Using version 2.11.5 of this app on an iPhone 8 Plus and a 9.7 inch iPad Pro both running iOS 15.2. The app is completely inaccessible. The media art is not even recognized by VoiceOver asn individual pictures. Buttons on the bottom toolbar read, but can't select anything else. Not sure what happened between the time the above comments were written and now, but the app is unusable to me.

Has anyone figured out how one streams their local NBC channel? Loading the channels tab just brings up a massive list of channels and tv shows.

Hello all,
I manage to figure out my issue with streaming my local NBC affiliate which is WFLA here in the Tampa area. One needs to get the highest paid tier, peacock premium plus subscription as oppose to peacock premium which is what I originally had.
While the app has improved greatly since it's inception, there are still a few issues with scrolling and navigation using voiceover. Moreover, to my understanding, there doesn't appear to be any audio description available.
the service is more or less useable with anyone using voiceover. My one gripe I would have is the fact that the navigation and scrolling is pretty inconsistent. For instance, when flicking past a list of live or streaming content, if you were to navigate with headings to get to the next section then navigate back, peacock drops you right where you left off. For some, this may be a good thing but I would like to be either dropped at the beginning of the list or at the end.
If anyone is interested in a short audio demo of the app, I'd be happy to record something.
Thanks

There are also issues with voiceover focus which doesn't always stay where you are. A question I have is how do you get rid of a show you no longer want to watch. I have a couple in the favorites that I would like to get rid of. Thought I would like them but don't.

By Michael on Sunday, February 5, 2023 - 18:31

Waht I found works for now at least is going into the show or movie page, then double tapping on the add to list button. There isn't any kind of indication that an item has been added or removed but if it is already in your list, this should remove it.

Hi Michael, Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I recently heard that this app has become more accessible, but I am still unable to find how to get Audio Description. Can someone please help?

By Michael on Sunday, March 5, 2023 - 18:31

Hi there,
Not all titles have AD. Have a look at https://adp.acb.org/peacockad.html for a list of titles with audio description (updated regularly).

By Misty Dawn on Sunday, March 5, 2023 - 18:31

Actually, I had read that Parks and Recreation on Peacock had AD, but, when I started watching the Pilot episode and when I was finally, through some finagling able to get to the Audio/Language settings, the only setting there was regular English. I have alerted ADP to this inaccuracy.

By Michael on Sunday, March 5, 2023 - 18:31

Hello,
If you look at the link I provided, you'd see AD is available from season 5 through 7.
So, the pilot episode, sadly will lack AD.
