Hi Ed. When you say navigate the search results in the App Store by headings, do you mean rotate your fingers until the roter says headings? If so, after you've set the roter to headings, how do you navigate the headings? Shawn Sent from my white Mac Book -- You received this message because

The single-finger vertical flick navigates to the next item set via the rotor. So, if rotor is characters, vertical flick navigates one character at a time. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone On 27/09/2012, at 19:16, Shawn

Hello Shaun, yes rotate your fingers until you hear headings, then you flick one finger up to go up the headings to the top of the page, and flick one finger down to go down the page towards the bottom of the page. Any of the options in the roter are performed with either a flick up or down, I

Hi Ed and others. I actually answered my own dumb A** question last night. I went into the App Store, changed the roter to headings, and sure enough, I was able to navigate the search results properly. Before I did this, I used to press and or hold down either side of the screen to navigate

Hello, first off… I don't find the app store any harder to use with voiceover. So what Apple moved around some tabs, people will always say that they like the old way of doing things, mostly because they are used to them. I don't find the app store or iTunes harder to use. Also with the way the

I don't think the store has been down graded. Nothing wrong with it. I just used it without thinking about it. People do not like change and probably Apple will do something although they are obliged to do nothing. I hope they don't think that visually impaired people are ungrateful.

Using it is no problem and I think over all it is an upgrade. I can't help but wonder if the reason it was covered was because it was another opportunity to put a negative spin on the IPhone and things related by the media. The media and the press, in my view, they seem to absolutely hate the
