is no evidence of screen recognition in the rotor whatsoever because the screen
is 1000% completely blank meaning your app is completely useless you can’t do

once the app does not work there’s no way to get it to work again.

Yes, I've used them both for that purpose. You are correct, you set your
destination as where ever you're getting picked up and add a stop which would
be to the vet or where ever you want to go.

I never did get into VDR. I just got into the settings for VDR in the IOS
settings. VDR won't open at all, and I didn't use bookshare. I can send him the

I know there are a couple of places where you can delete the app, but which is

If you're in an app which has screen recognition turned on, twist the rotor to
screen recognition and flick down to turn it off. Then twist away so as not to
accidentally turn it on again.

has anyone tried a power off, wait two minutes, and power on again with a
cleared app switcher? I’m guessing this has been tried, but I don’t recall
having read it on this thread.

And if you & others turn off screen recognition like I suggest, by going into
the app switcher, rather than trying to turn screen recognition off within the
app, Aira & other apps will work just fine once again. Refuse to try my
suggestion, your loss being stuck with unusable apps.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think of Apple as having all that
great a reputation of making simple, easy to use and accessible applications on
other platforms. I still hear people complaining about iTunes on Windows. Last
