Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be looking for that update. Thanks for working with the developers to improve accessibility.

While the new version has a different look and feel, it includes several new features and added functionality that I will let you discover for yourself. The best part is that it is marvelously VoiceOver accessible. In fact, TV Guide has gone out of their way to make sure that we, as blind and low vision users, can enjoy the same functionality as our sighted counterparts. And for you pucker-butts, I am not violating any NDAs in posting to the list. The reason I am posting is to: 1. Inform you that the new version of the App is VoiceOver ready; including the setup and settings areas. 2. Let you know that the new app has a new look and feel that may take a little getting used to but is well worth the effort. 3. If you like reviewing programming via the Favorite channels list, don't worry, it's still there but in a slightly different location but with added functionality. 4. Thanks to the programmers, now VoiceOver users can double tap on any channel number in the general listings grid, to see only the day's listings for that one particular channel Without having to add the channel to the Favorites list. 5. Let you know that the new version of the app will now let you save your Favorite channels, shows, etc in the Cloud so you can access them on all your iOS devices and the TV Guide website. That's right. Select your Favorite channels and/or television shows complete with alerts, and have them synchronized across all your iOS devices. 6. Encourage you to, once you've familiarize yourself with the new app, and assuming that you enjoy it, go to the App store and give the app a good review so that the people at TV Guide will know that we appreciate their efforts. As the saying goes, Stay Tuned. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
