Hi, I was very disappointed with many of the apps I have tried lately. I purchased an Apple TV 4 even though my third gen worked fine because I wanted access to the thousands of channels instead of the 20 or 30 that were available on the third gen. Ok apps as they call them not channels. Anyway, it seems that every time I find an app I really want such as Dove which allegedly has hundreds of hours of family programming. It is not the least bit accessible. As in nothing was labeled to work with voiceover. I have become accustomed to not being able to play games since losing my vision several years ago and not playing graphically intensive games on a PlayStation 4 or other console device. But when I try a news app or a network app and it simply does not allow any voiceover control at all I get very frustrated.

It seems like accessability is going down hill. I am finding more and more apps harder to use with simple voiceover gestures and some apps not accessible at all yet still others you can some what use, but only part of it. Look at the abc app for example. You can find some things, but to try and find a show you only hear the number of the item voice over will not read the shows. I sent in feedback, but heard nothing back. I find myself just not using my apple tv that much any more. I used to watch a lot of shows that I mis during the week, now I just forget about them. So to try and get my interest back in to this device what apps are you all using? I like watching movies, news, weather, mist tv shows and games might be fun. I also would like to have all the local networks such as abc, cbs, fox, nbc and there is more. I know there is the tv app, but my cable provider is on the list of providers, but you can't access the main list of them since mine is not the top few apple shows I'm stuck. Maybe it is me? Thans for any thoughts. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
