Hey guys,
I've had my iPhone 3GS for several months now and love it to death. I recently found this site, as well, and have been reveling in trying out accessible apps recommended. As the number of apps I have continues to grow, though, I've come up with a problem - disorganization. I thought - no problem, I'll just rearrange the icons like I've been told is possible on an iPhone.
To make a long story short ... I can't seem to figure out how to do this without having the ability to drag/drop with JAWS. Is there some trick to doing it without the drag/drop?
iOS and iPadOS

I have a stack of 4 widgets and I want to rearrange the order they are in. You use to be able to just do a double tap and hold and drag the widgets to rearrange, but in ios 15, this seems not to work for me. Any tips or help with this would be appreciated.

Hi,
So far I've held off updating my iPhone15 pro to IOS18. However I recently bought an iPad pro running the latest OS and so far it has been a good experience.
However as the phone is my main driver I thought I'd just ask is there any good reason for still holding off updating?
Many thanks for any guidance or advice offered.
Regards
Graham

I want to assign a different finger gesture to the Item Chooser. The only app that seems to have it is BARD. Many times, when I double tap to pause the reading, the Item Chooser opens, instead.
I’m about to pull my hair out. How do I move the Item Chooser to the four-finger single tap?
I have an iPhone 8 running 16:1.

Seems like it should be a really simple thing to do but I can’t figure it out, call Apple Support and they suggested top of container/bottom of container but that’s not quite it.
If anyone knows how to do this/what the gesture assignment is called please let me know

By accident, I came across an app called Rebokeh. (Free at time of posting) It’s an assistive app for those with visual impairment. By pointing your phone at signs, menus etc, you can adjust the screen to enhance what you’re looking at, by adjusting colour, contrast etc.
I’ve used apps that read the text, but they tend to read superfluous stuff as well, plus everyone around me is subjected to the narration.
I’m severely visually impaired and when I first saw the demo video, I thought meh! Don’t know how it would help me.

I just upgraded to a new iPhone XR.
I am confused about how to use the emergency calling feature versus rebooting the phone when using VoiceOver.
Apparently if one holds down the power button while simultaneously holding down one of the volume buttons the phone will either reboot or call emergency services. How do I make sure that I don't accidentally call emergency services when trying to reboot the phone when I'm using VoiceOver?
I'm surprised there would be a single method for doing both very different actions.
--Thanks.

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation. I'm having difficulty using my Braille Sense Plus as a display with it, even though I've done so before. I'd like to reboot my iPod. I've tried holding the home button and power button down at the same time for 30 seconds, but the iPod is not rebooting. I don't want to lose my settings. I've tried holding just the power button down as well, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks!

Good day, I do not get notified on my Iphone 6S when there is a Ios update available? How can I activate this feature? I have tried Google, and, no matter how I phrase the question it gives me about 100 ways to deactivate update notifications but not 1 to activate it!
Would appreciate some info.

I'm considering buying an iPhone with only a data plan. Can I get a phone number at a low cost that people can use so I can still receive calls? I guess I'm thinking I'm wanting something like the Magic Jack for the iPhone.

I have a IPhone 4, when the last upgrade came. Now I can not save pictures when are send via text with voice over on. Once I take the voice over off then a sighted person can save the picctures into the camera roll.
How can I save pictures with voice over on when they are send in a text?
Any suggestions?

I installed the alex voice, used it for a bit, decided I did not want it and went back to fred. I then deleted the alex voice, but it seems to keep coming back. before i installed alex i had 7.2gb storage used. now that alex was installed and deleted it went up to 8.1gb storage used. how do i get back my 1 or so gigs of storage that alex took up? I thought i deleted alex but when i choose it alex still talks like it was not deleted and comes back on its own. do i have to just reset the ipod touch to permanently get rid of the alex voice?

Hello,
My bank's mobile app has some accessibility issues on iOS. One of them is the fact that the list of transactions is not read correctly by VoiceOver. Instead of reading the displayed data for each entry (e.g. date of the transaction, sum, etc.), VoiceOver reads a consecutive number for each next entry (e.g. 0 for the latest, 1 for the next, 2 for the one after that, etc.).
Each transaction entry is treated by VoiceOver as a separate object.

Hi, All,
I am a heavy VoiceOver user on iPad running iOS 9.
I used to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to read pdf files. It was quite good with VoiceOver. But last week, I was stupid enough to update the app to its latest version. To my dismay, the new Adobe Acrobat Reader is no longer compatible with VO. No mater what gestures I tried, VO just doesn't read the texts any more.

I'm thinking of starting a podcast to aid my business. Can anybody recommend their favourite app for creating and hosting podcasts and uploading them to Spotify? I know plenty about recording them but I need them to be on Spotify so an app which can do that would be amazing.
Thanks all!

Hi all,
I've just added a new feature to the site that enables registered users to indicate the apps that they would recommended to other VoiceOver users.
When viewing an app in the App Directory you will now see how many AppleVis users have recommended that app. Registered users will also see a link they can click to recommend the app.
You will also have the option to recommend an app when submitting it to the App Directory.

I'm looking for an accessible forum app. I want to subscribe to forums and use Applevis with it. Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks, Jürgen
