Hi, I like Nebulous because it has a good search feature. You have to enter editing mode and have the search macro in an easy place to use, but when you use the search feature and have a braille display, focus goes right to your search result. Best, Anna On Oct 14, 2014, at 9:13 PM,

Hi Wayne, There's no other setting, as far as I know. I think the developer has to enable the option to only use location services when the app is running. I really hope this becomes a standard option in most or all apps that use location services. Best, Anna On Oct 8, 2014, at 8:11 PM,

Hi, Tabletop mode requires your fingers to be in kind of a V shape, so try positioning them that way. Also, you can hold one finger on the screen to start an exploring mode. It will stay in this mode as long as you leave at least one finger on screen. Try that so you can find the dots. My

Hi, A reasonably quick way to search for an app and open it is to make sure focus is anywhere other than the status bar. Then type Space with dots 3-4-5-6. This opens Spotlight. Type a few characters and press Enter. Press Space with Dot 4 a few times, and you should reach the app you want.

Hi, The Lion Brand app has patterns that read fine with a braille display. Since they're long blocks, going through them with VoiceOver alone would be a pin though. If you wanted to use it without a braille display, I would suggest using Voice Memos or any voice recorder to record VoiceOver
