I was able to use siri to order a ride with 'Call Uber' this stopped working and I found I then had to say 'get Uber'
This has now stopped working, and siri appears to think about it for a while and then tells me that I have to continue through the app.
I tried with Get me an Uber home (and I have got home as a place within the app) and it still doesn't work

Does anyone know if there is a different phrase that I have to use?

Hi I haven't used the uber app in a while,
since I have read here that the options to contact the driver split payment cancel rides etc have not been accessible.
I use that function all the time when I use to request uber.
I have asked uber customer service if it has been fixed but I was told it was submitted to there app devepers for fixing.
I believe they don't know the answer.
I was using lyft but now I don't know about that.
Thanks
Carlos

I read somewhere you can put the promo code assist in your uber app and it will tell the driver that you have a disability, and then I read somewhere else that it's a whole other uber option that will be available on your phone. Thinking it may have just been heresay, I entered assist on my phone and it accepted the code but I don't see a uber assist option. Is this a feature only available in select areas? Will it really tell the driver I have a disability?
Thanks.

Hello all,
Is there a known issue with the uber button in the blind square app? The issues I'm having is that it is either dimned or the ETA is incorrect. My uber app itself works fine and there's drivers in the area so I know it's not an issue with uber. The blind square app is up to date.
Thanks

I recently downloaded the new Uber Eats app and gave it a test run. The good news is, I was ultimately able to place an order for food and the food arrived in a very reasonable amount of time. The bad news is, I would not call the app voiceover friendly. In fact, I think it would be very challenging for anyone other than a expert level voiceover user to navigate. Has anyone else tried it?

It's carlos, have any of you used the Uber eats app question I just looked at it to try to order from McDonald's.

Hi all. I noticed when I'm in the Uber Eats app, I can't change the address to reflect where I am. Because I am in a condo complex, it naturally puts me a bit father then I am. Here's the problem. I can search and find my exact building number, as well as my condo number when I put it in. What i can not do is findout how to select it. If I double tap the button nothing seems to change. I've tried with voice over off, and i still can't.

Post Date:

I'm encountering a new bug with Uber Eats, where if I double tap a restaurant within a list of restaurants, it always opens the first restaurant in the list no matter which one I actually tried to choose. Say for example under the Today's Offers heading is Subway, then Pizza Hut, then Mcdonalds. Double tapping Pizza Hut or Mcdonalds will open the screen for Subway. This happens whether I swipe to or manually locate the restaurant I'm trying to choose.

Hi folks,
well the subject says it all.
When I learned of this offer I signed in to face book messenger,
but I can't get the uber part of it to work with voice over.I think we as blind people should have the same rights as everyone else to use that free ride credit.
Also I haven't used uber since I read here that the contact a driver option is inaccessible.
If anyone can tell me if that was fixed.
Also I belive lyft has fixed there app with this last new update after we emailed them.
Hopefuly.
Thanks
Carlos

I'm wondering which of these ride sharing apps people prefer and use most and why.

1. Which is more accessible using VoiceOver?

2. Which is easier to use in general - i.e., simplicity and useability of the UI.

3. Which service is better (if either) and why.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Hi all. I need to figure out something. I used Uber putting my address in as 123 Joe Dr. Obviously this isn't my address. But because it's a condo complex, and I was outside waiting, the person I was with was able to hail the driver. Now, I was told my pin was somewhere different then I. Keep in mind I was the only one waiting so I'm thinking they go by what their phone says, not visually, oh let's get that woman standing there. Now my question: How if I can, do I use the Center Map pin? I'd like to so someone can spot me if i'm alone.

Hi, I can not find the ubidisk server. I think the web site went down. Does anyone have a link to it on there dropbox or can you please post it? If you want, you can email it to [email protected] This is the server for windows that comes with the app. Ubidisk is a way to store files and share files from your Iphone and your computer. Thanks

I wondered if anyone has experience of the latest version of this app. There is a review on this site, but there appears to have been a number of version updates since that review. Being that it costs £3.99, I'd like to be reasonably certain it is still accessible, given that so many apps wind up being inaccessible following updates.

Hi all,So I've been using UK Siri female for ages and yesterday I was happily using my phone when it changed. I turned Voiceover off to allow my partner to look at some maps using my phone, but when it restarted the UK Siri female voice sounded markedly different. It doesn't sound like the compact voice, but it's annoyingly different in several ways. For example, it's a bit choppy now (so it will say insp ire instead of inspire, for example), it also pronounces phone as phoned and is generally irritating. I have no idea what to do to get the old voice back, or if this is even possible.

Hi, can anyone suggest a replacement Bus App for me as my favoured London Bus app apparently will not work with IOS11. I ham trying out Traveline GB and Bus Checker but nither of these are consistant in finding the nearest stops to me.
I suspect I may be missing something so if anyone has experience with these 2 alternatives can they advise me on how to focus them to find the nearest stops to where ever I may be at the time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to learn how to play ukulele, and I'm wondering if there are any accessible apps on ios that could help me with this? Lessons, tuners, etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Can anyone please help?
I frequently use the application ultimate guitar to find out guitar chords and lyrics which voice-over reads out excellently.
unfortunately, in the last week with a new update it refuses to read out any lyrics or chords as it has done before.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Sometimes, when using the on-screen keyboard to type into a text field with VoiceOver on, I am unable to switch to the numeric keyboard. When I tap the Numbers key, it seems to insert a space rather than switching keyboards. This can make it impossible to sign in to a website or app if I've used numbers or special characters in my userid or password. I have reported this to Apple. Have any of you encountered this?

using iOS 14, I tried accessing my passwords in native settings, and it claims that my passwords are empty, then I get bounced back into the main settings screen. Furthermore, I noticed, when trying to enter my password in Acorns, that it was not doing the password sound when you enter it in on the screen, but when I look at it, Voiceover is speaking what I entered out loud. Um, Okay? Anyone else noticing this?

Hello,
I'm trying to activate wy fy calling on my IPhone, I'm not able to do so because the check boxes that you have to check to agree to the terms will not work with voiceover. Is there a way around this?
Thanks
