I suspect it's all about what you're used to. I'm finding that things that involve pushing buttons seem to take a bigger leap for me. Not that they're more difficult, I've just gotten so used to touching, swiping, and flicking, that I don't think to do it. I think the thing that's been

Agree completely with putting things on the clock face. Really makes the whole today summary aspect a reality. But glances. I fear they’re going to end up much like the Today view in notification centre on OS X for me. I’ll check them once in a while purely for pleasure, but I don’t see

I've found theglances to be kind of worthless becaue hty take longer to open up than apps. I know a sighted person ould like flicking through them but I don't see much advantage for most of them. On 4/27/15, Sabahattin Gucukoglu listse...@me.com wrote: Widgets, in the Apple universe. Summary

Actually, I like flicking through them. Like I said, probably a subjective thing. It depends on what I want to do, too. the other thing I've done is put a lot of the relevant info on the clock face, such as battery info, activities, weather, and time. Makes the times when I have to either

I did play around with the watch faces (in fact, I crashed the Clock app entirely by removing them all, which was a good laugh) but I’m still a bit unhappy with the number of components that aren’t accessible. Hopefully it will get better, but right now, the Solar and Astronomy faces which

Lol! You just got my day off on a laughing start. I did remove a couple of the watch faces, but not all of them. Interesting what you write about the modular face. After playing around it's the one I came back to using, and I thought that in one configuration I did have both calendar and

I agree. My impression after the first 24 hours is quite favorable. I didn't think I would ever use it to message people, but in fact i did that this afternoon, and it was very easy once I got it figured out. Like any first release it has room to grow. Better battery life would be good, as

You need to keep raise to activate on for some features to work. But you can turn off start VO when raised and that will stop the time. I don’t want to hear the time every time I move my arm that’s for sure. On Apr 25, 2015, at 5:58 AM, Donna Goodin doniado...@me.com wrote: So I got the
