Hi all,

It's world Emoji day! So it got me thinking, what's the easiest way to find emojis using voiceover? There are so many. I liked how it worked before, when there were separate pages of them. Thoughts?

Hello guys,
Well I bought a magic keyboard the other day to hook up to my iphone SE. I am a lawyer and wanted to be able to take notes during a trial, and then use voiceover later to have the phone read my notes. When I was messing around with the "Notes" app that comes on the phone, the problem I ran into is the voiceover would read the entire document instead of stopping after my first note. My thought was that I could have the voiceover read the first note and stop, and when I was ready to get to the next point i wanted to talk about I can just swip the screen.

Hello all. Is it better to install a new IOS over an old one or to do a clean install. I know clean installs work better for computers so wondered if that were the case for say an IPad or IPhone? If it is better to do a clean install what are the steps someone should take to do that aside from backing up the device?

Hello, So I am late to the Netflix game. I have read the Netflix iOS app entry and it seems that accessibility may be a mixed experience? What is the best way to use Netflix? Via the iOS app or via an Apple TV? Is one more accessible is what I am asking? Thanks.

I'm staying with a family member who doesn't have a stable internet connection, forcing me to use my data. In this area I get 3g. While trying to stream netflix or youtube, the video pauses and restarts every few seconds. Having said this, what is the best way to watch netflix and youtube using this type of connection and not be forced to restart the video?

Hi all,
I am looking for a good weather app to alert me of civere weather. It would also be nice if it had a weather radio included. Does anyone know of anything? I have heard of weather alert but from what I've heard you can't custumize your weather alerts and it's not very voiceover friendly. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Thanks,
Holly

Hi Folks,
I posted this in some existing threads about Clew, but I felt it was appropriate to make a new post in the forum as well.
Based on feedback from many early adopters of Clew (thank you to all!), we are pleased to announce the release of a beta version of Clew that incorporates many of the suggestions we’ve heard from the community.

Hello everyone. First of all, I have gotten permission to post this, since the developer is in a different country and can't post on Applevis do to technical issues.
Anyway, he wants blind users, especially musicians, to test out this app in beta form for IOS. I don't want to spoil too much, but basically it allows you to read with Voiceover sheet music. It's very accessible so far. Very interesting concept... according to the developer, he's planning on releasing the app in a few weeks.
Here's the link:

Good afternoon. I have been using Youversion to read the Bible on my iPhone. I updated to the latest version the other day and now I am not able to find the search box to search for a reference or key word. Is there another accessible Bible app anyone would recommend? Thank you.

Hi, all, I learned from an entry in the directory of this site about an app called Bible.is. I downloaded it because I liked the plans I thought it provided. After downloading and looking around, however, I find that there are no devotionals/Bible study plans with this app. I was interested in a Proverb a Day devotional and 40-day Bible plans, so does anybody know which app has these particular devotionals? I already have the Bible gateway and Bible app from life church and to my knowledge, these devotions aren't a part of either one of these apps.

I, amongst many, have been using the Bible Youversion app. Earlier versions were very accessible. Version 4 lost some access. Version 5, currently, is completely unusable with Voiceover.
Warning, If you haven't, do not update!
I am attempting to contact known people at Youversion, to make them aware of this. I am technical director of Torch Trust, and we publish data on how to use Bibles. Any comments would be useful through this site, or additionally to Torch Trust.

hi all.
does anyone here on the applevis community site have this bug active on your iPhones?
I'm with this big bug active on my phone, and I'm very surprised that no one talks about it, and even more so for not being even part of the applevis website bug list.
this damn big bug is affecting me a lot because I use voice dictation a lot.
I ask you please give some feedback on this damn bug...
I'm pretty sure this big bug isn't just for me. lol.

Hey guys, I have my language and VoiceOver settings set to German. Sometimes I'm reading English content like Reddit or browse Safari and I switch to English from the rotor. However as soon as I touch a toolbar or status bar, or the screen changes like going back a page in Dystopia, VoiceOver constantly switches back to the default German and I have to manually revert to English.
I know it's a longshot, but is there a way to prevent VoiceOver from doing this?

Hi all,
What apps do you use to remind you that bills are due? There must be apps that you can add your electric, comcast and cellphone bills to, and they will send you a notification to let you know it's time to pay the bill. Any ideas would be appreciated.

A few years ago, I got an app called Bird Song Identifier. It was fairly accessible and had a labeled button to record a bird song for identification. Now that it's Spring, I'd like to use it but the recording button seems to have disappeared. What do you all find to be the best, most accessible app for this task? Thanks. Lou
