What's new on new update
Version 3.2.54
Hello, I know that the Youmail app was recently updated to version 3.2.54. Has anyone tested this for VoiceOver accessibility? Judging by past comments, it sounds as though the app should be accessible; however, I just want to confirm this before downloading and getting started with it.
Update
The app is mostly accessible. If you upgrade to the professional plan and edit the auto-attendant menu, the links are not labeled. They listen to your feedback. The best way to reach them is by emailing them at support@youmail.com or calling them at 800-374-0013.
Question for user Melissa Roe
Hi Melissa, You have a podcast on this app? Would you post a link. Could not find it on Applevis. Thanks so much!
Firewall
There is a nice and accessible app that prevents calls that you do not want. $4.00.
This app.
Is this app primarily if your iPhone is a business phone? Will it be beneficial to a personal cell phone user? Thanks.

Great update
Hello,
Just wanted to update people on the status of this app. A couple of weeks ago I contacted support because I found I could not swipe in the folders that contain messages, at least not with VoiceOver.
The update from yesturday fixes this, and I can now find the message i want to move or delete, and flick up or down to find the action I want to do.
There is still a bit of a problem when selecting more than one message though. After tapping the edit button, and selecting messages, VoiceOver will not report which messages are selected, and which are not. For example, saying selected on the messages that are highlighted, and reading the other ones as normal. This would help when trying to handle more than one message.
They did a great job on this update, and I hope they keep it up.
Someone asked if this would be useful as an every day user, and I think it is. The robo call blocking is great for a start, and it has really cut down on the number of robo calls I get over the past few months I've started using it. I don't know if its the tones they play before the out of service message starts to play, but I don't get nearly as many spam calls as I used to.
I am also hard of hearing, and sometimes listening to a voice message as more than I can handle at the end of a day. Reading what a message says in braille or listening to it word by word with speech is much, much, much easier than trying to listen to a message over and over again, to gather what it has to say, sometimes playing with the volume buttons all the while.
iOS has the ability to transcribe messages as well, but i find YouMail dues a much better job at this, not using the underlines scattered throughout the message, and putting periods or camas using the gaps in the message's wording makes for a much better reading experience.
Thanks again for a great app, and a great update!

Works now
Hi, thank you for being so quick to reply to these comments.
I don't know what happened, but when I started the app today, selecting messages works as expected.
My phone was acting up earlier that day, and I restarted it, and everything works good now.
Great To Hear
Our pleasure, Jesus! We're glad to hear that it's working now. If you ever experience any other bugs, feel free to let us know here or at support.youmail.com or on Twitter (@youmailsupport).

Youmail
Hi I just tried setting up an account and the app crashes when I try to put any information into the text fields. Also, I try typing with voiceover on and it doesn't put in what I type, it just makes noises. I had an account several years ago but I changed email addresses since then.
Unread messages no longer have VoiceOver label for Unread status
While this was fixed about two years ago now, this bug has cropped up again. All messages just read out VoiceMila from , sender's name/number, and date and time information.
Messages that have not been read/heard yet are no longer marked as such in text/VoiceOver label.
I have tried emailing support, but have yet to get back to it with debug logs and possibly a Video/screenshare.
Tried Signing Up
I tried to sign up because I had heard it's a great alternative to the native visual voicemail feature of the phone app for IOS but it won't let me enter my 10-digit phone number, so I've hit a roadblock.
