Hi all,
iPhone and iPad
Post Date:
I have used The Podcast App that comes with every iPhone for years. Recently, I can’t find the spot where you can go forward or backward by 10 seconds. In that spot where it used to be, it shows just the date. They probably moved it, since they can’t leave well enough alone. I’m thinking of downloading a different app. Does anyone have suggestions? I found the app that is just called Podcast App. It looks usable, but of course it wants you to login or create an account. I would rather not have to do that.

Hello, not sure if it is a bug, or if it is something I'm doing unintentionally, but for the last few months sometimes my iPhone 14 stop identifying the text on images, and the only workaround is to reboot the iPhone. Haven't found any setting that I can change to start having the recognition of text turn on again. As a matter of fact, it is even affecting the image description. The test I used to confirm that at a specific moment I'm having the problem is by selecting the icon of the X app in my home screen.

Hello, friends!
It's been a while since I've been here, but I'd like to ask you about a behavior that has been bothering me for a while now on iOS.
I believe that everyone who has been using iOS for a few years has noticed that, when using the open applications selector, some applications are indicated as active, that is, they are still open, while others do not show this status, which shows that they are suspended. In fact, Apple itself recommends that, unless there is some problem with overheating or slowness, applications should not be forcibly closed.

You know, 2 or so years ago I would have never imagined I could just pull up a picture on amazon, if it works correctly, and get it described with BeMyEyes, but I've realised something, sometimes to much description is a bad thing.
If I'm reading a meme it might be useful, but if it's a post from a place like r/sh*tamericanssay, not so much.

Hello, friends, I hope you are well.
I can't say precisely when this started to occur, but the fact is that Siri has been triggered only by pressing the side button, you don't need to press. This is very annoying, because I usually use the side button to turn on the screen, and not to call the virtual assistant.
Just to contextualize, I'm using the stable version of iOS, 17.2, on an iPhone 11 Pro Max in perfect condition. Now that I'm writing, the behavior occurred twice.

Hello to all. I am back into sonar islands at least for now. I love the game however I'm having serious issues wiht the keyboard when typing with my tribe. It appears to use its own direct touch interface as explained below.
Characters are spoken wrong , such as “capshial” for “capital”, and button placement often feels inaccurate. I would prefer to use the standard keyboard; however, the help documentation appears to be out of date, which has made it difficult to find clear guidance.
If anyone has any InSite it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all. Long story short, I put a couple of games on my dad's phone, he got a message something along the lines o, Do you want to use this device for automatic downloads? He ignored it, deleted it, now any song I get is synced fine with the Mac, it's my account, but it's stuck "Waiting", sitting in the downloads tab of itunes. Can anyone help? If i have to reset something that's fine. Also does anyone know the easiest way to browse to text alert tones? Using the Mac, I meant. Thanks so mcuh.

Good afternoon,
I’m in the process of trying to transfer all my music from Spotify to Apple Music.
In an effort to make this process easier, I’m trying to use the SongShift app but my shifts keep failing.
Any advice?

I have been in contact with Sonos support because I have some problems with the voice over in their app for the iPhone. I've written about this before.
The link below is a proposal that will make Sonos more accessible for users with VoiceOver, android and more. The more people that go in and like the proposal the more likely it is that they do something.

Picture this: whenever dinner is ready, or you are simply feeling lazy and cannot be bothered to get up, you could reach the others in the household. And you have wanted an easier way to do it. Then I might have the solution for you.
I have made an app for iPhone and Apple Watch called Sonos Announcements.
With it you can send messages to all of your speakers or to individual ones.
It looks at the speakers that are connected to your wifi. No extra account is required. And everything that is sent stays local.

Hi to those of you who own a Sonos,
I'm thinking of buying a Sonos sound system, and was wondering whether accessibility has been consistent, and whether you have had any interactions, positive or negative,with the Sonos company concerning accessibility? I know the app is currently accessible, but I would like to know more about this company's commitment to accessibility before I shell out $1000 plus on a sound system. Of course any decision to purchase will be mine, and I won't hold you responsible!!!
Take care

There is an iOS app, Soro - For Sonos, which allows you to set up interesting shortcuts and automations for Sonos speakers. However, it costs $7.99. Does anyone know if it's accessible? I'd have no problem buying it if I knew I could actually use it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soro-for-sonos/id1550457805

Here's the thing, Im still using the old Facebook before redesign as personally for now prefer it. Since I updating to iOS 6 tho all works fine except the sort button has disappeared so can't change the selection from top stories to most recent. Anyone else still have this version of the app and have this issue?

Hi everybody.
This could go in Mac too, but since I'll mostly be using it on the phone, I figured I'd post here. I have a book series. I painstakingly named the files so they'd sort, like so:
02 - A Book In the Series.epub
03 - The Next Book in the Series.epub
04 - A short Story.pdf
05 - Yet Another Book in the Series.epub

Anyone know of any accessible sound amplifier / hearing aid apps for deafblind / hard-of-hearing blind folks?
(I myself only have a mild hearing loss and would only need such in very specific certain situations. Would be nice just to hae an app fro such situations.)
Thanks.

Hi,
I will explain my bugs with detail, also what device I am using.
So, the problem I have is VO and the sound on my iPad as well are breaking. What this means is that vo or the sound of what I listen to pauses, then resumes, but in a lower volume. Then eventually, it pauses again and blasts out of the speakers. I am trying to prevent this from happening by resetting and rebooting my device, but it just keeps coming back.
What should I do?
My device is an iPad Mini running 9.3.1.

Hi, something I have noticed for a really long time now is that when I use dictation, the sound disappears on my phone like it has powered off. However, when I asked my mom to look at the phone, she told me that it is still on. So I plugged in my earphones and was able to get sound. Once I unplug the earphones, there is still no sound until I restart my phone by holding down the sleep and home buttons... Every update, I hope this bug to be fixed but it never happens... I have sent many bug reports to apple about this too...
I'm using ios 10.3.1 on iPhone 5
