Re: A problem with dictation in apps

[Kimber Gardner]

Is everyone who is experiencing this problem using the two-finger
method for starting dictation? I'm asking because I always start
dictation by tapping the dictate button at the bottom of the keyboard
and I have not experienced this problem.

Try starting dictation with the dictate button and see if the problem
behavior improves.

Apps forcing you to update -- is it possible to skip?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

Recently I've noticed a rather disturbing trend in various iPhone
apps. Frequently when an update is available I am presenting with an
update button upon opening the app in question. This is okay except
when there  is no way to get past this screen without doing the
update.

As any voiceover user knows, there are times when an update breaks
accessibility. If the app is one that I use frequently I often want to
wait to be sure that vo will still work,.

Is there a strategy -- aside from writing to the developer -- to skip
these forced updates and continue using the version of the app that is
currently working for me?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Kim

Hi,

Hoping someone here can help because google is giving me nothing
remotely helpful.

I have several items in my whole foods cart which I would like to

the instructions I get from googling tell me click the pictures and
blah blah blah, which is not helpful.

Re: Beets Blu bathroom scale app

[Kimber Gardner]

I'm a little late to this discussion, but are you looking for a
bathroom scale that will work with the iPhone? If so, I have the
Qardio Base which works really well with my iPhone. I got it from
amazon though I don't recall how much it was. I hope this helps.

Re: Backtap on a new SE

[Kimber Gardner]

You have to define what you want it to do. Under: settings.
accessibility, voiceover, commands, touch gestures. You will find a
list of gestures and the back tap is all the way at the bottom. There
is a double tap and a triple tap. If you double tap on one of them you
will see a list of options for what you want the back tap to do.

Re: Is anyone else having trouble with focus jumping around under iOS14

[Kimber Gardner]

Sometimes flicking past the field you want then back will help regain
focus. It doesn't always work though.

Another place where the focus problem is really bad is within an email
thread that's longer than six or seven emails.

Re: Toolbar?

Yeah, that toolbar announcement bugs the crap out of me just like the
thing saying "conversations" at the top of the messages app.

iPhone onscreen keyboard will not display

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I have a strange problem. The onscreen keyboard on my SE 2nd
generation running iOS14 will not display. Everything was fine until
this afternoon when I connected a bluetooth keyboard to fill out a
form in safari. I turned off the keyboard when I was finished with the
form and ever since my onscreen keyboard is not displaying. When I go
into an edit field the phone makes a sound like it thinks there is a
bluetooth keyboard or braille display connected even though there
isn't.

I have turned bluetooth off and back on again. I have unpaired my
braille display and my logitech keyboard, all with no change in the
problem. I have also rebooted the phone. Now I am fresh out of ideas.

Can anyone think of something else I can try?

Any help is appreciated.

Kim

Re: Creating Events Quickly in iOS Calendar

[Kimber Gardner]

Regarding FantastiCal. I've seen the option to subscribe and balked at
the repeating cost. But I've been using it without the subscription
and it suits my needs. What are the benefits to subscribing? It just
seems unnecessary to have a subscription to use my calendar. Am I
missing something?

Re: Update: this was a fishing attempt. Apple music subscription billing problem -- something seems off

[Kimber Gardner]

I called Apple this morning and everything is fine with my account.
The support person I spoke with asked me to forward the email to
reportphish...@apple.com which I did.

But as a cautionary note, I'm telling you the email looed very
official even showing an address that ended with apple.com. So please
be aware.

One more thing that tipped me off was that I had purchased an app only
hours before that fake email went through. Not saying a problem
couldn't have developed in that time, but it did seem odd.

Re: Is it possible to set up apple tv without sighted help?

[Kimber Gardner]

Well, I did get the various cords plugged in, but I think I've reached
the point where I need to switch to the hdmi port on the tv. My tv is
not very accessible so I'll probably give a call for some facetime
help.

Is it possible to set up apple tv without sighted help?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

I've been googling and can't find the answer to my question, so
figured someone here would be able to help.

I just got a new apple tv and I'm wondering if I need sighted help to
set it up. Or more specifically,what are the steps to get the apple tv
talking so I can set it up independently?

If it matters, I have the newest generation and, to be honest, I can't
even figure out where the cords plug into the device. Lol! So any help
will be appreciated.

Kim

Re: Drafts5 and Markdown options?

[Kimber Gardner]

I think I figured out what's going on with your missing options for
markdown. Go into settings and turn off the hide extended keyboard
setting. I think that will bring back your options for markdown
header, smart link etc. Let me know if it works. I think it will.

Help needed with hosting a group facetime call

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

Recently I've been tapped to act as host for a group FaceTime call for
a group of friends.

I begin the call by double tapping the button in our group text
messages that indicates how many people are in the group. On the next
screen I double tap facetime and the call is initiated.

I never have trouble with the first attendee coming onto the call. My
problem is getting subsequent attendees on. I can see their names with
the word waiting, but I can't reliably get them admitted. Mostly we
all end up on the call eventually, but I feel like that is more by
luck than any skill or knowledge on my part.

If someone would outline the steps for admitting people to a group
facetime call I would much appreciate it, as would my friends. Lol!

Thanks much in advance.

Kim

Re: Money Reader

[Kimber Gardner]

I was just going to ask about the money reader app. I saw that it was
no longer in the app store, but was wondering if I could restore it
from my encrypted backup.

If not, I'll be using Eyenote from now on.

Re: Help! iRobot Roomba owners

The large button in the middle starts and stops cleaning. The ones on
the sides ... send the robot home and something I don't remember. I
use the iPhone app to control my roomba rather than the buttons.

What happened to the scrub gesture to exit braille screen input?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I just updated my iPhone 7 yesterday. To my dismay, I found the scrub
gesture no longer works to exit braille screen input.

I seem to recall there is some way to define this gesture so I can
still use it. Is this true? And if so would someone list the steps for
me?

And finally, why the heck would apple change that? Sometimes I just
don't see the reason for some changes.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: iphone not creating calendar events

[Kimber Gardner]

Sarai,

This is just a guess, but check and see which calendar is your default
calendar. The second tab along the bottom of the screen in the
calendar will allow you to see which of various calendars is selected
as yur default calendar. This is the calendar where events will be
created. If the calendar you are looking at when searching for an
event is different from the one where the event is created, you won't
see your event.

This happened to me and it was a real pain to straighten it out.

I hope this helps.

Unable to enter data in edit fields using OneNote for iOS

[Kimber Gardner]

Good morning,

I'm attempting to use OneNote on my iPhone 7. Applevis seems to
indicate that the app is fully accessible, but I am unable to enter
text. When I double tap on an edit field, nothing happens.

Is there something I'm missing? Is anyone using OneNote successfully?

Thanks for any help.

Kim

Question about using day one journal

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I just started using the day one journal app and I need some guidance.
If I inadvertently created a new journal which I later want to delete,
how do I do that?

When I go into edit journals, I can reorder the journals I have, but I
can't see how to delete one.

Any help appreciated.

Re: Amazon app problem

[Kimber Gardner]

I had this same experience a week or so ago. In order to complete my
order I switched to my laptop where the experience was much smoother.
Interestingly, I have ordered with the amazon app since and had no
issues.

Re: Reading Kindle Books

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Linda,

I like to read on my iPhone. First, because it always with me and
super convenient. Second, because the gestures are all ones I am very
familiar with so I don't have to recall a bunch of other commands.
Also, the accessibility of the kindle app on iOS is darn good.

Re: Accessible bathroom scales with bluetooth capability

[Kimber Gardner]

I think you and I had the same talking scale. Haha. Very frustrating though.

I can't really say how the Qardio scale does with repeated weighings
since I  haven't done that in a while. But I have compared my home
results with those from my doctor's scale and the Qardio scale seems
pretty accurate.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

There really isn't though I'm sure they think the app is accessible
since all the elements are labeled. The problem is mainly with
navigation. You just can't move through the options the way you should
be able to while using VO.

I will definitely be emailing their support address and explaining why
I am returning the cooker.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

So the bottomline on my adventure with the wifi instant pot is that
it's going back to amazon.

I did finally get it paired -- turns out I had the wrong app. The
weird thing is that the wrong app was very accessible, but the right
app was not so much. I want to be clear. The app is probably usable
with some determination, but I just don't have that much. Not for a
pot anyway. 

I've cooked for over three decades without an instant pot and I guess
I will continue to do  so.

Thanks again to everyone who tried to help.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

Thanks for all the responses. I have reached out to the instant pot
support email and explained my situation. I found out from youtube
about pressing the button on the pot itself, but when I do I get a
message that says app with a blinking wifi indicator. However the
pairing never succeeds. I am standing right in front of the pot when I
do this. Anyway, I'll see what the instant pot folks say about it.

Regarding the app, it does seem very accessible with the exception of
the recipe area. You can access the recipes by moving your finger
around the screen then double tapping the one you  are interested in,
but you can't flick through the list of recipes which makes navigating
a bit tricky. Once in the recipe itself things work pretty well and
all ingrediets and instructions are readable.

I'll let everyone know how this all works out.

Thanks again for the responses.

Re: Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th | MacDailyNews

[Kimber Gardner]

Wow, I'm really excited to hear this. I've been struggling over which
music subscription service to keep (I subscribe to both amazon
unlimited and apple music). Admittedly, I was leaning toward unsubbing
from apple music, but didn't because I have so many personal playlists
I just didn't have the time or the inclination to recreate on the
amazon service. Also, I find creating playlists far less intutive on
the amazon platform. So this news makes me very happy.

Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I received my instant pot wifi smart cooker today. I downloaded the
app but no matter what I try, I am unable to pair it with my phone. I
go to add a smart cooker, it says searching and after a few seconds I
hear unable to find a smart cooker.

Can someone please help? I'm about ready to pack it up and return it.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: iPhone 7 screen intermittently seems to go unresponsive

[Kimber Gardner]

Unlike some others on the list who are seeing the dead screen issue, I
never lose speech. VO speaks every icon and action as it should. I
also here the appropriate sounds. But aside from that nothing happens.
Tapping and flicking and other gestures have no effect until I kill
the currently active app either with the home button or the app
switcher. Interestingly, I never see this problem on any of the home
screens, only when inside an app. Also, the problem is not exclusive
to third party apps. I see it just as often in apps like mail, music
and message.

Re: iPhone 7 screen intermittently seems to go unresponsive

[Kimber Gardner]

Are you running iOS12? This is exactly what's been happening to my
iPhone 7 ever since I updated to iOS12. What I do is either press the
home button then open another app or go into the app switcher, remove
the troublesome app then relaunch. Both methods will get things going
again. It's not a solution, but it's an ok work-around until Apple
issues a fix.

Re: iPhone7 frequently freezing since updating to iOS12

[Kimber Gardner]

I don't believe it's possible to "step up" the way you're describing.
I think it would be a all or nothing type of thing.

Also, just to update, a reset of network settings didn't help so it's
looks like I will need to set up as a new device. I
'm not looking forward to that and so will wait until the freezing
problem really gets on my last nerve.

Re: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than before

[Kimber Gardner]

Bard has the Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics book. It's the commercial
version and is read by Dan Harris. He gives the url for accessing the
meditations pretty close to the start of the book. Here is a link,

 There is a link early in the book. it tells you that all the meditations

 Anna,

 Thank you for this. I have yet another beginners question about the
 10% Happier app.

 I mistakenly subscribed to their additional content and then
 rescinded that subscription through iTunes. It's a single annual
 purchase fee, not weekly or monthly. I was just unwilling to commit
 to the roughly $100 purchase before using the app for quite some
 time.

 Is there enough standard content available without additional
 content purchase that's useful enough that I should continue using
 the app? If later on I do purchase the additional content
 subscription, is that  content VoiceOver accessible? (I found that
 for HeadSpace, subscription content is not accessible.)

 My exploration of the app still hasn't shown me there's much
 standard content available. But, it's early in my exploration.

 Thanks so much.

 Subject: 10% Happier meditation app much more accessible than
 before

 Hello,

 A few days ago, we were talking about meditation apps, and I
 mentioned 10% Happier. They released an update today that fixes a
 lot of accessibility issues. I haven't played with it long enough to
 know whether everything is accessible, but it's definitely much
 easier to see what courses are available, choose one, and choose a
 particular meditation. I'm thrilled that the developers are taking
 accessibility seriously.

 Best,
 Anna

Re: Need help setting up the qardio blood pressure app

[Kimber Gardner]

I got the cuff from amazon, but the link is too long to post. If you
search for qardio arm (note that the name is spelled with a Q not a C)
it will be your first result.

Likewise, search in the app store for qardio with a Q. The app is free.

The podcast is on applevis but wasn't especially helpful.

Need help setting up the qardio blood pressure app

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help. I recently bought the Qardio Arm blood
pressure cuff and although the app looks accessible, I am unable to
create an account. I enter text on the required fields: name, email
and password, but the register button remains greyed out. There are
two buttons that allow you to read the terms of service and privacy
stuff but there doesn't appear to be any checkbox or accept button. I
have re-entered the information several times but the register button
remains inaccessible.

I listened to a podcast that demonstrates the cuff and setup, and the
guy did say he had some trouble registering, but he never said how he
got around it.

I'm hoping someone with experience with this app can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Kim

Re: IOS12 & locked Screen

[Kimber Gardner]

You have to turn it off individually for each notification. It is
under the heading of options. It's called grouping or something like
that and is set to default to automatic. It's a bit of a pain to have
to turn each one off individually but it's better than nothing.

Re: E-Mail Questions

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Susie,

When you have an email open on your iPhone, there is a row of buttons
along the bottom of the screen. These are: mark message, move, delete,
reply and compose. Once you tap the reply button you are presented
with a few additional choices which are: reply, reply all, forward,
print and cancel. Reply will be highlighted so all you need do is
double tap and a screen will open where you can type your reply.

If your question was how to find the aforementioned buttons using the
brailliant, I apologize but I don't know that.

I hope this helps.

Kim

Re: some apple watch questions

[Kimber Gardner]

I don't think you can eliminate the phone entirely. You still have to
pair the watch with the phone. So unless I am misunderstanding, if you
go out wearing the watch you still have to carry the phone. Or am I
wrong about that?

Hiding updates for apps I no longer use

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi All,

Is it possible to hide updates for apps I no longer use? My list of
updates in the app store gets quite long at times and it's loaded with
apps I either tried and discarded or simply no longer want.

Any help appreciated.

Re: iCloud backup versus encrypted iTunes backup

[Kimber Gardner]

Admittedly, I haven't done an encrypted backup in a while. What do you
mean by you can no longer backup apps to your local computer? Does
that mean the mobile apps folder is no longer present in windows
explorer?

I used to back up my apps folder before doing major apps updates just
in case some of my favorite apps got broken. What a shame if that is
no longer possible.

Trouble making purchases within third party apps

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone will be able to shed some light. I am unable to make
purchases from within third party apps like mlb at bat and tunein. I
have checked my payment info within iTunes and have even made a music
purchase just to make sure I could.

But when I try to make a subscription purchase from within mlb at bat,
I get a message that says there was a problem completing my purchase.
Same thing happens in tunein. I called apple customer service and
after an hour on the phone, their answer was that there was something
going on with the apps, but I don't agree. The thing is I don't know
what my next step should be to resolve the issue.

Any help would be appreciated. This problem is frustrating the heck out of me.

Thanks,
Kim

Accessing links on YouTube

[Kimber Gardner]

Often when I'm watching a video on YouTube, the presenter will say
they are including links in the description box. I know that by
tapping the expand button I can cause that box to open, but what I
can't figure out is how to access the links. I can make VO read the
contents of the box, but there seems to be no easy way to navigate
within the box. This makes it nearly impossible to click a link.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Re: WhatsApp

Yes,you can add someone who is not in your contacts. The drawback is
you will see only the phone number with no name associated.

Focus 14 not paging in kindle app

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is a know issue since I rarely use my braile
display to read kindle books. But yesterday I was reading a kindle
book with my focus 14 and the display seemed to freeze at the bottom
of a page. Is this a known problem?

As soon as I exited the app the display behaved normally.

Any thoughts?

Re: Why one iPhone6 can change carriers but another can't?

That seems like a reasonable explanation. What we ended up doing was
activating my old iPhone for my granddaughter. I made the switch to
sprint this morning and so far so good.

No, I asked Sprint which is the carrier I want to switch to. They were

Why one iPhone6 can change carriers but another can't?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue for me.

We are looking to change cell phone carriers. One of the phones we
were hoping to bring along is a refurbished iPhone6 I bought for my
granddaughter a couple years ago. The trouble is when I check the
phone's eligibility using the IMEI number, it says the phone is not
eligible to make the switch. I also have an old iPhone6 of mine, same
model as my granddaughter's, but my phone is eligible.

Can anyone explain why? Is it because I bought the phone refurbished?
I bought it from Apple which was supposed to mean it was good as new,
but maybe not?

I really didn't want to have to buy a new phone since the whole point
of switching is to save money.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Kim

Re: some amazon echo questions

Sometimes the alexa app just gets totally stuck. By stuck I mean it
just sits there and does nothing. When that happens to me, I just
clear it from the app switcher and start again with whatever I was
trying to do when it hung up.

Holidays not appearing on iOS calendar

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

Don't ask why it's taken me until May to realize that my iPhone's
calendar isn't showing any holidays, but today I realized it's not.
Now while I could add them myself that seems like a pain in the butt
and unnecessary, but can someone tell me how to get the holidays to
show up? I read a couple of posts on one of the support forums but
they weren't helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Kim

Re: iPhone verses iPad

[Kimber Gardner]

Mary,

My experience with mail on the iPad has been similar to yours. In fact
it was the change you mentioned in which a two finger flick up reads a
bunch of stuff before the message that ended my reading of mail on the
iPad. I still don't know why that change was made.

I would also be very interested in hearing how mail can be efficiently
managed on the larger screen.

Re: IPhone versess IPad

[Kimber Gardner]

I think it really depends on what you are doing. There are still tasks
I find easier to accomplish on a laptop, but I think that is more a
windows vs mac situation.

I use my iPad and my iPhone almost interchangeably except that my
phone is with me all the time and my iPad is not.

I guess that isn't especially helpful. Lol! If you have some specific
tasks in mind I can try to address your questions.

Re: accessible Journal app

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Sarai,

Mac Journal is good and works well on my iPad and iPhone. You can also
sync across devices but only apple devices so no windows access. But
if the windows access is not a deal breaker for you, I highly
recommend this app.

T-mobile customers, I have a problem with voicemails being delayed

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi All,

This question is directed particularly to anyone who is a T-Mobile
customer, though I would be glad to hear from anyone else who has seen
this behavior.

On more than one occasion, I have seen long -- and I mean days long --
delays in receiving voicemails on my iPhone 7 with T-Mobile. For
example, someone left me a voicemail on Monday night and I didn't
receive it until this morning.

When I called T-Mobile to complain I was told that the delay is caused
by my phone having been connected to the wifi network in my house and
that the only way to address the problem is to be disconnected from
wifi. This explanation seemed so absurd that I questioned the customer
service rep, even repeating the information back to her. She assured
me that this was the "solution" that was recommended by apple for what
is a known issue.

As I said, this is not the first time I've seen this problem since
becoming a T-Mobile customer. However, it is the first time I could
exactly pinpoint the time-line of the delay. But the solution of not
connecting to wifi just seems ridiculous.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I feel like this is something I really
can't live with.

Kim

Re: chanin speech on iPhone

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Carolyn,

I'm npot exactly sure what your question is, but here is how you add
or delete things from the roter on your iPhone.


Go into settings then general then accessibility. The first category
is vision and right below that you will find "voiceover on." Perform a
single finger double tap. Don't worry that won't turn off VO.

On the next screen the first entry will say voiceover on. This is
where VO may be turned on or off. Continue flicking down the screen
until you reach the "roter" button and double tap it. The next screen
will show all the elements you can have in your roter. If you explore
it you will find some elements will say selected and some not. This is
probably self explanatory, but selecting will include the element on
your roter and unselecting it will exclude it. Once you have the roter
configured the way you want, double tap the button in the upper  left
corner that says voiceover back. Keep double tapping the back button
until you have backed out of settings entirely and are back on your
home screen.

I hope this helps.

Re: Do others have issue with iPhone performance when talking on wired earpods with phone in pocket?

[Kimber Gardner]

While I haven't experienced the particular scenario you described, I
have seen something similar when attempting to dictate a text while
using the wired earpods. The results of the dictation are completely
garbled and show no resemblance to what I actually said. I dictate on
my iPhone quite often and with a very high degree of accuracy except
in the scenario I just described.

Not sure what the common thread may be, but it's interesting to hear
that others are experiencing the same type of behavior.

Well I was hoping the app would be more accessible than the web site,

but it's nice to know it's available.

Anyone using SunBasket for meal delivery?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I just signed up with SunBasket to try out the service. However I'm
having trouble selecting meal options and identifying what I've
selected. I've tried both the iPhone app and the web site but found
both to be confusing and not easily managed. If anyone is using this
service without sighted assistance I would love some tips.

Alternatively, if you're using some other meal delivery service like
Blue Apron or one of those I would like to hear about that as well.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Continous Reading in Voice Dream

[Kimber Gardner]

That's really not an answer. For example, much of my reading in voice
dream is recipes where continuous reading is not feasible. This is why
the repeating of words is less of a problem than skipped words.

Re: Continous Reading in Voice Dream

[Kimber Gardner]

Yes, I have noticed this behavior. In fact, it started I think after I
noticed and reported that the last few words on every page were being
skipped. After the next update, I started noticing the repetition of
the last few words on every page. I figured it was better than missing
words so never reported it.

Re: Only in iCloud?

[Kimber Gardner]

I'm not an expert with using Pages by any measure, but a brief
exploration of the app shows a "locations" button where you can
indicate whether you want your documents saved locally to your device
or to the cloud. I think if you save locally you will have to back up
to the cloud to have the docs saved there, but you should have access
to the local content when you want it if you handle it that way.

New email list for blind and visually impaired users of Amazon Echo devices

[Kimber Gardner]

Posting with moderator's permission.

Hi All,

With all the discussion of devices in the Echo universe, I thought it
might be helpful to have a user group specifically for users who are
blind or visually impaired. The group is new but you are welcome to
join and contribute to the discussion if you'd like.

To join, send a blank email to, vi-echo+subscr...@groups.io

Thanks and I hope to see you on the list.

Re: Mark on Echo

[Kimber Gardner]

Well, before I got the Echo I was just using the calendar local to my
iPhone. But when I started playing with Alexa I found that iCloud
calendar worked well since I could have my events proliferated across
my devices. So not only do my events show on my iPhone and my Echo,
but I also see them on my iPad which I never could before.

There are other choices for calendar linking in the Alexa app. iCloud
is just the one that seems to work the best for me.

Re: Mark on Echo

[Kimber Gardner]

Kay,

Like almost all things Alexa you set up the calendar linking through
the app which works pretty well on the iPhone. It's been a while since
I did it, but I don't remember having much trouble getting my iCloud
calendar account linked. I did have to clear out a couple other
calendars from my phone, but once I did that everything works like a
dream. And yes, it is very handy.

Re: Mark on Echo

[Kimber Gardner]

I felt the same as you do which is why I got the first one when it was
only $29. I figured for $29 even if I didn't use it or like it I
wasn't losing very much. But I've found several uses for my echoes and
sometimes it is just fun.

Re: Mark on Echo

[Kimber Gardner]

I have to say I bought my first Echo around Xmas when they were deeply
discounted. Since then I have purchased three more and now have them
all over my house. At first I found the iOS Alexa app a little spotty
in its performance. Sometimes I would tap and nothing would happen.
Things have gotten some better with the last update.

Like Mark I mostly use Alexa for music playback though I have to say
it was a breeze to integrate my calendar and contacts from my iPhone.
Now I can tell Alexa to add events to my calendar and see them on my
iPhone. Likewise, I can add items to various lists and see them on my
phone.

I also use Alexa to control lights and the thermostat in my house.

Echo? Yes, totally worth it.

Don't want to see everyone's numbers in a group text

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is even possible. I'm currently part of a group
text with around a dozen people most of whom are not in my contacts.
Consequently, each time I receive a reply I have to listen to all
those phone numbers read out before I get to the content of the
message and it's super annoying. Is there any way of hiding all these
numbers or quickly moving to the message part of the text?

Thanks

Problem with the latest you tube iOS update

[Kimber Gardner]

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior with the latest
you tube update. With a video playing, when I tap the collapse video
button the play doesn't stop. In order to stop play I have to perform
either a two finger double tap or locate the pause button and double
tap it. So I guess the bottomline is the collapse button isn't
working. I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone 7.

Re: Battery Plunge

[Kimber Gardner]

Ever since updating to iOS11 my battery status has been doing really
strange things. I've seen the dramatic plunges in percentage though
not to 0 in a matter of minutes. I have also seen strange bounces in
battery percentage like 93% that suddenly plunges to 50 or less then
shoots back to around 90 when the phone has not been plugged in or
charged in any way. Often I can correct the behavior by powering down
the phone, but it only fixes it for a time. I chalked it up to iOS11
but I don't know for sure. This is the first post I've seen from
someone who also has been seeing this behavior.

Re: Big Seeing AI update

[Kimber Gardner]

It seems a bit random because I am running iOS11 on an iPhone 7 and I
never saw the update under the update tab. What I did was delete the
app from my phone then redownload it. When it redownloaded I had the
updated version. Very strange.

Re: Free Writing App?

[Kimber Gardner]

Denny,

What writing was that? Also, I couldn't find a novel idea in the app
store. Do you have a link?

Just as a point of information, I was going to try the writer app, but
every time I tap the more tab the app causes my phone to freeze.
