tabs like featured, charts,
genius, etc. It actually quite bizarre. I did manage to get ahold of Apple
accessibility via phone, and spoke to a guy, who ironically's name also is
Chris. Go figure. Anyway, he was really really really nice, and extremely
helpful. He did something I've found most advisors not to do. He actually
went and got both an IPad mini, as well as an IPad 3rd gen both from the
test lab, and turned Voiceover on with both of them, and he and I together
both went through on my two devices, as well as the two lab devices. Across
all four devices, we were able on every one of them to reproduce exactly the
same problem. So, yeah, I don't doubt that it's working for you. I just
wish that I knew more specifically what, if anything, you're doing
differently.
Again, I'm incredibly frustrated. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh, or
in your words obnoxious, but do me a favor. I'll try to tone it down a bit,
but I'm going to in return ask not just you, but that anyone who has an
issue with what I say, write me off list. NO one needs to hear the drama of
you're rude your this, your that. Maybe I was very very rude, and maybe
even very harsh. Hell, fine, I'll even go so far to say maybe even I over
reacted. I don't think I did personally, but it's perception, and if you
feel I did, then that's what matters. I'd like thus to be the man here, and
say I truely apologize. NO really, I do. It wasn't my intention to offend
you, nor anyone else on list. Though that sounds hard to believe, my
ententions were, and still are good. It's just that when I see companies
like Apple who have things up front that work, then I see them do things
which break them, ok, it's one thing if they break things in updates once in
a while, but look at it this way: when I O S 6.0 first came out, right
before it did, in the Gold Master, the app store was really! broken, and I
mean bad! bad! broken! So much so, it almost was totally unusable. Well it
took David from over at Applevis, to breach N D A and drop the bombshell
which at the time, I felt was totally! inappropriate, but looking back on it
now, I'm glad he did what he did. Anyway, it took him doing that, then
letting Apple know he did it totally intentionally, plus it took about 80 to
90 comments on that thread to finally make Apple wake up, and go, oh, crap!
Maybe we should fix this before our official release. It seems like they're
willing to fix things, yes, but only if we push them to drastic measures to
do so. In my book, that doesn't really show commitment. That shows
laziness/carelessness.
Again, it's my opinion, and I am sticking to it. You don't have to agree
with it, that's your right, but the bottom line is, I'm not trying to take
it and make rude comments off of it. It's not exactly my problem if you
feel that I am being rude. I said I was sorry, but I can't say anything
more. If an apology isn't enough, then I don't know what is left to tell
you, but let me leave you with one more thing: you chose in the first place
to respond to this topic on list. You didn't *have!* to do that. If you
felt I was being rude, then why did you waist your energy giving more to it?
NO offense.
OK, enough with the drama. that's all that I have left to say. If anyone's
got any further sticks or stones they wanna throw at me, do it off list!
[email protected]
is my address.
This isn't the public place to bash other list members, and before you say
more, I am not bashing anyone else either, or at least not purposefully.
I'm not even bashing Apple. I'm just stating my opinion very affirmatively,
and very strongly. I'm sorry if you can't take the honest truth. I will
say though that I speak how I see it. You may not like me for it, but just
as you have a right to your opinion, I have a right to mine, case closed.
OK, now? as you said in your mail, I! am done, and, I rest my case once and
final for all!
