Hi all. This won't have anything to do with VO because my brother was the one who bought it tonight. To say that thing is thin is an understatement. However, here's what i noticed: when you hold it to your ear, I did it in the vicinity, the screen is so large it feels like your half hidden by it. I realize I'm sure it looks that way to others, but I was amazed it was so thin. I like how they went back to ther ound body. He hasn't set up Apple pay yet, and I don't know if he will. I'm still waiting on someone to actually do a transaction with apple pay.
iOS and iPadOS

I found that navigation by letters is possible on iPadOS14.0.1. I know this might have been available for a while, but still not known by some users. This is only available in the Files app, and QuickNav has to be off. So, open the Files app, then use the keyboard to type first letter(s) to navigate through files and folders.

shortcutsI followed the instructions in the for the first shortcut tutorial concerning a shortcut for voice stream reader. I got a message which inferred that I did not have a reading list, so the shortcut suggested by Thomas Donville was not accepted. I have a large number of books from bookshare so where do I go from here?\

I just got a Fitbit One, and I'm running the Fitbit app on my iPhone 5S.
I thought I read somewhere I could see the battery status in the app, but can't find where. Can I do that?
Can I do things like update my weight or other data? I needed sighted help to put in my weight in the first place.
Any other Fitbit hints people might care to share?
Thanks.

I've decided I need to get fit and have seen other VI people using the Fitbit Flex so, I downloaded the fitbit app last week and was immediately impressed but, two days after I downloaded it, they updated and now I can't get half the features to work. My exercise no longer appears on my dashboard although I can still log food and water. I also discovered that even when exercising on a cross trainer with my iPhone in my pocket, my fitbit didn't seem to register just how hard I was working, yet pedometer++tracked me as having done just under 3000 steps.

I received a FitBit Flex as a gift, which my daughter set up using the IOS app. Can the Fitbit Flex be set up independently with Voiceover? If not, can it be set up with the computer? For either, are there written instructions about an accessible setup posted on AppleVis or elsewhere? I could not find any labeled buttons on my iPhone to set up my FitBit again after a problem.

Hi, Everyone,
I'm a bran new Fitbit user... just got my Charge 2 paired today, and am attempting to complete the setup process. I've found that, using the iOS app, I have to explore by touch pretty much exclusively to try to set up my goals, like hourly activity, etc. A couple quick questions, if I may please:
a. Is there a place where I set water intake and nutritional info... info like that? I thought I initially saw it in the site profile, but am having trouble locating it via the app.

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting myself one of these to track my workouts along with sleep. It would be great to have hard data to measure my performance. I've never bought a product like this, and wonder how easy it is to,
A, setup without eyes around.
B what the IOS app is like with VO?
I can possibly get some eyes to help me set it up if the IOS app is useable.

I am having a lot of trouble adding exercise using the Fitbit app. Until a few days ago, I would open quick actions, pick track exercise, pick log, and then choose the exercise I wanted to add, like Gym. Now, when I pick track exercise, the only option is to track a walk. I recently updated to the latest IOS 11, and am using an iPhone 5S. I have the latest version of Fitbit. Please help.

I keep seeing references to the Fitness Plus App and the issues people are having with it. Where is this app? I can't seem to find it. Thank you.

I have been getting into fitness of late. While my body is getting better, my brain hurts. I wish I could get a consistent quantification of health data. I use a combination of the stock Health, My Fitness Pal, Blind Square, and Zombies Run. I use either a treadmill, or the great outdoors. I will use today's walk for an example of my issues. Let's check the distance. Blind Square said I walked 5.1 miles. Zombies Run, using a set stride length step count said 5.01 The Health app dashboard said 5.67 miles. I cannot find a way to determine how the Health app turns steps into distance.

Below are the five major reasons why you should give 2cBoard a try.

Hi All,
I have just solved a problem regarding Facebook notifications on iOS that has been annoying me for a long time.
Normally, I would receive a notification from Facebook on my iPhone about a comment or mention, but the notification would not have any accompanying sound. This was relatively ok as VoiceOver always alerted me that there was a new notification, but it was a little annoying for me at least.
I think I have found a resolution for the issue I described, and it has worked on my iPhone and another member of my family’s iOS device.

Hello,
I just got an IPhone 6S, and while using MBraille or the Braille screen input, I will type and the soundcard will clip half or all of the character when I'm typing. The beep for Siri is also clipped when using Hey Siri.
Rather than saying "the" I will just here "uh" or rather than "my", I won't hear anything.
I can hear a pop when the sound card turns off and on. A hiss is on when the sound card is working.
I'm running the latest IOS 13 with an IPhone 6S.

Hello All,
Here's a suggestion for a jailbreak app if you're using Flecksy. Actually this is a cool app regardless. It's called LastApp and it allows you to quickly swich to the previous application. So, if you're having a text conversation, it's super easy to switch back and forth between Flecksy and the messaging app. It's customizable so you can configure which means you're going to use to do the switching. I selected the option to hold down the Home button to perform the switch. It's a couple seconds less than what is required to activate the voice recognition on older versions of iOS.

hi again :c
I've just started using fleksy on my iphone 5 on iOS 6 and think its brilliant.
the only problem I have is when I want to go and send a text message.
when I tap the message button in the menu it seems to freeze on me and I cant go any further.
I was wondering whether this is a bug or whether i'm doing something wrong? lol
thanks
