I have two problems with Fleksy. First, they discontinued Fleksy VO, so new users or those who lack a backup can't get the app. This would be fine if the primary Fleksy worked, but that's problem number 2: it doesn't. I tried it yesterday, with the latest updates to both it and iOS. I couldn't select word suggestions, I couldn't use punctuation, and at that point I gave up. They've had months to get this working, and they haven't. It's all about themes and new languages now, and while I realize they need to make money, is it so much to ask to bring back the VoiceOver support we know they can do, as they've done it in the past? It's not like this is all new and we're asking for use of an app that has never been accessible. It used to be, they broke things, and we just want the level of accessibility we used to have. They continue to not do this, though, and I'm just done waiting and asking. If it's interest they want to see, well, I'm no longer interested. Between direct touch typing and braille screen input, I don't need Fleksy anymore and I'm done hoping they'll actually put back the accessibility they themselves removed for reasons they won't share. > On Dec 21, 2014, at 1:00 PM, Devin Prater <[email protected]> wrote: > > To me, Fleksy voiceover is the last product by them that was good.
