Introducing VOTimer

Post Date:
Another month, another app; Apple approved my VOTimer today. VOTimer is a simple countdown timer. My design goals for this release were to make a timer that 1. is fast and intuitive to use 2. is usable without touching, in the kitchen your hands are often dirty. 3. is accessible with VoiceOver and providing a low vision friendly UI. 4. will continue to run if I have to exit the app to check something else. 5. has a variety of alarm sounds. To achieve the above, I fitted a big numeric keypad that you can use to enter the time.

Hi

I would like to inform visually impaired readers of an app I initially wrote just to help me and members of our local club (called Helping Hands for the blind) find out where you were around our town but because there was such keen interest I decided to make it more user-friendly, work anywhere in the world and published it on iTunes.

Introducing Yup, a new messaging app for the visually impaired

Post Date:

Hello everyone,

My friend and I recently built a notification app that was inspired by the needs of the visually impaired. It turned out to be a pretty entertaining way to communicate with close friends.

We added a list of humorous sound bites from popular movie and TV moments that users can choose from and send as text and audio notifications with a single touch of a button.

Here are some of the sound clips you can send with just one tap:

Introduction and questions from a happy Android user thinking of getting an iPhone

Post Date:

Hello everyone,

Introduction and some help please

Post Date:
Hello everyone, I am in the Uk. Have just bought an iPhone 5 but at the moment feel totally baffled by it. I have turned on voice over but I must be doing something wrong, because whatever I seem to do the fone doesn't do what I want. Maybe I am not doing the correct finger gestures. I understand that siri must have to be set up but I can not set it up on my own. If someone could give me some help, I would be very grateful. Best regards, Lovable rogue

Intuit GoPayment - new version

Post Date:

Hello

I wanted to announce a new version of Intuit's GoPayment app that includes a visual redesign. We all know that when an app changes, there will be a learning curve to the new interface. This note is to let you know in advance what to look out for.

First off, I want to thank Michael Hingson and Rob Slaughterbeck, who gave me some early feedback on the beta version of the app. Mike's feedback helped us fix a couple major bugs before the official release.

Intuitive navigation GPS app for a UK user

Post Date:
I got my first I phone just before Christmas (I phone 4s) and think its a brilliant device for blind users. The only problem I have is choosing an intuative GPS navigation AP, which works well in the UK and is accessible. I want something that will provide full navigation when walking (road names, house numbers etc) but it is very difficult to pick one, especially when the two in the Apple Vis directory either don't appear to be very accessible and are very expensive. Does anyone have any recommendations?

invalid address error when using apple pay

Post Date:

I've been having this problem for a while now but just getting around to posting about it. I'm still on the latest version of ios14, I can't remember when this started but I think it was in one of the 14 builds perhaps as far back is when 14 was installed. What is happening when I'm using apple pay it gives me an invalid address error and will not go through, however and this is the odd thing if I back out of the apple payment screen and try again it will allow me to proceed with my payment as normal.

Inviting facebook friends with the latest Hanging With Friends update

Post Date:
Hi. I don't usually get a lot of responses when I post something in the forums, but I hope to get some responses here. I updated Hanging With friends to the latest version yesterday, and the game itself is very much still usable and quite fun. The problems start in the area of the game where you invite friends from Facebook. In the earlier versions, you would hear hanging with, followed by your facebook friend's name. However, in this latest version, Zynga has done something that prevents you from hearing your facebook friend's name.
