Hi everyone. Last night at the weekly mandatory meeting here in my apartment complex, our new next-door neighbor mentioned a messaging app called Marco Polo, which he uses and would like to try out as a means of communicating with us. I vaguely remember hearing about it here on AppleVis awhile back, but my search only turned up 2 unrelated things. Is this app still around and if so, how accessible is it with VoiceOver? This new neighbor is very flexible, and told me that if Marco Polo won't work for me for whatever reason that's fine.
iOS and iPadOS

Hello
I just installed the new app "marspot audio" that gives the ability to create short (5 seconds) location based audio files that can be played by everone that walks on the street.The app is only available when you use an American apple ID. The buttons are not all labled.
What is your opinion about this new app?

Hello,
I think this is my first post on Apple Vis and I am very excited to gain the wisdom of the great users here. I am very intrigued by the Marvin Pro app and am concerned with its accessibility given the $10 price tag in the App Store. Marvis is an alternate way of using Apple Music that has a ton of features Apple did not include in its app.
Any comment on the accessibility of Marvis would be so helpful!

Hello There,
This is an important message as I have a couple of questions.
1. I'm considering getting a Mastodon Account, which I'm totally interested in, but I feel sort of reluctant at the same time because my Facebook Account was totally hacked a couple months ago and I would like to know if the Mastodon App is safe to use? Plus, if I were to be apart of mastodon.applevis.com do I need to create an account, as well as download the app first? Also, do I need a profile picture of myself when creating a Mastodon Account?

One thing I noticed about the Mona for Mastodon client is some options appear missing if you haven't purchased it. This is going off the LivingBlinbfully tutorial. So I would recommend purchasing Mona first. What I find confusing is how to search for example I can't find the living blindfully profile to follow. I also can't find David Goldfield who I know is on there. Maybe it is just me but I think this is why Mastodon hasn't been widely adopted.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do math on the iPad? I see the option to have equations read out in nemeth braille in the braille settings, but haven't had any luck either finding equations, or writing them out. I'm wondering if this is possible? If so, how would I go about doing so?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matthew

Hey... We've all seen it .. on Twitter .. and it might look cool for sighted folks, but it makes very little sense with VO under iOS.
I am of course talking about the Mathematical Doublestroke, insert letter, here.
Has anyone found a way around reading this font?
Or, not reading this font. :)
Thanks.

For those of us who are using iOS devices and studying, researching.
and/or working in the technical-related fields, e.g. science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Are there any iOS
apps, which allow one to either create, edit/manipulate, and/or view
math/science formulae and/or graphics.
MathML, LaText, and/or SVG can be embedded in DAISY3, EPUB3, and/or
HTML5; it can be done in an accessibel manner, but I have been unable
to find any iOS apps that allow creating, editing/manipulating, and/or
viewing STEM content.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Kevin

Note Please add bugs with the May 29 update you have experienced firsthand to this post.
One. The two finger Z gesture to jump back a screen is still broken
Two. On the now playing screen towards the end right before the “more“ button, voice over lands on control but says nothing and this needs to be correctly labeled . Single finger double tap actually Opens up the output selector window to choose which rooms I want to play the current queue list on.
Three . Two finger double tap gesture to play pause music from any Sonos app screen is still broken with VoiceOver

Hey.
I've got a question. And it may be a dumb 1 but...
will there be any podcasts & posts about ipad-Os. when or before it drops on the 24th? Or are the podcasts & posts you did for Ios. cart of ipad-Os.?

How does one report these to Sonos and request fix in next app update? I'm concerned given their recent debacle and their customer base is predominantly sighted people, sending these to the Sonos customer service will get lost amongst the predominant bugs reported by sighted users.
1. In the 'now playing ' window, the button to open the diff rooms and select/switch rooms to play currently playing music is unlabeled so Voiceover just says 'button'.

I was hoping to test the progress in accessibility and usability on spare while staying with pre May7 App/FW. However, that idea is dead with the May 21 update the subject says.
I and many other like me, I'm sure will be following Jonathon Mosen's and Apple vis comments and findings with this and future App/FW updates to influence my decision on when to take the update plunge.

Hi,
Post Date:
Have purchased the MBraille third-party keyboard in-app upgrade for $9.99, have added the keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboards, and have allowed full access to the keyboard. In any app I try to use the new keyboard, I hear VoiceOver announce MBraille, but then the QWERTY keyboard pops up in the lower third.
What am I doing wrong? Are there any known issues with MBraille as a third-party keyboard in the latest build of iOS?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Is MBraille working properly in IOS 18? I'm looking forward to trying some of the new BSI features, but do not want to risk losing MBraille.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi,
Since iOS 16 writing with mBraille using smart layout, something that worked perfectly before, is not working for me. I switched to away mode and this is a bit better but not much. Anyone else having this problem? I tried posting to the mBraille list but I never get any trafic from there so I'm not sure what's going on with that list. Any feedback about best way to reach developer or any news about a possible fix would be very appreciated. I love this app, it is in my dock, mainly because of spell checking that's much more reliable than in iOS.

Hello
I have an iPhone 8 Plus and from time to time I make use of the MBraille app for writing using it's Piano Mode. Just wondering? Does there exist, somewhere out there, some kind of Braille keyboard one can fits over the phone screen? On a large phone like the 8 Plus I struggle to many times to get my fingers in the right posision. If I move only one finger a millimeter to the right or left I'm off target. LOL! I tried the other modes, but hate using them.

Hello
On my iPhone 11 I wrote text within the MBraille app. From the bottom of the screen I slided upwards with 1 finger and lifted my finger after the first vibration to go Home. I want to paste the text into Facebook and Whatsapp, but I can't get it right. Within MBraille's settings I do not get the option:
"Press Home to copy text automatically."
Can someone please help?
