Suggestion for the december campaign of the month

I know the campaign of the month has gotten some good results before, so I'll throw this crazy idea out there and see if it sticks. I'm noticing that more and more apps seem to be effected by this bug in iOS 6 when it comes to VoiceOver and other audio sources like games,and apps like TuneIn Radio, where the audio cuts out when VoiceOver speaks. I know it's possible for each of us to send an email to the accessibility folks at apple, but I'm wondering if we wouldn't stand a better chance with a campaign of the month? This way people can send a clear message to Apple that we'd like to see this problem fixed in a future update. I don't mind it when it comes to some games, but I can no longer play things like Stem Stumper because the audio keeps cutting out so badly that it makes playing nearly impossible. So, what do you guys think?

Well, I think your thoughts are valid but has some issues to think about. At first I had the same idea when I submitted a post to see all of the bugs we could find on the IOS 6.x. The major problem that arrise was that Apple is very needy when it comes to details. What device? What model? Can you reproduce it? and so on and so on. However, your issue in the audio studdering is very common. I am with you on this. At least we can reproduce this particular problem. The other hand I am certain Apple is aware of a lot of our issues. The question is when and if they will fix those issues? If it were me. I say let's wait for the 6.a to come out because this will be their next major update. If those issues still exist then I say we should seriously consider it. Those are my thoughts. That will depend if others think we should procede on trying to make it as an Campaign of the Month? Lastly, of course I'm glad you have voiced up! The AppleVis Editorial Team will have to determine that. ;) I am with you so I say let wait until v6.1 comes out and then cause a ruckus to the team of having it as a campaign of the month! I'll join you and I'm certain many others would agree. So what are your thoughts and others?

Yep, that's why I suggested the audio bug, because I know loads of people have mentioned it, and it would be easy to reproduce. but yeah, lets wait til 6.1 comes out and if they still haven't fixed it, send a lot of nicely worded notes their way. grin
