Hi, I’m using a Braille Sense U2 with an iphone 8 running IOS 13.1.3 and I’m really disgusted with how this combination is working, particularly when it comes to doing any kind of lengthy text editing. Cursor routing becomes erratic. Voiceover can slow down and crash. It’s just awful. I could

Hi, Over the past year that I’ve had my iPhone 8 it has run hot, which, by the way, is not uncommon. Consequently the battery swelled and the left side of the screen above the mute switch and volume controls separated from the chassis just enough that I could insert a fingernail. I don’t have

Hi all, Once again I’m writing about the native Mail app for IOS. As many of you know, I’ve fussed aplenty about focus issues with VoiceOver and other issues that contribute to my love/hate relationship with Mail. I won’t belabor those things lest I be tempted to launch into yet another rant,
