Hello Everyone,

I recently downloaded the update of MBraille that was released on January 7, 2016. I'm using an IPhone 5S with the latest version of IOS, 9.2. When I use the MBraille third-party keyboard, I can only type in Grade 1, and I can't use gestures like preview, clear, and delete word. It will say, "Delete word gesture requires the paid version and full access in Settings." Full access is enabled, I purchased the full version and have restored my purchases, so I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi:I noticed this too, and sent an email to the developer. hopefully, I here back quickly" In the meantime, I am trying, again, to get use to Apple's braille screen input. For some reason, it either won't put in new lines, or it won't speak the new line command. Also, I can't seem to get a space by blicking with any finger accept my right middle one. I would much prefer to use my left index.

Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only person experiencing this problem. I wasted the $39.95 by buying the full app in an attempt to correct these issues, but I guess that can go towards supporting the developer's projects, since it is generally a good app and I expect the blindness market isn't a huge one.
I ended up writing to the developer as well, so with any luck, they will be able to fix the issues soon. In the meantime, I would definitely advise against updating to this version. As far as I can tell, you can use MBraille's keyboard within the app, but the third party keyboard doesn't work, and neither do the options to use Facebook, Mail, SMS, etc.

Hello. After updating MBraille to the latest version, Have you lauched the app itself for a while and closed it before using third party keyboard? That used to help me and everything was fine.
