Re: InstaCart App

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi,

I have been using Instacart since the pandemic hit in March and we order 
groceries every week.  The app is easy to use and the store personnel are 
cooperative.  The shoppers ask us questions when items are out of stock or not 
good quality and give me a chance to reply with my answer.  The drivers bring 
the groceries to our front door and my husband goes out to get them.  m.  The 
shoppers are nice.  One time one of the items we ordered was missing.  We 
called the support line and they credited our account for the missing item.  It 
could have been misplaced when the items were being rung up.  We are very 
pleased with the service.

Re: Insta-cart Question

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I sometimes received a dimmed response even when I add something to my cart 
after a search but the items are going through.  Maybe it’s something on their 
end.

Hi, Curtis,

is there a way I could get a copy?  I would think the best one would be for the 
NNLS player.  This must have been a pretty tough undertaking.

Re: Instacart

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I usually order from Instacard on my iphone and the thing I learned after my 
first order is to make sure you double=tap in all the places where a button is 
indicated.  You are better off choosing your delivery time when you get to 
checkout.  Sometimes the Instacard app will tell you one time but the one at 
checkout is easier to work with.  I hope things get better.

Re: Changing the tip in the Instacart app

Instacard bases its tipping on what you tipped when you first started using the 
app.   I’m not sure how you can change it.

Re: My Verizon App and Degradation of #Accessibility is it just me?

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Robin,

I started using the myverizon app to pay my bill and at first it seemed easy 
but then it got trickier.  I finally decided to do auto pay so I didn’t have to 
go on the site every month.  It is frustrating that when these sites change, 
the webmasters don’t  realize that it is harder for blind people to figure out 
what to do.   It would be easier if they had a mobile app like Bank of America 
which I use.

Re: Bookshare on the iPhone?

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I believe that you would have to read your books in Voicedream reader.  You can 
download the book share books if you have a Victor Stream which allows you to 
perform this function.

Re: Problem Solved, Guess I like This Phone More Than I Thought

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Bonnie,

I found out by accident that I had lost my Apple Care after having it for two 
years.  The people at Apple Care explained that people can apply after 
purchasing a phone and can request another year at the same time.  However, 
after that, it disappears.  I am on it now because I purchased a new phone.  It 
should be something that people should be able to have all the time but it 
isn’t.

Re: Problem Solved, Guess I like This Phone More Than I Thought

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Bonnie,

I was having trouble with my battery last year and it would normally go down to 
20% before the day was over each day.  I had the battery replaced last December 
but it didn’t work much better.  Since I wanted to have a reliable phone when I 
was going to the NFB convention, I bought a new one.  Do you still have Apple 
Care?  If you do, the cost of the battery should be minimal.

Re: Theme Question: In What Ways Have Apple Products, or Their Related Third-Party Apps, Increased Your Level of Personal Independence?

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi,

Since I started receiving Apple products in 2011, I have become more 
independent and knowledgeable about what they do.  I use my phone with the 
screen only most of the time and like the idea of being able to text to people 
like everyone else.  I enjoy exploring apps and the calendar is a godsend 
because my events appear on my phone and my computer at the same time.  I have 
broadened my music repertoire with the Apple music service and like the idea 
that news items are at our disposal the same time other people receive them.  
Also trying to acquaint myself with apps that use GPS.

Re: WayAround app and identification/labelling system

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Debbie,

I’m interested in finding out more about the Wayaround app.  I listen to Rick’s 
countdown every week and have also listened toyour country show on occasion.  I 
want some kind of labeling system which will be reliable.  I usually pin on 
color tags or buttons but they come off in the washing machine and I get 
confused with colors.  I have been using Tap Tap See and Seeing AI to get the 
colors of clothing items but am not sure if I am doing it accurately.  Any help 
would be appreciated.

Re: Bank America new bill pay function in mobile app

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I had the same problem with the bank of America pays. I will also try the 
wreath finger scrub down. I had called the bank about a month or two ago and 
they claim they would get back to me also and they didn’t. It’s a really 
frustrating thing because the mobile app used to be so easy to use. Let me know 
if they get back to you thank you

Re: Fitbit Question

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Thanks, Peggy.  Thatseems to be what everyone is sayibg.  But I found a  prize 
for the auction at our convention.  QVC had an echo for $69 with the built-in 
speaker.  Auctioning these things off is easier than making a basket and blind 
peole will use them.

Fitbit Question

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hello,

I am looking for a fitbit to auctionoff at our NFB state convention in 
November.  I have the Fitbit Flex and find it only moderately accessible.  Is 
there a model which is more accessible for blind people?  Do you have any idea 
about prices for such items?

Thank you.

Re: Amazon App Problems

[Mary Jo Partyka]

I have also been having problems with the Amazon app.  I usually use it on the 
computer.  It was easier touse before.  Amazon will [probably reply taht they 
have a Disability line but I think the site should be more Accessible and 
compliant.  The disability line should be the last resort.

Re: apple id verification

I also have been getting this message.  I called tech support and the person 
who helped me thought that maybe I was having a problem with my Caps lock not 
working correctly.  We disabled the caps lock and I have to use the shift to 
capitalizwe my password now.  The problem seems to have gone away.
