First of all, you are asking if your opinion is wrong, and I would say no. Personally, I choose to use the virtual keyboard most times. It does take a little longer if I use one finger to type but it gets the job done. I have also used a Bluetooth keyboard, Braille screen input, and the no longer

There used to be a football game back in the early 90's that ran in DOS, where you could choose any of the current or past NFL teams, along with the top 10 college teams that year, to play each other. I think only pro played pro and college verses college, but still. In that game, you could call

Other than possible health tracking benefits, I would say wait as well. Sure, it must be handy and cool to check things from the watch that you would normally also check from the phone. However, you are dealing with amuch smaller screen area, and the watch still seems like a nice accessory to me.

Dianne, Have you tried wearing earbuds, where one side is open to traffic and environmental sounds, and the other you have an earbud in and are getting information from BlindSquare? I wear hearing aids as well and this setup has worked great for me. Wayne On 4/6/16, Sarai Bucciarelli

I like having BlindSquare in one earbud since part of my daily trip home has me riding on the bus and I don't want to disturb other passengers. Plus, I can listen to tunes while I'm getting information from BlindSquare. The problem I have with bone conduction headphones is most of the ones I have

It sounds like you have typing echo set to nothing on the hardware keyboard. And, that perhaps you have accidentally hit the hide keyboard button on your keyboard. This would cause the software/virtual keyboard not to show up. If you are using the Apple wireless keyboard, the hide keyboard button

iOS 9.3, Apple Music and iTunes Match

Greetings all. I updated my iPhone 6S to iOS 9.3 last night. Last fall I had signed up for iTunes Match in order to keep all my songs in a digital locker in the cloud and take with me to future phones. I've done several iOS updates since then without a problem. Last night though, to my utter

I can see the iPhone SE being the entry iPhone and the bigger phones being the featured products. Which means that it may take awhile before 3D Touch is included on the smaller phone, since Apple wants to attract people to the larger phones. Plenty will buy the small ones, but plenty more will

What I do is when my phone is in portrait orientation, I put 4 fingers on the screen vertically and then swipe to the right or left. This has worked for me every time so far, that is when I remember that I'm doing a 4 finger and not a 3 finger swipe, grin. I have noticed a small delay between when

This may not help much, but if you have an Apple Store in your area then you might want to make a trip there and get someone to look at it. I know not everyone lives close to one but it can be a great resource in times like this. Wayne On 3/24/16, Vicki Ratcliffe

This may sound like an obvious question but here goes. I've updated to VDR 4.0. I enabled sync and my files are in the process of syncing to iCloud. Do I need to keep my focus in the app, or will it do the syncing in the background or if the phone is locked? I did these things last night and when
