Well, that seems to answer the question. Some apps won't let you decide for yourself. That is stupid beyond belief.
I'd be complaining loudly to Apple as well as the app developer. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

One example that I dealt with recently was the TV Guide Mobile app. Upon launching the app, there was a screen that informed you of an update, and the only action you could take was to tap an OK button. Upon updating, I was confronted with a totally different layout that was inaccessible.

Are there some specific apps you can site as examples? I've not run into this. Do you have automatic updates turned off in your iPhone settings?

Hi all, Recently I've noticed a rather disturbing trend in various iPhone apps. Frequently when an update is available I am presenting with an update button upon opening the app in question. This is okay except when there is no way to get past this screen without doing the update. As any voiceover user knows, there are times when an update breaks accessibility. If the app is one that I use frequently I often want to wait to be sure that vo will still work,. Is there a strategy -- aside from writing to the developer -- to skip these forced updates and continue using the version of the app that is currently working for me? Thanks for your thoughts.
