An interesting article that I read over on AppAdvice. Didn't contain anything more that I didn't know but for some this may be new to you.

This is for all of you music lovers out there. I'm going to be doing a podcast on another generative music app that I found. It's called Noatikl. The app is free, but if you want to Be able to save the files you make with it, you have to pay $10. What would help me most is if you would all tinker around with it and tell me what you want to learn. I learn a lot faster than most people, at least when it comes to technology related things like new apps, so even though I just started this last night I Am already sure I can teach a lot of it to you.

Hi all. I check frequently for updates, I've never seen this. Instagram was the only update, so after checking what's new i clicked update, not update all. Now, the app store says i have one update available, the update all butoon is dimmed, and instagram is able to be opened from the open button. Has anyone seen this and is there a way to fix it? I'm running latest ios and iPhone 5. I had to reboot the phone, thanks bluetooth issues, and I thought that might help, saddly nope. Is there anyone who can help? Thanks.

Hi all,
I've just updated the Yes Chef app to the latest version 1.3.8. Although the app still has some issues, especially understanding my East London English accent, I still believe that it is a good app for blind people who cook.

Hello all!
I just figured I'd let every one know that Braigo is FINALLY working again and back online! Don't know what caused the crash, but who cares?! I don't know what made me do it, but I just figured I'd try logging in again for the upteenth time. I thought I'd get the same message again, but I didn't! Then I tried to upload a photo and that was successful! While I'll still keep the OCR. app on there as backup and also to use for other stuff, I'm glad Braigo is back! It will go back in my dock, where it belongs! At beast in my opinion!

Hello AppleVis!!
I'm writing to give you an update on something that was posted to the Gen. Chat thread a few months ago about an article on TechCrunch about an app by Braigo Labs, that reads memes & how it was in beta!

Good evening all.
Over the last day or so I have been trying to assist a friend to get iMessage working via her Apple Id. Well over 24 hours has passed and, as Apple stated on their support pages, she can now receive iMessages from her Apple Id! Yes!
Thank you all for trying to assist in this matter. We're so glad that it's now working.
So there you have it. If you have an iPhone and you wish to activate iMessage using your Apple Id, please give it 24 hours or so before trying it. Before then people will try to send you an mms, which may incur charges.
Kind regards
Chris.

If anyone is trying to add an RSS feed to their News app, and it's not loading, it's due to the News app's integration with Safari. I have been in contact with Apple support, and they gave me the steps.
First, go to Settings.
From there, select Safari.
In the Safari settings, go to something like Clear History.
Double tapp that, and you'll be asked if you want to do that. Double tap on Yes, and all your old history is wiped out, both on your phone and on iCloud.
I hope this helps someone. Thanks.

I have been having this problem since a couple of days now,where if I double tap on the update tab it just shows a heading named updates,and that's it. I have restarted the phone,waited a few minutes,connected it to my wifi just in case my 3g was acting up,no go.
I have even turned off vo and had a friend tap the updates tab, they said that it loaded for a while then nothing. just the heading and nothing in the updates.
The update tab does show I have 8 updates available,though.
Anyone else experienceing this problem?

Hi everyone,
Despite the accessibility issues described on the Gmail entry in the App Directory of this site, I use the Gmail app to receive instant push mail notifications on my iPhone and iPad.
An update to the Gmail app became available today, version 2.0.1 and it appears that several accessibility problems have been addressed. Although the issues with the Menu button and the menu bar on the left are still there, all buttons now appear to be correctly labeled and composing new mails seems to function correctly now!

Morning all, I posted the below as a follow-up comment to a forum post. This is really cool news, so I'm reposting it here for those who may not have been following the Apple TV thread:
Serotek has recently released an update to their IBlink Radio app, which now allows their customers to access Samnet content from their I-Devices. I have
used this feature quite a bit while at home and on the go, to listen to audio-described movies and TV shows. It's awesome!

Hi all. For once, I'm not asking something. I just thought I'd let you know, if you weren't aware. In the newest Facebook, released I think two days ago, you can once again, poke, people. Now I don't know how to start the poking war, but I obviously can respond accordingly. Ah, brings me back to the old aim warning wars. My guy used to out of nowhere start doing it to be a bonehead. :) Anyway thought some of you might be interested.

Hi folks!!
I just figured I'd drop a note that Messenger has fixed the typing issue!! Finally!! If you get the latest update, it will fix the issue! At least it did for me!!
Just figured I'd drop every one a line and update you all on this, since this was quite a pain in the rear end!!

Updated Omron connect app not allowing me to login unable to pick country anyone else having this issue or can you offer me some kind of guidance on how to get through this using Apple 2020 SE updated to 14.6

Well, after updating to iOS 13.1 same problems for me. VoiceOver will not go to Bluetooth speaker, and even more annoying, irratic volume on voiceover in phone speaker when connected to bluetooth. Very soft to very very loud. Also, media destination although highlighted in VoiceOver settings/rotor is not showing up. Well, at least it's no worse than before but I won't update my IPad until these issues are resolved. Tried EMailing accessibility at Apple, no response, so don't know if the EMail went in the computer's circular trash bin or not.

Update 09/17/2024
Remember when it used to take 10-15 seconds to get image descriptions back? After this update, it should only take from 3 to 5 seconds. Additionally, now you should easily be able to send 15-20 images through Describe Photos with no issues. I haven't yet updated the messaging when sharing large amounts of photos though, just because I don't have enough data on what the limits will be. Also, you should no longer see the "image too large" or the "image not compatible" errors. This typically happened when sharing live photos. Finally, prices are even lower now.

This is a very long battle trying to solve an issue with an automation I created in the Shortcuts app. I have been facing this issue on my old phone SE2 and now it's the same on my 12. I am running IOS 16.6 with the latest security patches/ updates.
