Hi Teresa, I wonder if you've found a way to move apps using a braille display. I think you are a braille user, yes? I appreciate the post about the bluetooth keyboard. I find moving apps not too bad on my phone, but harder on the iPad, so will definitely take advantage of this method there.

Hi. I only used Siri one time, but when I did, all I did was hold the Home button down until I heard a tone, then I released the button and told Siri what I wanted to do. As I said I have only used Siri one time, so it may not work the way I think. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY
