RE: Problems with the Walmart App
Walmart just can't leave their web site or their iPhone App alone. They have constantly changed it around twice a year for years now. Every change, I loose some functionality. I recently placed an order with my iPhone instead of my Windows 10 PC. I would love to be able to tell every one exactly how I managed. But, by the time I got the order placed, I had no idea as to what steps I would need to reccomend. It can be done if you are willing to go through many many, more swipes than before. One step forward for us. Three steps back. Again and again. What a massive headache. Sorry for the rant.

Re: Problems with the Walmart App
Hi, I don't know if this suggestion will help or not, but what do you have to lose? Turn the rotor & make sure that "Describe Images" is turned on. If this feature is not in the rotor, go to settings, accessibility, voiceover & swipe down to rotor & add it. It is my experience that in some cases screen shots & images with text will be read by voiceover if the feature is on.

Problems with the Walmart App
Hello everyone, As many of you probably know, a while back a major update was done to the Walmart App. I think some of the changes were good. However, as with most things, some were not. In some ways, I now find the App a bit more difficult to use. For instance, when I would be ordering groceries, I sometimes like to click on a particular item, and read the details on it. Or especially read the nutrition information. However, I can no longer seem to be able to do this. I think I may know why, thanks to something a friend told me. Apparently, instead of having tabs that I could view, to see either the details, or nutrition facts, it is all now photos. Of course, this isn't at all helpful if you are totally blind. So is there possibly anything I can do about this? I am not one to complain to a company, really. I haven't ever reached out to a developer about their App. I don't know really how to begin to express why this is a problem, in a way that might be helpful. Is this something that I possibly should do? If so, what are some ways I should go about it? I would really like to hear from some of you who have a lot more experience with this. Also, if I don't reach out regarding the App, is there possibly a way to view the information that might be in any of the product photos? Some way that won't be complicated, and add a bunch more steps, to just trying to get groceries ordered? Any thoughts, and help is much appreciated.
