Downgrade an app to a previous version

I use Note Master as my note taking app of choice. It worked great until this last update. Now, VoiceOver is reading things that aren’t visible on the screen and it is confusing and frustrating to use. Does anyone know if there is a way I can downgrade to the previous version? Thank you in advance for your help.

If You are looking for an easy way to downgrade an app… There really is none that I am aware of. The only way I was ever successful in downgrading and app, was by using the computer. First, erase the app from your iPhone. Then, connect the iPhone to your computer that it syncs with. Then, find the app in iTunes and force it to resync the app on your phone. The only problem that you may encounter with this method is that the computer already auto updated the version that is saved. And my experiences, I was able to do this successfully though… Good luck!

I have found the same issue and have reported it to the developers. Basically VoiceOver is picking up objects which are hidden behind the forground screen. I've only noticed it happen in a few places and now that I know its querks, I can work around them. Regarding a previous version, if you have not synced your phone with your computer then there is a chance that the older version may be there. Just delete it off your pnone and then sync the phone with the computer. This should do the trick hopefully.
