Version 3.6

Scratching my head on this one as the accessibility seems to have been seriously damaged in the latest update. Oh, and a link to the app in the iTunes store might be a good idea. :) What's New in Version 3.6 ◆We heard you – we’re proud to release a feature many have requested.

Problems?

Hello sockhopsinger, Just gave this a download. Wanted to give this a try for myself. Besides a few unlabel button and that the Open Menu at the top left corner is puzzling. I found it for the most part accessible. What kind of issues were you having?

Shoing: Rhapsody is Offline?

Hello, I have been using the Rhapsody app for a couple of years now as I am a rhapsody subscriber. after installing this latest update several days to a week or so ago, I no lonter can get to the tabs that were at the bottom of the screen, such as search, library, etc. I am also getting a message, (it's not a pop up just down the screen), that Rhapsody is offline and that I should check my network connection, of course other apps are able to pull from Wifi and cell data. Is this what your experiencing? thanks.

Yes

You nailed it right on the head. Those are the exact problems I am facing. This update came out yesterday, and before that everything was accessible.

maybe I can help

Hello guys, maybe I can help. Just ignore the rhapsody is off line message. this is how you bget to the tabs at the bottom, you do a 4 finger sideways swipe from left to right until you are on page 1. then do it again, and then you should see the tabs at the bottom. I e-mailed the developers about this, and they agree that they need to improve voiceover on this application. But feel free to let them know az well. Hope this helps.

Most Recent Update of Rhapsody is Inaccessible

With the latest Rhapsody update, my iPhone 4s is listed as "offline." With the help of a sighted person, I was able to get to my settings screen to ensure that "force offline mode" was turned off. It was. Toggling it did not help either. Although I can play the music that is listed on the opening screen, I can no longer access settings, search, my queue or my library.

see Comment 5

It is clunky until fixed, but Comment 5 above tells how to get to the tabs.
