Totally agree. I got SiriusXM during the preseason, and I listened to three games on Sunday with no problem. I even caught the pregame show for the Dolphins game. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, September 12, 2022 1:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: NFL and iOS App Right, doable but not very accessible isn’t worth paying for.

Here's what I posted to the list earlier. I've used the NFL app in the past, and I tried it again during the preseason with the seven day free trial. It's doable but not very accessible. OK, I signed up for the NFL Plus free trial, and things worked pretty much as they did the season before last season. Here’s what I did: 1.I brought up the NFL app. 2.I had to go into the Scores tab to get a game started. I couldn’t figure out how to do this from the NFL Plus tab. 3.In the Scores tab, I double tapped on the game I was interested in. In this case, it was the Giants at Patriots. 4.I then had to double tap on the Watch tab. 5.Here I could double tap on the home broadcast, which was the Patriots, or I could double tap on the listen live options, where I could double tap on the away feed. 6.At this point the broadcast comes up, but you won’t hear anything because the audio volume is set to 0. I unmuted the audio by hitting the volume up button. 7.Now you can listen to the game but the player is totally inaccessible, so there’s no way to play/pause or fast forward/rewind. Like I said, this was pretty much how things worked the season before last.

I've used the NFL app in the past, and I tried it again during the preseason with the seven day free trial. It's doable but not very accessible. OK, I signed up for the NFL Plus free trial, and things worked pretty much as they did the season before last season. Here's what I did: 1.I brought up the NFL app. 2.I had to go into the Scores tab to get a game started. I couldn't figure out how to do this from the NFL Plus tab. 3.In the Scores tab, I double tapped on the game I was interested in. In this case, it was the Giants at Patriots. 4.I then had to double tap on the Watch tab. 5.Here I could double tap on the home broadcast, which was the Patriots, or I could double tap on the listen live options, where I could double tap on the away feed. 6.At this point the broadcast comes up, but you won't hear anything because the audio volume is set to 0. I unmuted the audio by hitting the volume up button. 7.Now you can listen to the game but the player is totally inaccessible, so there's no way to play/pause or fast forward/rewind. Like I said, this was pretty much how things worked the season before last. Last season, the problem was that the volume buttons wouldn't unmute the audio, so there was no way for me to listen to the game unless I had a sighted person around who could tap on the unmute button in the inaccessible player. SiriusXM is a much more enjoyable way to listen to a game, but it is $12 instead of $5 a month. I did see the option in the Watch tab to relisten to a game, but I haven't tried that yet! -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Kelly Ford Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2022 12:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googleg

RE: NFL and iOS App
Here is what I had to do. 1. Get to the list of games. 2. Double tap on the game I wanted. 3. Slide my finger to the right edge of the screen where that game was located. 4. Lift my finger a bit but keep track of the physical location. 5. Turn off VoiceOver. 6. Touch the right edge of the screen where the game is located. 7. Turn back on VoiceOver. Now you will be able to read the buttons for the different broadcasts. It would appear that the NFL is using some graphic that isn't read by screen readers to create the three dots that are shown visibly here to bring up these buttons. A similar issue happens on the web site but there, they did add a tab stop to the unread graphic.
