So glad I did not update it this morning
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2023 8:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: My Analysis Of the SiriusXM and StarplayrX Apps Another accessibility issue is Sirius XM will not respond to the two finger double tap to pause or play. You have to open the app and find the play/pause button and do a one finger double tap. You can say, Siri, play the nfl on sirius xm and it will play. Today, of course, that is just the Thursday night game. We shall see on Sunday if you can select a particular team with Siri but again, to pause it, you have to open the app. Pretty irritating. You can use the search tab. I've not had any issues finding the tabs at the bottom. I simply touch the bottom edge of the screen and there is discover, search, and library.

Hi Group, I also got the error with the StarplayrX app. It says 'error logging in; your IP address has been blocked for 24 hours because of too many log-in errors.' This is odd because I can still log in with my SiriusXM App and can connect without any issues. As concerns the SiriusXM app itself, it is a definite decline in accessibility. I can get to many areas, but the app is much more graphical and has a huge amount of clutter that VoiceOver just doesn't handle properly. When I wanted to go to the NFL portion of sports, it took me five minutes to do this. Now maybe I'll get used to it and it will take less time over the next weeks and months, but it is bad in several ways. I am not sure,but I think that the screens are like a roller item because once I am on a particular page, I never seem to reach the tabs at the bottom. I see the various tabs, but I used to do a three finger swipe a few times and get to the bottom where the tabs were located or I could move slowly with one finger over the screen until I reach an area near the bottom and I would see the tabs. It is as if the tabs are moving or in the middle of the page or something I am not sure of. Using the three finger swipe up and down to turn pages is now essential, but it is never as accurate as using the single finger left/right to move item by item. More and more apps seem to be switching to this method and display more information per screen but give you less movement with screen reader commands. Spectrum TV app changed to that kind of interface in September and I am finally getting somewhat use to it. It is still much more difficult and less accurate to get to a particular station than it used to be. I have reported this via the settings/feedback to both the SiriusXM App and the StarplayrX app developers and hopefully (I doubt it) they may be able to restore some accessibility. Yes, the items generally speaking do read and identify, so given enough time, I can find things. When I first logged onto the SiriusXM app, it asked me to enable Siri for the app. I thought this might enable me to give a command such as: Siri, open the NFL portion of the SiriusXM app' but this does not work. I wonder what you can do with the SiriusXM app and Siri. -- Signature: For a nation to admit it has done grievous wrongs and will strive to correct them for the betterment of all is no vice;Hi Group, For a nation to claim it has always been great, needs no improvement and to cling to its past achievements is no virtue! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
