My apologies for the belated response. Gordon and I are really having a hard

Hello Brenda
Actually it was I, rather than Gordon, who responded; but no problem.
iOS7.02 certainly brings up some issues regarding accessibility. What Gordon
does like about it though is the messaging applet. It’s now far easier to

Gordon hardly ever uses Safari in iOS, primarily I think because he gets a bit
impatient with the mobile browser. But I think it is an area he needs to become

I need to try this for myself. So, from the main screen in iOS with VoiceOver
active, how do you bring up the app switcher? I can switch apps visually and
it’s really nice actually. But how do you initiate the app switcher with
VoiceOver active? All or most of the gestures change.

This seems to be Gordon’s opinion too. Like you he’s been using it for some
time and had no problems. He is saying that he has never encountered the focus

switcher. Now this is what I do.
1. Swipe to the right with one finger until you come to an app.
2. Swipe up or down with one finger until the close app is selected,

It's actually a lot easier then the prior poster said to close apps. Open the
app switcher with the double press of the home button, flick to the app and
simply swipe up with 3 fingers. I'd give you a link to my podcast but it is
