Hi,

I think you might have sent this to the wrong list. This is a list for
blind iphone users and is global.

Re: NFL audio

[James English]

Hello,

The situation in the UK with nfl audio remains extremely hit and miss.
Some teams (the Vikings, bucs and ravens for example) stream their
games, but getting the Giants audio remains very unreliable. Oddly
there's a radio station over here that does every Jets game for some
reason.
If anyone has any experience with nfl plus outside of the US (with a
vpn or without) I'd love to hear about it.

Hi,

The messenger service itself is certainly not down, I'm using it on my
computer right now. The messenger app may be another story.

Re: Embarrassing question.

[James English]

Hi Jenny,

I assume you have a reason for taking this point of view? I'm a single
gay man who uses voiceover on my phone and would love to find a dating
app aimed at the lgbt community that is accessible, however so few
dating apps make any attempt to be; the stereotype that disabled
people don't date seems to ring true with the devs and sadly the
attitude you've displayed here only serves to play into it. In the
modern world, there is an app for almost every aspect of life. I have
an app which I use to place bets on sports matches, an app I use to
find beer that I might like, and I've tried apps for dating; these are
all things that some people have issues with however I don't have the
slightest guilt about using them. I am 25 years old and can take the
risks and spend my money how I wish, so long as it's not hurting other
people. If discussions about dating apps are welcome on mainstream
iphone websites (note: they are) it's absolutely fine here as well!

Re: [External] RE: NFL audio on the iPhone

Hi,

Tunein have sent me a promotional email to get me to sign up (to a
service I'm already signed up to) in order to listen to every nfl
game.
Your guess which one is correct is as good as mine.

Re: NFL stream service

[James English]

Well, raiders games are easy to listen to (including the hall of fame
game) given they have a live radio player on their website. Since the
NFL hasn't 'cracked down' on that (tampa do it as well I believe) I'm
not sure why they don't all have that feature. Now that'd make things
so much easier.

Re: 2022 Season NFL audio

[James English]

Hi,

It's not any easier on the web interface either. I have attempted to
subscribe using 3 different browsers (win 10, jaws 2021)
Chrome:
no buttons worked, clicked regularly and was taken nowhere.
IE:
Signup button didn't even show for a while, and then when finally
appeared same result as chrome.
Firefox: Was taken to a checkout page which simply read 'secure
checkout' with no further information.

All wonderfully designed.

It's great to see American companies really caring about their

Re: NFL stream service

[James English]

Hello James,

Thanks for writing to us. Due to rights restrictions in North America,
content provided by the NFL is no longer available with TuneIn
Premium. However, you will be able to listen to all prime time games
for free. Additionally, certain stations will broadcast live game
coverage to in-market listeners for free. You’ll still have access to
tons of free football content including in-depth team coverage,
national sports talk, as well as top football podcasts.

We love that users are passionate about certain content, and we’re
truly sorry when this happens.

Thanks for understanding,
​

Re: NFL stream service

[James English]

I also have a radio, however since I live in England and follow the
Giants that won't work.

It looks like dodgy streams for me if tunein is no longer covering it.

Re: NFL stream service

[James English]

Hi,
That's available, but I've not seen anything suggesting they're
carrying it this time around.
What I'd really like is a sirius xm radio subscription, however you
need a US address to register one. Might hit up my American friends to
try and get one again.

Re: NFL stream service

[James English]

Hello,

Since nfl+ and sirius xm are unavailable internationally, does anyone
have a suggestion for a service I could use to stream nfl audio in the
UK? I seem to have this question every year now, with it constantly
changing.

Re: My Siri Isn't Working

[James English]

Hi Esther,

For some reason, siri doesn't talk to you if the phone is muted. With
the way the phones mute button works you don't always know if it is,
particularly if it's in a case which might occasionally touch it.
Could this be what's going on?

a little worrying from a privacy standpoint.

Re: spotify totally broken accessibility in their music share department

Spotify seems to have decided that the way they did apps in the past
is no longer good enough for them. The pc app is now worse but still
can be used.

Re: looking for an accessible listing for sirius xm channels.

[James English]

Hi all,

On the subject of Sirius xm, does anybody know of a way of getting it
in the UK? They've taken over tunein's nfl and nba broadcast rights
and finding radio streaming for those is becoming more of a pain every
year.

Re: Apple getting cheap

Hi Simon,

The things that you've mentioned are not things I think about, because
for the most part (pandemic, climate change, gun crime) I couldn't
care less about them. I care about things that'll affect me, and
having to pay extra money is one of those things.

 Either way though, it's not like not having the charger included is
 going to be a make or break decision for anyone who was thinking of
 buying an iPhone. Just more nickel and diming from Apple.

Re: zoom accessibility

[James English]

Zoom is so easy to use with voiceover (and jaws on windows) that it
seemed like it was designed for blind people. It's been a long time
since I've found a more accessible modern app.

Re: Warning, political article link included concerning disabled person's receiving Social Security

[James English]

Hello,

It might be worth noting that the source isn't rated as a credible
news source by independent fact checkers, openly campaigns for the
democratic party and has raised money for them in the past. It might
be worth taking it with a large pinch of salt.

Re: siri quit saying things regarding sports

[James English]

Hi,

This seems to be a problem with all the virtual assistants. Alexa will
tell you the score but won't tell you who scored, instead insisting
that 'nobody has scored a touchdown.' The saints-chargers game
finished 30-27, that's a lot of field goals.

Re: audio Stream of NFL Games

[James English]

Hello,

Not an app but I use freefootballradio.com.
You usually have to play around to find one that's streaming, but you
usually will find one for whichever team you want. I'm not sure about
the bills though as I'm pretty sure they have a small radio network.

Re: Has Anyone Ordered From Little Caesars Pizza Before

[James English]

Hi,

All I can say is that Americans really need just-eat. Thankfully that
website/app is very accessible. I don't use dominos because they
refuse to make their app accessible, so I'll order from a local pizza
place instead.
Of course I could ring in, but they also refuse to allow their online
offers to be used over the phone, and I don't see why I should have to
pay extra.

Hello,

Best thing to do when you have an issue with a pizza place not giving
you a discount if you order on the phone is have a law degree. It
really helps!

Re: How do you video call with Facebook or Facebook messenger on your iPhone

[James English]

Hello,

You use facebook messenger. Go into the app, and assuming you're sign
in navigate to the people screen to find the person you want to talk
to. Double tap on the correct person, and then, swiping right from the
top left (so the first thing you come across is the back button) you
will find buttons for both voice and video calling.

Hope this helps,
- James

That's exactly what I am thinking. Bluetooth is pretty slow, so the

Re: Accessible app for your iPhone that will let you lock your screen and still be streaming content?

Screen time is possible, but since you can't set up separate profiles
on the phone you would have to manually enable and disable everything
each time.

Re: getting phone calls from myself?

Don't answer them, they're known to be a scam.

Re: Iphone On Airline

[James English]

Hi,

I don't know of any sort of rules that ban aftershocks on aircraft,
that would be odd but airlines do so love weird rules. However, I'd
use standard headphones purely for noise-cancelling purposes.

Re: Has any one experienced the bug where you hang up a face time call and you loose all speech

[James English]

Hi,

I have found a workaround for this issue. When this happens to me, I
find it works if you go into app switcher and scroll an inordinate
amounts of times right (just to make sure you are on the last app) and
close it. Voiceover tends to return if I do that.

Hope this helps,
- James

It would be more of a problem if the paratransit people used a

Re: Silence Unknown Callers is great!

[James English]

Hi,

I think this is a pretty dangerous idea honestly. What if you have
people relying on you (older parents, children etc) and they lose
their phone or need to make a reverse call because of some sort of
emergency?

Hi,

What I guess I mean is how accurate is it? When blind square says
street is right in front of me, am I right at the curb, or will their
be slight turns and tiny side streets that aren't spoken?

Re: Blind square

[James English]

Hi,

How useful is blindsquare in an unfamiliar place, especially a very
busy one? If I am in say, the royal mile, and want to walk back to my
house around 1.5 miles away (I have no clue of the directions), could
blindsquare and apple maps get me there safely? With a cane, of
course.

Re: Major Spotify Issue

[James English]

Hi,

You don't hit return. There's a search button, return just goes onto a
new line. If it's pretty obvious what it's searching for though
Spotify will bring it up in suggested search results before you even
hit search.

Re: What is a VPN and how does it relate to community Wi-Fi

[James English]

Nord is inaccessible.

If it will work, I would recommend vypr. I used it, and it was
accessible, until it suddenly stopped working on my computer. I think
that's my computer though, as the app itself is totally accessible.

Re: What is a VPN and how does it relate to community Wi-Fi

[James English]

The torguard vpn app works fine, save from the fact that you can't
select a server for some reason (you know, the bit that should be the

Re: Pureflix and Accessibility on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV

Hi,

Somebody informed me that VidAngel offered a similar service? Being as
anti-censorship as I am, I wouldn't know however, but you might want
to check it out.

Hello,

The speaker sound issue, if it is at the top of the phone, can be
fixed with blue tack.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

[James English]

I'm really surprised to here how little acceptance everybody has had
with apple pay in America. I have been able to use it nearly
everywhere in the UK, the same as I would a normal contactless card.
The only places I've been which don't accept apple pay are the places
with very old card readers, that also don't accept contactless either.

 I read the Apple news brief about their announced Apple Card today
 and am curious what others on the list think about it. I'll say up
 front that my interest in credit cards and similar financial vehicles
 is first their widespread acceptance at the places I hsop and second
 the amount of rewards I'm able to earn when using them. To recap the
 rewards paid by the new Apple Card:

 1.Items purchased directly
 from Apple using the card earn 3% rewards.

 2.Items purchased from other
 places using the card with ApplePay earn 2% rewards.

 3.Items purchased using the
 physical Apple Card without ApplePay earn 1% rewards.

 I'm pretty sure I've stated the above correctly but please chime in
 if your understanding is different.

 I know we have members from all over the world but my experience in
 the USA with ApplePay hasn't been what I'd call wide acceptance. In
 fact, Since ApplePay has existed, I've only been able to use it a
 handful of times at either a McDonald's or Walgreens. So while I
 agree that 2% rewards for use of the Apple Card is pretty generous,
 I'm not convinced it will be realizable at the places I shop unless
 ApplePay becomes accepted in a lot more places than it currently is.

 I'm curious what others on the list think about the Apple Card. I
 understand about companies needing to expand their product offerings
 in order to generate more revenue but I can't say Apple's efforts to
 expand into News, media entertainment production, and financial
 services generates a feeling of confidence for me.

[James English]

Hello,

I don't have a guide dog, but uber's customer service has always been
very good for me. At university, I live in a large block of
accommodation so it has a large car park, which is difficult for a
totally-blind person to negotiate. For this reason, I just...don't; I
ask the driver to come out of his vehicle and to the door, where I
meet him and he takes me to the car. When the driver doesn't do that I
get my cancelation fee refunded usually within the hour.

Hello,

My iPhone 6s, which I got in 2015 for a farely cheap contract price,
has lasted me faithfully for 3 and a half years now. They said it
wasn't a referb model, but I don't know, the first message on it is
'welcome to Macedonia,' where I've never been though.

My Dad has had to change his Samsung galaxy 3 times in that period due
to it giving out on him.

Re: My 2018 Top Favorite Apps for iOS

[James English]

Hi

I love tunein premium, because it's very simple to get nfl/nba/ncaa
games on, which is often a pain in the UK. If you can find a discount
code (usually very easy), it's only $40 as well, so really good value
compared to the nfl and nba's ridiculously-priced subscriptions.

Re: IOS 12 not yet downloaded to my phone`

[James English]

Hello,

I'm clicking download and install on my 6s, but when I do, the button
dimbs out for a few seconds then goes back with no visible difference
being made. Do I need to clear space or something? It's plugged in and
connected to wifi.

Re: Crazy afternoon on Thursday

[James English]

Hi,

I like the advertising, I'm just talking about the alerts. Sometimes
mcdonalds and burger king specials for particular football games are
valid in the UK, and it can be fun if I'm bored to get someone
investigating why a particular football player scoring a touchdown
means a place in Scotland needs to give me free food.

Re: Crazy afternoon on Thursday

[James English]

I do wish they were disable-able.
When watching nba games, it's not that I don't care about some missing
child, really I hope he/she is found safe and well, comes to no harm
etc. But I'm unlikely to be any help 4000 miles away in Scotland,
while that child is in Texas.
