RE: Pandora Response to accessibility
Hi folks, I wish people would do a little research before posting what I think is misinformation about an app. IN this case, I am referring to Pandora. First, the subject lines seems to indicate that the app's most recent update made Pandora inaccessible, when this is not true. In fact, when I opened the app on my phone, I was able to see song lyrics, the album name and so forth which is very helpful. The only change I noticed is in the station name tab, one has to have hints enabled in VoiceOver to hear the station name. It was a little off-putting at first, but I usually have hints on so it's not a big deal. As for the email response that was posted from a discussion thread on Applevis, I hope it is not from a Pandora representative, but if it is, the company should take disciplinary action against the employee. If you do a little research on Pandora's web site by first clicking on the press room link, you will find a list of top company executives. Why not send a note just to make them aware of the response that appears to have come from Pandora concerning an accessibility inquiry. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Blind Treasures Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2014 6:18 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Pandora Response to accessibility I know this is a little off topic but thought people using Pandora should hear what type of people they are supporting.

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
This is not first-hand or even second-hand information, so I take it with a large ocean of salt. I don't know which is more incredible: the message itself or the willingness to take it as fact. I don't believe it's a good idea to base responses on hearsay alone. Do thy research. I kind of wish there was an equivalent of Snopes to dispel some of these rumors that pop up with regards to accessibility. Given my frame of mind at the moment, I almost want to start such a page. It's challenging enough to deal with accessibility issues without wading through nasty and silly nonsense.

RE: Pandora Response to accessibility
I also do absolutely not believe that this message was sent from a representative of Pandora; it was probably some idiot who pretended to be such a person. It came via Facebook, correct?

Maybe you should email Pandora and see what type of response you get, you know how it goes when you see things on Facebook. People just like to create drama.

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
I didn't want to add to the list clutter, but at times there is a serious lack of basic critical thinking on these lists. Its almost as if people are sitting around waiting, just waiting to be insulted or in some way be mistreated, for which they are thrown into a needless rage and silly behavior follows.
