RE: Family Sharing with Voice Dream Subscription

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Don't think there is anything you need to do, however, not all apps with 
subscription pricing support family sharing. It is my understanding you 
subscribe directly with Voice Dream and not via the App Store? If so I assume  
you may have to use the credentials you used to purchase the subscription to 
log in on both devices. If you did buy the subscription via in-app purchase 
through the App Store, here is what Apple says about Family Sharing (first the 
text, then also the link as the article includes link which describe how to 
enable various family sharing features):



About Family Sharing for In-App Purchases

Family Sharing makes it easy for you and up to five family members to share 
purchases of some of your favorite apps. In addition, some apps now let you 
share subscriptions and other in-app purchases. Before you can share a 
subscription, you must enable Family Sharing. For step-by-step instructions on 
enabling Family Sharing, follow this link.

How to share a subscription

Go to your Apple ID in Settings and tap Subscriptions. You’ll see a list of all 
your active subscriptions; tap on the one you would like to share to see all of 
the subscription options.

If the subscription is shareable, you will see a Share with Family option. 
Select the option to enable the subscription for sharing with your family.

How to share other in-app purchases

On the Family Sharing page, select the Purchase Sharing option, which will 
allow you to share eligible in-app purchases. Be sure that Share Purchases with 
Family is enabled under Purchase Sharing. If you have any in-app purchases that 
you do not wish to share, you can disable sharing by hiding the app in My 
Purchases. Note: Not all in-app purchases are shareable.



Here the link:

About Family Sharing for In-App 
Purchases<https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1542695115>

Re: Family Sharing with Voice Dream Subscription

[Ivan Icin]

Unfortunately the App Store is deceiving regarding this.

It will display the logo if any of in-app purchases or subscriptions 
supports this.

So it is entirely possible that what you reported is correct - there are 
other in-app purchases from the old version of the app that have Family 
sharing set to on, which is enough to enable displaying of the logo in the 
App Store.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Richard Turner]

Ivan, you continually take things out of context. I said at $100 it would be too much. But, according to an article posted on the Tech VI list f Perkins Institute, Voice Dream costs $60, which I said is worth it given its excellent features. Go fix your app and come back when you have it ready. Richard, USA.“What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do” ~ John RuskinMy web site: https://www.turner42.comOn Jul 7, 2023, at 4:31 PM, Ivan Icin  wrote:As there have been many comments, I can't reply to every message specifically, that would take this thread too far.I don't accept the comments from people that haven't tried my app for at least a day and put random claims on it to support Richard. That is fair I believe.Further I do understand that people that have paid 15$ few years ago aren't particularly motivated to switch to Speech Central, and I don't blame them for that. They don't need to pay anything to use Voice Dream Reader, they have got used to its design and that is OK. I just blame people that are robbing the community. It isn't illegal for Richard to hide that there are other apps than Voice Dream Reader (not even mention their name ever so that no one can check) and it isn't illegal to say that people must pay 100$/year to have a decent experience if they are blind. However that is a lie to rob the community in favor of Voice Dream Reader and I will call the things with proper words and stand for that, no matter what. I am not able evaluate his overall work and it certainly has some positive aspects and it is great if he has helped people, but this is a proper and precise wording if we talk about this specific situation.My app is recommended all over the world now by many blind organizations and I get new mails almost daily for things like people asking to translate the app to their own language to support the blind community in their country. It must be a very bad app. Again I have never said that it is perfect and I am happy to receive criticism that is beyond bulling.And it is easy to check how much Voice Dream Reader costs, even Richard has explicitly confirmed everything that I have said regarding that when it wasn't in short form (to be precise it is now usually 80$/year, but it can be 100$/year for some people). But if you prefer to live in the world where it costs 60$/year, I guess it is your own right to do so, but that tells quite a bit on everything.Finally Richard claims that Voice Dream Reader costs too much now, I am willing to make for free to the blind people everything that they may need and improve my app that way, but he has pretty much put middle finger in his answer to me. And he still does that as far as I can say. If he decides to say that at least in some state he will recommend Speech Central as the best app and specify what is that, I will hold off my claim that he is a liar that robs the community and apologies for that. Until then I really don't have any indication that he is something else and I can't use any other words.

I appreciate the enthusiasm you have for your app, Ivan. However, your attitude and what you said about richard is so far off base that I cannot take you seriously.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

Finally as one user wanted to put my reputation in question when compared 
to Richard's I would like to mention few facts that are easy to verify.

I have put 10 years of my life in building Speech Central. On top of that I 
decided to give away Speech Central for free to this community (other 
people have to pay for unlimited use). As such I don't earn a dime if any 
of you use Speech Central, I only get a feeling that I helped somebody.

I haven't followed this group for all years, but I did for a few months and 
all useful tips that I have seen from Richard were in the role of salesman 
of an app that costs 100$/year. If you feel like that those few posts were 
more worth than 10 years of my work that I gave away for free to you, it is 
fine, I got used to that by now that some people act like that just I have 
to point on the gross level of unfairness in that case.

I understand that my app is not perfect and I am willing to improve 
everything, but I hope that there is a difference between someone who 
spends his time in making a product that could be helpful to you and gives 
you that for free and someone who is recently just making posts to justify 
that the same app that cost 15$ for lifetime few years ago is now worth 
100$/year and should be paid that much. Again, I wouldn't mind if he said 
that it is worth to consider that app at that price and that he prefers it, 
that is fair, but he trashes my app in a mean and dishonest way. I can 
document that "mean and dishonest" if it is required.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

Just to add that when I say to swipe up more than twice, it is because one 
swipe raises speed ratio for 0.1x. Moving from 1.0x to 1.1x may not be 
particularly notable but it certainly works.

On AppleVis forums I have implemented most of the suggestions within one 
week from the suggestion, so I am open to suggestions, as said constructive 
criticism is welcome. Just I am looking for people that actually want to 
use the app, not the critics that just want to show their loyalty to Voice 
Dream Reader by spending 1 minute in Speech Central saying what they didn't 
like (frequently inaccurate) and never giving a chance to fix their 
problems. I think that it is reasonable.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

First to Richard, no you were not clear in your answer that it works 
properly on Voice Dream Reader. If that was clear I would answer 
differently. However you can hear that even people here confirm here that 
it works and assume that you simply didn't want to swipe more than twice to 
hear that it is speeding up - or there is something extremely unique with 
your device that no other user has. I agree that it would be better if 
there was audio feedback on the speed value, so you would know that it is 
speeding up and how much is speeding up.

To another user that said that he finds it frustrating that the app doesn't 
do anything when it is not playing and speed is being adjusted, I do agree 
that the experience could be better in this use case, as answered to 
Richard audio feedback of what is happening would be an improvement, no 
doubt.

You can always pay 100$/year if you want this to work slightly better, and 
I don't say anything wrong to anyone who decides to do that. The reality is 
that most people (and especially schools) won't do that and Speech Central 
is currently the only path forward for this community. And you may put as 
much stones as you like on me or you may be constructive and help it 
improve so that future generations can have a good tool in education. Voice 
Dream Reader isn't that anymore (even if we skip price most schools reject 
every subscription based app for the simple reason that it doesn't fit in 
Apple's software for school administrators) and it was their decision to 
position them that way.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

 button is focused with VoiceOver you should hear 'adjustable', which means that you can swipe up and down to do something. In this case it is to increase the current speed (this way you can customise the value of both standard and high speed depending on the state of that button). This is also available in the Settings where you can find sliders to customize those two values (and that is the only way you can adjust those values for those that don't use VoiceOver)For the navigation the story is a bit more complex as this is a bit more different than VDR, but in some way it may be even more capable. You need to be aware of those layers:- navigation is at the high level accommodated to be of maximal use with headphones and other audio devices (there are tactile audio commands on all Apple's headphones and most of the 3rd party ones). As such it is based on multiple standard audio commands and some their gestures. As I side note I find somewhat strange that people with eyesight to some extent prefer to use the app with headphones while blind people that are not in any way handicapped in using the headphones and are to some extent handicapped in using the screen extremely prefer to use the screen and I don't have any explanation for that - even as I have asked few blind people for the feedback. However I try to support every use case the best it can be so the app is certainly useful in that way too.- every standard audio command (play/pause, skip forward, skip backword, next, previous) and gesture (quick press of the volume up and then volume down button or quick press of the volume down and then volume up button) can be customised in the app's Settings to execute any of the commands that you have mentioned (like going to the next paragraph, sentence, etc).Assuming that you are using the screen and not the headphones one question would be where to find / how to use those audio commands on the screen. So here is a general overview:- if VoiceOver is focused on the Play/Pause button you will hear that it is 'adjustable'. In this context means that if you swipe up or down it will issue audio command skip forward/backward- Previous and next buttons are visible on the toolbar (and on the bigger screens like iPads or landscape on bigger iPhones you will see also skip forward and backward buttons- If you use the screen you can certainly press the volume down and very quickly volume up button (or opposite) to execute some navigation command that you have set for those gestures- Page indicator is adjustable control too, so you can swipe up or down there to navigate pages (but this works only on PDFs, other formats don't have built-in page definitions - at the moment I am not sure for DAISY as it has that information but I can't remember if there is the logic to extract it).

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

OK,

for the speed when that standard/high speed button is focused with 
VoiceOver you should hear 'adjustable', which means that you can swipe up 
and down to do something. In this case it is to increase the current speed 
(this way you can customise the value of both standard and high speed 
depending on the state of that button). This is also available in the 
Settings where you can find sliders to customize those two values (and that 
is the only way you can adjust those values for those that don't use 
VoiceOver)

For the navigation the story is a bit more complex as this is a bit more 
different than VDR, but in some way it may be even more capable. You need 
to be aware of those layers:
- navigation is at the high level accommodated to be of maximal use with 
headphones and other audio devices (there are tactile audio commands on all 
Apple's headphones and most of the 3rd party ones). As such it is based on 
multiple standard audio commands and some their gestures. As I side note I 
find somewhat strange that people with eyesight to some extent prefer to 
use the app with headphones while blind people that are not in any way 
handicapped in using the headphones and are to some extent handicapped in 
using the screen extremely prefer to use the screen and I don't have any 
explanation for that - even as I have asked few blind people for the 
feedback. However I try to support every use case the best it can be so the 
app is certainly useful in that way too.
- every standard audio command (play/pause, skip forward, skip backword, 
next, previous) and gesture (quick press of the volume up and then volume 
down button or quick press of the volume down and then volume up button) 
can be customised in the app's Settings to execute any of the commands that 
you have mentioned (like going to the next paragraph, sentence, etc).

Assuming that you are using the screen and not the headphones one question 
would be where to find / how to use those audio commands on the screen. So 
here is a general overview:
- if VoiceOver is focused on the Play/Pause button you will hear that it is 
'adjustable'. In this context means that if you swipe up or down it will 
issue audio command skip forward/backward
- Previous and next buttons are visible on the toolbar (and on the bigger 
screens like iPads or landscape on bigger iPhones you will see also skip 
forward and backward buttons
- If you use the screen you can certainly press the volume down and very 
quickly volume up button (or opposite) to execute some navigation command 
that you have set for those gestures
- Page indicator is adjustable control too, so you can swipe up or down 
there to navigate pages (but this works only on PDFs, other formats don't 
have built-in page definitions - at the moment I am not sure for DAISY as 
it has that information but I can't remember if there is the logic to 
extract it). This is visible on most modern devices, except on iPhone SE 
variants

The app has a help document in the Extras tab, it is also available online

I used to use this as well. I stopped using it when I started having trouble 
importing my media from One Drive. Since I already had Voice Dream Reader, and 
they added One Drive support, I switched and haven’t looked back. I will say 
that the issue with One Drive and Audio Book may be unique to me and not a 
global issue.

transfer but also plays M4B audiobooks. You can read all the details in the

Hi Leo,

What apps allow for wi-fi transfer?

I have WaltrPro which allows this.  I don't recommend WaltrPro because the 
price is unreasonable now and they have never done a thing about accessibility. 
 I figured out how to use WaltrPro but it is tedious at best.

I know someone who transfers files to VDR through iTunes, but that is even more 
tedious in my opinion.

I'd be curious about other apps that allow for wi-fi transfer.

Thanks,



Richard, USA.

Richard, you said:
I would be fine if I had to start paying $59.99 per year.
I think it is by far the best reading app on the market today.

I agree with you, but if the were to be the case, I would also like to see 
further improvements  in the app, such as the ability to play M4B books, and 
transferring books to the app via Web browser using a wifi connection. These 
are characteristics that other similar apps  already have.

I just wonder if that price was for the Mac version or the iOS version.  If for 
the iOS version, that is too high in my opinion.

I've let the owners know that.
I personally feel that $59.99 per year would be reasonable.
I have used the app since at least version 2 and have been a beta tester for 
Winston Chen for at least 10 years and even though I purchased the app at the 
one time purchase deal, I would be fine if I had to start paying $59.99 per 
year.
I think it is by far the best reading app on the market today.

I am not impressed with Bookshare's new BookShare Reader app.  Nor am I very 
impressed with the DAISY Easy Reader app.

At this point I am not sure to what you refer to, but if you refer to reviews 
they are on the iOS version of the app and they are very recent, like just few 
days ago.

So at least some people were asked to pay 100$/year recently in the iOS app.

Well, you are correct, of course.  At least, mostly.

However, the subscription started while Winston Chen owned Voice Dream Reader 
for the Mac computers only.

Winston was going to add the subscription to the iOS version, but he sold the 
company before he did that.
So, the Applause group implemented the subscription model for all versions.

So, if someone was asked to pay $100 last year, that would likely have been the 
Mac version.

At least, that is what I understand and I could of course be wrong.

RE: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Richard Turner]

Can you explain:

1.  How to adjust the speed on the fly while reading?

 

2.  How to navigate by sentence, paragraph, page, heading, or bookmark?

 

Is there an instruction guide?  I will give it more time.

 

The only adjusting of the speed I can find is between standard and high speed.  
Not terribly useful for me.

Richard,

 

First thanks for trying the app, I really appreciate it.

 

Second it is reasonable that you can be as proficient in few minutes as the app 
that you were using for more than 10 years.

 

So if you say for the speed change, yes you can change the speed with VoiceOver 
gestures from the main screen. As it is done from the speed button I think it 
is fairly straightforward, though again it is reasonable that some might not 
discover that in few minutes.

 

I haven't fully understand what way of navigating you wanted to make, but 
preliminary I don't think that your explanation is correct in any use case.

 

As such I cannot underestimate your effort to try the app and even provide some 
positive elements of feedback. Still my app has options to use Neural voices 
that are like 10 years ahead of anything in Voice Dream Reader, many other 
options that that app doesn't have and simply calling it a cheap option for 
someone who doesn't have the money to pay doesn't sound right. Again nothing 
wrong if you prefer Voice Dream Reader for whatever reason - even if you just 
got used to it, but I don't find that statement as proper. Just for the record 
I know multiple blind users that have switched from Voice Dream Reader to 
Speech Central as they find it better for various reasons even as they have 
already paid the license. Some are using both for various use cases, as said 
there are many things that Voice Dream Reader (or Speech Central if you look 
from another perspective) cannot do.

 

I can fully agree only on the limited Bookshare support though, but it started 
with enthusiasm on both sides and ended few months later when those people that 
approved my partnership left Bookshare and those that came didn't even want to 
reply most of the time... As such it is still where it was like 5 years ago and 
it certainly left some things to desire.

Ivan,

I just spent some time with Speech Central. To be completely honest, it is 
rather clunky to find a book on Bookshare, but that could be lived with. 

The fact that it cannot seem to navigate easily without having to stop and use 
the navigation button is a drawback. Also, not being able to change the reading 
speed on the fly. 

But, for those who cannot afford Voice Dream Reader, I can see why you get very 
good reviews.

Just to note that there are also few other apps that are Bookshare partners. I

Hi Leo,

 

What apps allow for wi-fi transfer?

 

I have WaltrPro which allows this.  I don't recommend WaltrPro because the 
price is unreasonable now and they have never done a thing about accessibility. 
 I figured out how to use WaltrPro but it is tedious at best.

 

I know someone who transfers files to VDR through iTunes, but that is even more 
tedious in my opinion.

 

I'd be curious about other apps that allow for wi-fi transfer.

 

Thanks,

Richard, you said:

I just wonder if that price was for the Mac version or the iOS version.  If for 
the iOS version, that is too high in my opinion.

 

I've let the owners know that.

I personally feel that $59.99 per year would be reasonable.

I have used the app since at least version 2 and have been a beta tester for 
Winston Chen for at least 10 years and even though I purchased the app at the 
one time purchase deal, I would be fine if I had to start paying $59.99 per 
year.

I think it is by far the best reading app on the market today.

 

I am not impressed with Bookshare's new BookShare Reader app.  Nor am I very 
impressed with the DAISY Easy Reader app.

At this point I am not sure to what you refer to, but if you refer to reviews 
they are on the iOS version of the app and they are very recent, like just few 
days ago.

 

So at least some people were asked to pay 100$/year recently in the iOS app.

Winston was going to add the subscription to the iOS version, but he sold the 
company before he did that.

So, the Applause group implemented the subscription model for all versions.

 

So, if someone was asked to pay $100 last year, that would likely have been the 
Mac version.  

 

At least, that is what I understand and I could of course be wrong.

Richard,

Thanks for the question. 

Just to note that there are also few other apps that are Bookshare 
partners. I am aware of Capti Voice, but there should be some more I think. 

Again every app has its pros and cons and I always encourage people to try 
all of them and find the one that suits them the best. Especially in this 
community as my work in this domain is completely non-profit and I don’t 
have any direct benefits if someone decides to use my app (and the only 
indirect benefit is that I may get some more reviews on the App Store). 

Speaking of that I am happy if someone decides to try my app Speech Central

Richard,

 

regarding the subscription price, I am not sure if they currently sell both 
apps as part of the subscription or each app has its own subscription, as far 
as I know it is price for both apps. Which may make it a better deal for those 
that have a Mac, but many people may not have the Mac.

 

Regarding the Bookshare, as a Bookshare developer partner I can say that they 
are very hostile to any other app than the ones that you have mentioned, for 
whatever reason.

 

So I can say at the moment that my app does support Bookshare, has a feature 
set that is at least in some aspects better than Voice Dream (and it is 
individual who will love/need mode what, but overall it should have more 
features if you count them) and is completely free for the blind people.

 

But as said Bookshare is very hostile to other apps. At this point I can say 
that I prepare updates for my app for November that will in most aspects double 
the feature set and move experience ahead probably more than cumulative update 
of any other apps for the last 5 years or even more. At that point it should be 
without much argue the best app out there. As the app is rewritten from the 
scratch it doesn't make sense to reinvest into the Bookshare support at the 
current usage. So I have just asked them for their confirmation that they will 
promote my app as they promote other apps (which it should deserve even without 
the update). Thus far no answer. And considering the history, I don't expect 
any.

Richard, you said:

I would be fine if I had to start paying $59.99 per year.

I think it is by far the best reading app on the market today.

 

I agree with you, but if the were to be the case, I would also like to see 
further improvements  in the app, such as the ability to play M4B books, and 
transferring books to the app via Web browser using a wifi connection. These 
are characteristics that other similar apps  already have.

 

Best,

I just wonder if that price was for the Mac version or the iOS version.  If for 
the iOS version, that is too high in my opinion.

 

I've let the owners know that.

I personally feel that $59.99 per year would be reasonable.

I have used the app since at least version 2 and have been a beta tester for 
Winston Chen for at least 10 years and even though I purchased the app at the 
one time purchase deal, I would be fine if I had to start paying $59.99 per 
year.

I think it is by far the best reading app on the market today.

 

I am not impressed with Bookshare's new BookShare Reader app.  Nor am I very 
impressed with the DAISY Easy Reader app.

[Ivan Icin]

Richard,

regarding the subscription price, I am not sure if they currently sell both 
apps as part of the subscription or each app has its own subscription, as 
far as I know it is price for both apps. Which may make it a better deal 
for those that have a Mac, but many people may not have the Mac.

Regarding the Bookshare, as a Bookshare developer partner I can say that 
they are very hostile to any other app than the ones that you have 
mentioned, for whatever reason.

So I can say at the moment that my app does support Bookshare, has a 
feature set that is at least in some aspects better than Voice Dream (and 
it is individual who will love/need mode what, but overall it should have 
more features if you count them) and is completely free for the blind 
people.

But as said Bookshare is very hostile to other apps. At this point I can 
say that I prepare updates for my app for November that will in most 
aspects double the feature set and move experience ahead probably more than 
cumulative update of any other apps for the last 5 years or even more. At 
that point it should be without much argue the best app out there. As the 
app is rewritten from the scratch it doesn't make sense to reinvest into 
the Bookshare support at the current usage. So I have just asked them for 
their confirmation that they will promote my app as they promote other apps 
(which it should deserve even without the update). Thus far no answer. And 
considering the history, I don't expect any.

RE: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Richard Turner]

Hi Leo,

 

What apps allow for wi-fi transfer?

 

I have WaltrPro which allows this.  I don't recommend WaltrPro because the 
price is unreasonable now and they have never done a thing about accessibility. 
 I figured out how to use WaltrPro but it is tedious at best.

 

I know someone who transfers files to VDR through iTunes, but that is even more 
tedious in my opinion.

 

I'd be curious about other apps that allow for wi-fi transfer.

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

Richard, USA.

At this point I am not sure to what you refer to, but if you refer to reviews 
they are on the iOS version of the app and they are very recent, like just few 
days ago.

 

So at least some people were asked to pay 100$/year recently in the iOS app.

Winston was going to add the subscription to the iOS version, but he sold the 
company before he did that.

So, the Applause group implemented the subscription model for all versions.

 

So, if someone was asked to pay $100 last year, that would likely have been the 
Mac version.  

 

At least, that is what I understand and I could of course be wrong.

Looking at the web site it seems that I can read there what you sad that is in 
the App Store too. So probably a week or two ago when I checked it was 
different. It probably means that they have finally settled to that 80$ price 
point (it could be that they are still experimenting with non-US markets or 
that those markets will take more time to update the listings due to lower 
sales volume). You can read in the reviews that there are people in the US that 
were asked to pay 99$/year, so certainly that price was there very recently.

 

Anyway I did say that their most common price point was 80$ or 90$ (I wasn't 
sure which one as that was from my mind), so what you said isn't diametrically 
opposed to what I said.

You have information on pricing in the App Store.  Currently they are 
experimenting with something like 5 price points. In general in such cases 
developers randomly assign those to users to see what price points brings the 
most money to them. As the App Store arranges those by the one that is 
currently most frequently used, I think that their most likely price is 
currently 80 or 90$/year. There is one higher price point than that and several 
lower

 

So at the moment the app doesn’t have a uniform price. But it seems that you 
are much more likely to be charged close to 100$/year than 50$/year, which is 
the overall range that they use.

RE: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Richard Turner]

Well, you are correct, of course.  At least, mostly.

 

However, the subscription started while Winston Chen owned Voice Dream Reader 
for the Mac computers only.

 

Winston was going to add the subscription to the iOS version, but he sold the 
company before he did that.

So, the Applause group implemented the subscription model for all versions.

 

So, if someone was asked to pay $100 last year, that would likely have been the 
Mac version.  

 

At least, that is what I understand and I could of course be wrong.

HTH,

Looking at the web site it seems that I can read there what you sad that is in 
the App Store too. So probably a week or two ago when I checked it was 
different. It probably means that they have finally settled to that 80$ price 
point (it could be that they are still experimenting with non-US markets or 
that those markets will take more time to update the listings due to lower 
sales volume). You can read in the reviews that there are people in the US that 
were asked to pay 99$/year, so certainly that price was there very recently.

 

Anyway I did say that their most common price point was 80$ or 90$ (I wasn't 
sure which one as that was from my mind), so what you said isn't diametrically 
opposed to what I said.

You have information on pricing in the App Store.  Currently they are 
experimenting with something like 5 price points. In general in such cases 
developers randomly assign those to users to see what price points brings the 
most money to them. As the App Store arranges those by the one that is 
currently most frequently used, I think that their most likely price is 
currently 80 or 90$/year. There is one higher price point than that and several 
lower

 

So at the moment the app doesn’t have a uniform price. But it seems that you 
are much more likely to be charged close to 100$/year than 50$/year, which is

I think that I had that information from the website for the US App Store. 

In my country the pricing is in EUR, so I don’t think that I have looked

RE: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Richard Turner]

I just checked in the app store and only found one price in the US: Annual 
Subscription$79.99.

Also listed are the various voices you can purchase at $4.99 each.

 

What country are you in?

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

You have information on pricing in the App Store.  Currently they are 
experimenting with something like 5 price points. In general in such cases 
developers randomly assign those to users to see what price points brings 
the most money to them. As the App Store arranges those by the one that is 
currently most frequently used, I think that their most likely price is 
currently 80 or 90$/year. There is one higher price point than that and 
several lower

So at the moment the app doesn’t have a uniform price. But it seems that 
you are much more likely to be charged close to 100$/year than 50$/year, 
which is the overall range that they use.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[Ivan Icin]

I had too many typos, so here is corrected version with few more words:
Voice Dream is now a free app, so from the aspect of Apple that acquired 
license is now worth 0$. Also take that free with a bit of grain as it now 
actually costs around 100$/year to be used, just it is free to download. If 
you already own the license in general you don’t need to pay the new price, 
but the system isn’t bulletproof as Apple doesn’t support such a transition 
and it it technically possible that some users might need to pay, though 
that should be a very tiny ratio. 

Other that that  when it was a paid app Family Sharing was meant only for 
in-app purchases, and this is Apple’s policy for all paid apps.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

Voice Dream is now a free app, so from the aspect of Apple that acquired 
licensed is now worth 0$. Also take that free with a but of vrain as it now 
qctually costs 100$/year to be used, just it is free to download

Voice Dream Reader and Family sharing

[leobado1982]

Hello. Someone I know is having issues with Voice Dream Reader and family
sharing. This person bought VDR time ago when it was acquired through
one-time payment. However, now he wants to share VDR but a message pops up
saying that it is not possible. Is anyone having this issue?

 

Best,

Leo Bado

What device are you using to play the music?

We have Sonos, and I have home sharing enabled in iTunes, so my wife can access 
my entire library through Sonos.

Now, No extra cost for family sharing involved.

Through iTunes home sharing, you can share your library over your network.

Now, if you want her to have the same access to all of Apple music that is not 
part of your personal library from your CDs, and she is using her own Apple ID, 
and you pay for Apple music family sharing, she will have the same access to 
everything that you have. At least that is my understanding. Of course, always 
check with Apple to be sure.

Re: family sharing, apple music and what does the person getting the share see

[Richard Turner]

What device are you using to play the music?
We have Sonos, and I have home sharing enabled in iTunes, so my wife can access 
my entire library through Sonos.
Now, No extra cost for family sharing involved.
Through iTunes home sharing, you can share your library over your network.
Now, if you want her to have the same access to all of Apple music that is not 
part of your personal library from your CDs, and she is using her own Apple ID, 
and you pay for Apple music family sharing, she will have the same access to 
everything that you have. At least that is my understanding. Of course, always 
check with Apple to be sure.

How to fix the iOS Family Sharing bug without 
losing your app data By Malcolm Owen |


A recent bug stemming from the Family Sharing 
feature of iOS and iPadOS is preventing users 
from being able to run apps they already own on their devices.


Here's how to fix it while Apple prepares to patch the issue.

On Friday, a bug surfaced that affected a 
large number of Apple users, primarily those 
who updated their iPhone or iPad to the 
just-released iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5. The 
bug displays a prompt on screen claiming the 
app is "no longer shared" with the user, and 
suggesting they buy it from the App Store to continue using it.


Due to the mention of sharing within the 
message, the bug seems to be related to Family 
Sharing, a function of Apple's account system 
that allows apps and other content to be 
shared between a small number of people. This 
in theory can save a family money, as apps do 
not have to be purchased multiple times.


Despite being primarily used for paid apps, 
the Family Sharing bug seems to also impact 
other apps stored on a device that were 
acquired at no charge. Popular apps including 
YouTube, Facebook, and Discord are also able to be blocked by the bug.


Given the high number of complaints about the 
bug, it is probable that Apple is working on 
some form of patch that fixes it in a future 
operating system update, though that may take 
time. Apple has also seemingly attempted a 
temporary fix in the form of reissued app 
updates , though this will not necessarily 
work for every app affected by the problem, nor for all users.


Fixes for the problem fundamentally involve 
removing the app from the device, then 
reinstalling it. While users could simply 
delete the app manually and reacquire it from 
the App Store, this can lead to lost app data, 
or at the very least needing to reauthenticate with the app itself.


There is a way of accomplishing the same thing 
while preserving the app data, which involves 
offloading apps . Offloading apps will delete 
apps from the device, but preserve any 
user-specific data, including files created by 
the app, so the app will be ready to go from 
the state of when it was last used once it is back on the device.


App offloading can be set to run 
automatically, making it a great way to 
preserve the storage capacity of an iPhone or 
iPad, but the solution here requires going down the manual route.


Manual Offloading Once you know of an app that 
is affected by the bug, head to the Settings 
app, then enter General , then iPhone Storage 
or iPad Storage . Scroll down the page to find 
the app in question, and select it.


On the new screen, which shows the app's size 
and documents and data size, select Offload 
App . A confirmation dialog will appear, 
requiring you to select Offload App once again.


Once selected the app will delete.

Offloading and reinstalling takes a few taps, 
but keeps your data intact unlike normal 
deletion. Stay on the same page, and select 
the new Reinstall App option where Offload App 
was previously located. This will re-download the app to the device.


Further Notes Given the potentially high 
number of apps that may be affected, it is 
advised to conduct this process while on 
Wi-Fi, rather than using cellular data connections.

How to fix the iOS Family Sharing bug without losing your app data By Malcolm

A recent bug stemming from the Family Sharing feature of iOS and iPadOS is 
preventing users from being able to run apps they already own on their devices.

Here's how to fix it while Apple prepares to patch the issue.

On Friday, a bug surfaced that affected a large number of Apple users, 
primarily those who updated their iPhone or iPad to the just-released iOS 13.5 
and iPadOS 13.5. The bug displays a prompt on screen claiming the app is "no 
longer shared" with the user, and suggesting they buy it from the App Store to 
continue using it.

Due to the mention of sharing within the message, the bug seems to be related 
to Family Sharing, a function of Apple's account system that allows apps and 
other content to be shared between a small number of people. This in theory can 
save a family money, as apps do not have to be purchased multiple times.

Despite being primarily used for paid apps, the Family Sharing bug seems to 
also impact other apps stored on a device that were acquired at no charge. 
Popular apps including YouTube, Facebook, and Discord are also able to be 
blocked by the bug.

Given the high number of complaints about the bug, it is probable that Apple is 
working on some form of patch that fixes it in a future operating system 
update, though that may take time. Apple has also seemingly attempted a

Manual Offloading Once you know of an app that is affected by the bug, head to

Re: family sharing, and sorting options in podcasts

[Wayne Merritt]

Just saw this message. I usually go months without using Apple
Accessibility Support, but this week I have been adjusting to an
iPhone XR and an Apple Watch Series 4. Most of the experiences have
been great, except for one representative who told me how to restart
the phone, but didn't appear to realize that by restarting the phone,
there was no noise or VoiceOver feedback. She was the one not so great
person I've talked with. Perhaps they can offer suggestions on your
Siri issue. One good thing is they're open 24/7.

family sharing, and sorting options in podcasts

['deidre muccio' via VIPhone]

Richard

I used Apple Accessibility when I first got an i Phone years 
ago. I forget they are still out there. I see al the info regarding the 
organizer just don't see her purchases anywhere any longer which used to show 
when I selected the Update Tab. 

In podcasts the structure is  a little different now but I 
found part of what I could use by sorting either by title or recently played or 
updated. Still voice over isn't consistent in letting me know where the options 
are for removing podcasts from the library, etc. Voice over bugs?

One last question, perhaps for the accessibility line as well.

Some of my Siri Suggestions or Siri Shortcut Suggestions have 
an entire text message in there as a suggestion. I'd like to wipe them all out 
but there is no option for deleting any or all of them from what I can tell. 

Maybe there are new gestures in 12.4 that I am unaware of.

In settings, double tap your name.  As you swipe you will come to family 
sharing.  If you double tap that, then you will see a toggle switch in there to 
share purchases.  Make sure yours is turned on.

Hope this helps.

Chris, 
the only place I was able to get to that mentions family sharing is if I hit on 
the credit card information and the family members credit card information is 
listed. Still see no option to have her purchases show when I go to the App 
Store.

Family sharing is not listed. There’s only one thing in there that could be 
related that says something like download purchases made on other phones 
automatically. But like I said family sharing is not listed in there. Not sure 
where I found it earlier.
I’m wondering if some of these problems have to do with the fact that I have an

Re: family sharing, and what happened to the option to reorder podcasts

I can see my family members apps just fine, and I am running ios 12.4.1.
There is a toggle switch for this in settings, and I would recommend checking 
to make sure yours is turned on.
In settings, double tap your name.  As you swipe you will come to family 
sharing.  If you double tap that, then you will see a toggle switch in there to 
share purchases.  Make sure yours is turned on.

Hope this helps.

family sharing, and what happened to the option to reorder podcasts

['deidre muccio' via VIPhone]

Hey all
A few more things that are different since updating to 12.4 is that I no
longer see my family member's list of purchases and downloads in the APP
Store under the UPDATE TAB. That family member does indeed show in settings
somewhere having to do with family shairing, but can I assume any purchase I
make will go to that family member's account? I also miss seeing her
purchases which I could easily go through to see if she had something I
want.
And is there no longer any option to reorder podcasts in the native
podcast app? The edit button is not used for that. Yes, there are ways to
open podcasts without having to manually swipe to get to the one I want, but
it bothers me that I can not reorder them in the list. In fact once inside
the podcast I want, it is no longer streamlined as nicely as it once was way
back in 10 _. Sometimes the mini player gets you into the particular podcast

Re: Family Sharing

[Feliciano Godoy]

It is pretty straightforward. Whoever will be the master manager to your 
account need to go to the Device settings followed by going to the Apple ID 
iCloud settings area and there you will have family share where  you can set it 
up.

Re: Question about family sharing

[Feliciano Godoy]

First, ensure app sharing is enabled on your device.
 Afterwards, on his device, go to the App Store, go to my account and then go 
to purchased and then you could look for the app for apps under your tab/ name.

Re: Question about family sharing

RE: Apple Music family sharing?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If he has the personal Apple Music subscription then it applies only to him. 
You as the organiser will have to subscribe to the Apple Music family 
subscription which is $14.99 a month instead of the $9.99 for the individual 
and then everybody in the family group will be able to access it and they can 
have their own recommendations, library etc.

Family Sharing is in the first Settings group, the one which should say your 
name followed by Apple Id, iCloud and iTunes and App Store.

If you swipe to it and you hear “Family Sharing” followed by a name that means 
you have family sharing set up and the name will probably be that of your wife, 
at least that is how it is for me.

If it’s not set up double tapping on it should guide you through it, I have no 
idea about the steps involved any more since I set it up a couple of years ago 
and haven’t touched it since.

well, in the case of Parcel Track for example, it is an in app premium 
upgrade and so that isn't what happened.  Tell me something.  Terry created 
the family sharing but I got parcel track first.  then he got it and 
upgraded it.  Mine is still not upgraded and so I guess I'll have to do it

sharing turned on. Kay my wife was able to go into my apps and download the 
same app. Later on I upgraded to the premium version. She hasn't found a way 
that the app has been to the premium version on her phone. Is there a way 
through family sharing that she can use the premium version of the app? Also 
when you look at the family sharing tab it is dimmed, is there a way to turn 
that on? Just so you know there are only two of us in the family. Also, does 
the app have to say somewhere that it supports family sharing In order to 
use it between the two of us?
  Thanks

turned on. Kay my wife was able to go into my apps and download the same app. 
Later on I upgraded to the premium version. She hasn't found a way that the app 
has been to the premium version on her phone. Is there a way through family 
sharing that she can use the premium version of the app? Also when you look at 
the family sharing tab it is dimmed, is there a way to turn that on? Just so 
you know there are only two of us in the family. Also, does the app have to say 
somewhere that it supports family sharing In order to use it between the two of 
us? 
Thanks

Hi,

 

I like tom the best. He is more clear than Alex to a degree. He is also a bit 
louder therefore a little better to understand in some situations. Alex is my 
next favorite then Ava.

 

Thanks,

Hi since we have A number of voices now to select that the iPhone has now.

Like Alex and Ava and the old one that the phone first came with.

What all are you liking for you go to voice?

I know a lot of you like Alex on your phone.

I have used him to but doesn’t he use A bit more battery then others?

Also what voice to you like the best out of all of them for use on A daily 
basis?

And why do you select the voice you do?

Family sharing

[Deidre Muccio]

Problem solved. My sister is downloading the very app I wanted at the time I 
was not showing up as doing family sharing. At her and my name was blotted out. 
Grade out. I don't dare use that other word which Siri never ever gets right 
when I try and dictate it. Anyway I suppose I was asked for a code and my 
sisters card number when I was trying to purchase something that was not in her 
list. That must've been what happened yesterday. Makes sense. It's not going to 
just let me order whatever I want without her permission, right? Hello all,
I went to the App Store to download something the other day and looked at my 
sisters purchases. We're doing family sharing. I had trouble downloading what I 
wanted and didn't understand why today when I went back and hit on the update 
tap and looked at purchases again, my sister was no longer listed in there at 
my end. At her and my name is dimmed out. Could this be because we are running 
different iOS versions? She's up to 10.3 I am not.  Yesterday when I try to 
download something it said my sister or I needed to put in a special code. Also 
seem to indicate that it wanted a different card number from her. When I spoke 
to my sister today, she said some strange things have been happening as well at 
her and, and she didn't know what the cause of that was. She just downloaded a 
app and everything seemed to go just fine except that my name had been dimmed 
out. 
Any suggestions of what I might do at my end at this point? I went to settings 
and I couldn't find the area where would indicate that we were doing family 
sharing under the App Store iTunes part of settings. I went into the App Store 
and iTunes settings and there's nothing there about Family sharing. This is a 
very strange.

RE: family sharing and in app purchases?

[Richard Turner]

Hi,
Have one of the other kids install the app and see if it allows them to 
"restore" purchases.
I'm guessing the original app is free to download.

Otherwise, try going into app store, updates, purchases and see if that child 
can download it from there...

Just guessing here from a brief experience with family sharing.

Richard

Re: A Word of Caution Ab Family Sharing

Hello,

I also had this issue with helping a client set up family sharing. I found that 
if you find the link on the bottom of the screen, and then double tap and hold 
on the link it will activate.

I hope this helps,

Re: A Word of Caution Ab Family Sharing

[Kimber Gardner]

I had a similar problem with the continue button when I was trying to set up 
family sharing. I too called apple accessibility and got the problem solved 
only by clicking on sign in with another Apple ID. The funny thing is, after 
clicking that link, I signed in with the same user id and everything worked.

In a similar incident, I was ordering a phone of or my husband and was unable 
to click the button to accept the terms and conditions that was essential to 
completing the order. I had to sign onto apple with my laptop to click the 
button.

A Word of Caution Ab Family Sharing

[Tom Lange]

Hi
In regard to family sharing, which was discussed recently, I thought I'd pass 
on a word of caution.  Recently I received an invitation to join family sharing 
and accepted the invitation, which was no problem. I was able to confirm that I 
was accepting the invitation from the Apple ID in question, but, at the bottom 
of the confirmation screen is a link labeled "Continue".  Try as I might, I 
couldn't activate that link while VoiceOver was running. I spent an hour or 
more with Apple tech support fiddling around with various things, but to no 
avail. Ultimately I had to get a neighbor to activate the Continue link with 
VoiceOver off before I could get to the final screen at which time I could join 
family sharing and go on about my business.  The Apple support rep made a note 
of the situation, but I thought I'd pass this story on to the list in case 
anyone else has run into this and urge you to write to accessibil...@apple.com 
if you've experienced a similar difficulty. Without sighted assistance there's 
no way I could have completed that process.  Hope this helps someone.

Best regards,
Tom

RE: Want to know few crutial things about family sharing

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It is up to the developer of each app to allow Family Sharing or not and 
usually at the end of an app description it states "Family Sharing: Yes" or 
"Family Sharing: No".

You cannot limit family sharing to particular apps. If you enable Family 
Sharing and add somebody they have access to all apps you have purchased and 
who offer family sharing and if they buy apps the main person will be charged 
unless they buy an iTunes gift card and put that credit on their account. If 
they do this any purchases will be deducted from their gift card balance first 
and only if it runs out will the main family organizer be charged.


Regards,
Sieghard

I heard that you can not share one particular application under family sharing 
option. mean, if you include someone in your family sharing list, he will be 
having access to all of the applications which you have purchased. Is that true?
Second thing, if that family share holder will purchase any application from 
app store, the money will be deducted from the account of the person who is 
owner of the first account. To make it more simple, I have purchased KNFB 
reader, I want to share only this application with one of my family member, but 
not all of my applications.
and if that person will purchase any application, he can easily purchase them 
by entering his own apple id password and money will be deducted from my credit 
card?  Please guide me before I take any decision.

Hi Tom,

The better thing to do is to add credit to your iTunes account by loading
iTunes gift cards. Once you've done that, any purchases you make will draw
on that balance first before the billing method for the family member who is
in charge of the family share plan.

Someone added me to their family sharing so I can share Apple Music.  From

family member to pay for.  Is there a way to temporarily opt out so I can
make those purchases and then sign back in for Apple Music?  Thanks.
