Sounds like the bug in Fleksy makes using it absolutely pointless isn't the 
whole idea of having it work in all apps so you do not have to toggle between 
apps to use it? Why in the world would I want to toggle VoiceOver on and off to 
use it. I usually upgrade right away but hearing about the dialing phone 
numbers, scrolling issues and clicking on things not working it really sounds 
quite awful and that Apple did for lack of a better phrase a piss poor job of 
VoiceOver in IOS 8, and please don't give me the we should expect bugs in a 
first release as I don't think Apple would release a version of IOS where 
sighted people couldn't dial phone numbers or properly scroll. Major 
disappointment.
