Hi All,
Is there anything on the site discussing just the features of IOS 10 that work with any of the iPhone 5 series? I have a 5s, but it's my first iDevice of any kind and I only got it last November, and so far all I've done with it is play games and listen to sports and music, mostly using the siriusXM app.
Is the fitbit Charge or Fitbit Charge 2apps accessible with VoiceOver? Is it easy to navigate and use? my wife is trying to find a fitbit app to help monitor her heart rate. I use a Fitbit Flex which doesn't have this information.
I'd love the possibility to add custom gestures to activities. Imagine how nice it would be to have custom gestures for scriviner or pages or whatever word processing app you use. Also, adding gestures for specific functions inside apps, a 2 fingers sweep up to send a message in whatsapp for example.
What do you think?
Hi all particularly in the uk,i have just started using blind square but am wishing for the following to occur. i like how it tells me in x amount of yards bob street with ben street, for example. so i know i am approaching an intersection of the current and next street. however, is there a better but very simlar app, or a way for blind square, to say in our example. you are on bob street then in 20 yards bob street crossing ben street on your right?blind square, whilst not a navigation app, is not saying in which direction the cross-streets go, or can it be set to do this?
i still use
app store, books, camera, mail, maps, messages, news, notes, phone and safari.
of course i use facetime, but never open the app itself. phone, messages and facetime should have been combined into one unified app years ago.
Hey, I gave my old iPad Air to my parents, and I need to buy a new one. Yes, I know that iPad Pro is a little bit expensive, but I think it is cool and the big screen really attracts me. I think the iPad Air 2 is pretty much like my old iPad Air, but it is much cheaper than iPad Pro. Anyone has bought an iPad Pro or is going to get one?
Which is better, Apple Music, Spotify premium, or YouTube premium
Thank you
I have an iPhone 15 Pro.
Under the Battery Settings, "Optimized Charging" is selected by default.
A friend told me that the best way to extend my battery life was to choose "Limit Charging to 80%" instead.
I couldn't find any clear anser on the web for which setting is better.
I generally don't run down my battery to less than 80-85% in any day if it starts at 100% charge, so maybe the 80% limit is good.
Anyway, just looking for other people's suggestions and experience.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am in a little dilemma and need some advice.
The government in my country is able to purchase KNFB Reader for me, but I would like to know if it is worth it as Seeing AI is also available here, and I do not want to waste money unnecessarily.
I have used Braigo Companion and Seeing AI in the past and have had favourable results with both of them, but I also know that the OCR capabilities of Envision AI and KNFB Reader are significantly better.
I would like it if you would answer some or all of the following questions:
hi all, i have noted when on the bus here in the UK and we are driving along something is lacking when I use RNIB navigator. say, for example (and sorry to use peoples names here), i am on alex street and brian and william street are coming up on the left and right at an intersection. if we turn left RNIB navigator is not working as i would expect, like trekker, and saying after playing a sound you are on alex street, as we have turned left.
So my wife (also lacking in the eyeballs department), currently has an Iphone 6S which really isn't doing well (she can't even get the Ap store, and essentially just uses it as a talking mobile phone).
I have an Iphone 8 which I bought in 2018, (apple offered me the 10, but since the only advantage to the ten was facial scanning and camera, I said no thanks).
However, while I like the 8, Apple are probably going to be deprecating that soon enough.
So, it's upgrade time, and I'm wondering which model.
Hi. I just wanted to get some opinions on the different voices available to VoiceOver users in iOS 9. Personally I use the siri male enhanced British voice. It's absolutely perfect for me. But what voice do you guys use? Do you have a favorite?
Morning
Which app is best for a blind person to use on an I-phone for street navigation.
Which object recognition app do you recommend. I am blind, use voice over, looking for free app, at beginning stage of using iPhone. Thank you for your feedback. Gill
Hi, I've been searching for information about Blindsquare. However, this app is quite expensive I'd like to know if it is worth purchasing. I have seeing assistant move and loadstone GPS, and also google maps and Apple maps. I've been playing with lazarillo in fact speech output that overlaps with VoiceOver is a bit annoying. Please tell me if is it worth purchasing Blindsquare.
Hello, all. I'm trying to determin exactly which devices support the new iOS 16 feature of having Siri announce notifications through the device's speaker. I've gotten it to work on my iPhone 13 pro without issue, but the option doesn't even appear to exist on my mom's iPhone 8 plus. The feature was available on my best friend's iPhone 10R, but when she enabled it, it didn't work. She was hoping to use it so that siri would read messages automatically while she was driving, but no matter what we did, it wouldn't activate for her.
So, I learned something today: I hate the native podcasts app. I know, I've red the discussions on here; I'm not the only one. It never used to be a big deal, but now I have a podcast with 120 episodes I'm starting from the beginning. With the app constantly refreshing its content, it's easy to lose track of things. All I want is a podcast app where I can see episodes from oldest to newest, rather than the other way around. I know there are others. I am not searching the forum because I want to know what is "currently" the most useful one. Thanks everyone.
