Re: A roomba 980 app question:

[Ryan Dour]

Nice. I have an old Roomba 350, I've been using it since 2009 and it keeps my 
apartment clean. I didn't realize they had a new model that has an app.

How accessible is the app? What can you accomplish in the app, and what can the 
app do that you cannot accomplish due to accessibility issues? I'd probably 
upgrade to an app enabled model ASAP if it turns out to be accessible.

Thanks,
Ryan

 Hi Keith,
 I did that. And I did come up with a list of movies. But I know it is not

 did not show up in the list when I did my search. I thought maybe there 
 would be a "more" button or something that would let me see more pages of 
 results. But I didn't find one. On my iPhone 7 Plus, if I search for audio 
 description and then have movies and hit the sea all button, there are 
 seven pages. And the movie I bought, blindside, is not there. But if you

 by the way, in case someone is interested. I haven't watched it yet, but I 
 assume if it says it's audio described, it is
