iOS and iPadOS

Post Date:

For years, I have been looking for an iOS app that would allow me to have inteligent/smart crossfading. Remember Muxica? It tried and did all right, allowed for local music library. That app went away years ago.
Now . Meet IHeart Radio. which allows for near perfect A-I transitions, (much like Stationplaylist or terestrial radio listening)
And what's better ? It uses IHeart's streaming music service to pull tracks from, so you can have most any track available.
This is as close to the real track transitions deal, on iOS, as it currently gets.

hi all, so for those who use speechify, particularly in the UK, you can make now, it is in beta, your own voice in 15 seconds! you just read a small 4 sentence or so phrase and done! now i can share any article say, from google news, or apple news to Speechify and have myself read it. i will record a brief demo. It's amazing to hear it if i am honest. The other voices in Speechify, particularly the UK ones and nigeria for me, sound great! but my question is how is that voice so clear yet the apple personal voice is so tinny?

Hello all
Does anyone know if the personal voice will work outside of the United States of America?

I live in the United Kingdom and as far as I know the only language I can select is English United States this would not really work for a British person as of course we have different accents and anyone tried this outside of the US.

Thank you,

Will

Hi everyone,
In I O S 10, 10.02, the personalized ringtones are not working. They look selected, they play while selecting them, but when the contact is calling there is always only the default ringtone playing. Any clue? Thanks a lot.

How many of us here have downloaded an app that is not accessible with Voice over? I bet 99.99% have done that, right? Although we have the AppleVis web site to see if a certain app is accessible or not, it is still better to have the freedom to explore the app store without the thoughts of taking the risk of losing our money, right?

Hi, how accessibile is the Philo app? Thanks.

Very often when I unlock my phone, the phone app gets launched. I thought this was only happening to me but I've just read another blogg post on this site where its been mentioned. I am using IOS 5.1.1. Is there any fix for this annoying problem?

Hi, I have an iPhone xs. When I'm on phone calls and need to access the keypad or another feature like mute or speaker, the app runs incredibly slowly. For example, I had to dial into a conference call recently that asked you to enter in a pin to join. I had a really hard time entering in the pin on the phone keypad in a short enough time that it didn't time out. Any ideas how to get around this? Thanks.

For many years and iOS versions I’ve noticed that my phone will occasionally not fall asleep though the auto lock is set to 3 minutes and I would powered off and on the phone or do a hard reset to start things working again properly.
Just recently with the release of iOS 15 I noticed that when this happens if I triple tap the home button to turn voiceover off then triple tap again to put VoiceOver on low and behold the sleeping with auto lock works perfectly until the next time!

Hey all, I was brouzing through my phone's settings and saw something in the phone section called 'TTY'. What is this for and what does it change with how the phone works, if anything? Thanks, Joseph

I recently updated my SE 2022 from iOS 16.7.2 to 17.2.1. Ever since then I've been having the following strange and annoying issue. I normally keep my phone locked. Sometimes, but not every time when a notification of any kind comes in, Voiceover starts reading it but then the phone goes back to sleep before the whole thing can be spoken. The speech cuts off in the middle of a word and the "screen locked" sound is played.

I have an SE running iOS 18. Earlier today, I tried to make a phone call, and Siri said something like cannot find a connection. I have never run into that before. After a lot of searching, the website for my carrier told me what to do. go to settings, cellular, and find cellular data. Turn that off and back on. Also, if you have a setting that says something like use this line, turn that off and back on also. That seemed to reset things, and everything is working fine now.

I have an IPhone SE running ios11.26. My phone is constantly switching to the speaker phone while on a call. What happens is it makes the lock sound and will go on speaker phone and I have to press the home button and raise the phone back to my ear to get it off speaker. I've had this issue off and on for a while now but seems to be getting worse. I've tried a backup and a restore with the same problem. I've also cleaned the sensor and the area around it. Could this be a hardware problem?

Hello. I updated to IOS 7 last week and my phone went back to its locked carier. Well, let me give you some background on the problem.

I brought a phone, IPhone 4s from sprint last year. The bill got to be too much, So I had sprint turn my service off. I flashed my phone to T-Mobile, but wasn;t satisfied with them. I then asked Att if I could get a sim card from them and nuse my phone. they said yes. Now the problem comes in. I downloaded IOS 7 and now my phone is not working. It keeps saying that it is on the Sprint network, but I have an ATT sim card inside the phone.

Not really anything aggravating to me, but I'm wondering about this. Since updating to iOS 17, my phone occasionally appears to already be awake when I press the side button, which makes it make the door bolt sound and puts it to sleep, or locks it, or what ever it's called.

Hi. Since IOS8.3 came out I've found it often hard to swipe in many apps. Usually I can feel the items beneath my finger if I explore by touch but swiping seems not to allow me to move around the whole screen. Almost as if I'reached the bottom of the screen. It seems worse in IOS8.4 and I'm finding sometimes even explore by touch isn't working fully. I did wonder if my screen was faulty but I thought someone else on here said they were having similar issues. If anyone is having this probelm could you let us know on here please.

I have an iPhone 8 running 13.2. I've noticed that the phone won't ring if the number is not in my contacts list. The only way I know about it is by a notification. It rings normally if the number is in contacts. Also, I never hear a sound when I get a text. I only find it through a notification. What could be the problem?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has used the PhoneFlicks app to manage their Netflix account. I am wondering how to log into my Netflix account within the app? Also, I would love it if one of our next podcasts could be on how to use the regular Netflix app successfully with VoiceOver.
