Accessibility issues in Dice World

Hello,

I'm playing Dice World with my father, who is completely sighted. When we play Farkle or One Four Twenty-Four, he can see the total score of each player on the screen. When I swipe, I can see the individual score for each round, but not the total one. Is there a way to see the total score with VoiceOver without having to look at each individual round? Who and should I contact for this? I guess it is the developer of the app, but is there an easy and quick way to contact him? Do you guys have this problem as well being not being able to see the total scores?

Regards,

Olivier

When you find the home icon in the upper left corner of the device, move your finger to the right of this. You will see your score and the other player's score.

I did mention in other comments that swiping should not be exclusively relied upon. Here is proof if that.

When I do this and when my father touches it, VoiceOver plays the sound that we hear as if nothing was under my finger.

Touch the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Home", then flick right with one finger, you will have something like "One four twentyfour with (opponent name", one finger flick right again and you should get the total score. This way works for me.

I have tried it on multiple devices all running the latest versions of Dice World and iOS. It doesn't work for me. Are you on the newest version of iOS? When I looked in the Apps Store, I saw that the game hasn't been updated since a year. Maybe it would need to be updated in order to support iOS 15?

Hi! The method given above to read total scores, going to Home at the top left of the screen then swiping right twice to find the total scores, has always worked for me, in all versions of Dice World and in all versions of IOS: that hasn't changed in the latest version of IOS 15 which I am currently using.

Clare is correct. It has always worked for reading scores. Perhaps you should try deleting and re-installing it.
