Accessible Crosswords App

2013-07-04 Thread Jane
Hey, all. Maybe you all know about this, but I am behind on Twitter and I only 
just saw it.

Here is a link (I only have one for the US) for a totally VoiceOver friendly 
and accessible crossword puzzle app. I am playing it right now on my iPad mini. 
Going to see if I can play it on my first-gen iPad. It's $0.99 right now. The 
link is:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/four-down/id655212651?mt=8

I am serious. I am having fun trying to fill in the clues. It's very easy to 
do. This doesn't mean I am good at it, but I am having such fun I don't care.

Jane

Hi. I'm the developer of Four Down.

Jane, I just wanted to say thank you for posting about my app. I'm 
delighted to hear that you've been enjoying it.

Thanks to the request from Keith among others, I've been working on an 
iPhone version. I'm pleased to say that it was released today. The iPhone 
version should, I hope, prove to be just as accessible with VoiceOver as 
the iPad version. If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear your 
feedback and any suggestions for improvements that you may have.

Thanks again for your interest in Four Down.

Andy

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-08-22 Thread Andy Wilkinson
Hi Christopher,

Thanks for getting in touch, and for your kind words about Four Down.

Unfortunately, the problem that you're seeing is a bug with the VoiceOver 
support. It's showing the new puzzle on the screen but is unfortunately still 
announcing the clues from the previous puzzle. Please accept my apologies.

The good news is that I've submitted a fix to Apple: I'm just waiting for it to 
be reviewed and then it'll be available to you. In the meantime, closing the 
app using the app switcher (double-tap the home button to access it) and 
opening it again will allow you to tackle another puzzle.

Regards,
Andy

Wow Andy, thanks for being so responsive and considerate of accessibility. I am 
off to buy your game right now. 

If we want to help ourselves and promote accessibility, we should all consider 
purchasing apps from Authors like Andy, who are so responsive to accessibility. 

Cheers,

2013-08-22 Thread Tom Lange
Hi Andy et al,
Thanks for your note regarding this issue, as I was curious about why I was 
still seeing clues for puzzle 1 after opening puzzle 2, for puzzle 2 after 
opening puzzle 3, et cetera. I've noticed this too, and my solution for now is 
just to close Four Down, then take it out of the app switcher, then restart.

BTW, I really like this app and am looking forward to the update. Keep up the 
good work!

Tom

  Hey, all. Maybe you all know about this, but I am behind on Twitter and I 
only just saw it. 

  Here is a link (I only have one for the US) for a totally VoiceOver 
friendly and accessible crossword puzzle app. I am playing it right now on my 
iPad mini. Going to see if I can play it on my first-gen iPad. It's $0.99 right 
now. The link is: 

  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/four-down/id655212651?mt=8 

  I am serious. I am having fun trying to fill in the clues. It's very easy 
to do. This doesn't mean I am good at it, but I am having such fun I don't 
care. 

  Jane

OT, but related:  any mileage in Scrabble?  it works the same except you 
make up all the words. I could make an online version of that, but not this

Hi Andy et al,
Thanks for your note regarding this issue, as I was curious about why I was 
still seeing clues for puzzle 1 after opening puzzle 2, for puzzle 2 after 
opening puzzle 3, et cetera. I've noticed this too, and my solution for now 
is just to close Four Down, then take it out of the app switcher, then 
restart.

BTW, I really like this app and am looking forward to the update. Keep up 
the good work!

Tom

  Hi Christopher,


  Thanks for getting in touch, and for your kind words about Four Down.


  Unfortunately, the problem that you're seeing is a bug with the VoiceOver 
support. It's showing the new puzzle on the screen but is unfortunately 
still announcing the clues from the previous puzzle. Please accept my 
apologies.


  The good news is that I've submitted a fix to Apple: I'm just waiting for 
it to be reviewed and then it'll be available to you. In the meantime, 
closing the app using the app switcher (double-tap the home button to access 
it) and opening it again will allow you to tackle another puzzle.

  Andy

Yes, Andy, it's a great app and I'm enjoying it. I haven't minded thebug too 
much myself and have worked around it in a similar way to others, but will look 
forward to the fix, of course.

I have a bit of trouble in correcting a word I have put in, if there has been a 
letter missed out, etc. It is probably user error and there is a good way to do 
this, so perhaps you could explain the easiest way to correct an entry already 
added.

If you tap on the clue with the mistyped word, then in the next screen 
you can flick right or left, double tap on the letter to slect it, and 
hit the delete key.  Flick back to the black now, selectit with double 
tap, input the correct letter, and then double tap done and it is fixed.

I have found that if you close Four Down by removing it from the App Switcher,

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-08-23 Thread Tracy
Hi Andy
Thanks, I was going to ask the same question as Christopher, but closing it in 
the app switcher does the trick.
I enjoy Four Down thoroughly. I have often wished I could sit and fill in 
crosswords, and now I can. :-)
Kind regards
Tracy

  Hi Christopher,


  Thanks for getting in touch, and for your kind words about Four Down.


  Unfortunately, the problem that you're seeing is a bug with the VoiceOver 
support. It's showing the new puzzle on the screen but is unfortunately still 
announcing the clues from the previous puzzle. Please accept my apologies.


  The good news is that I've submitted a fix to Apple: I'm just waiting for it 
to be reviewed and then it'll be available to you. In the meantime, closing the 
app using the app switcher (double-tap the home button to access it) and 
opening it again will allow you to tackle another puzzle.


  Regards,
  Andy

All, I just wanted to let you know that version 2.0.1 of Four Down is now 
available in the App Store. It should fix the problem with the VoiceOver 
announcements that was discussed above. You'll no longer have to mess 
around in the app switcher when you want to move on to the next puzzle. 
Apologies once again for the inconvenience. If you find any other problems 
please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them.

Thanks for all of the great feedback and suggestions.

Thank you!
I bought your app the other day when I saw it was an accessible crossword app.
I look forward to trying it.

Thanks for fixing it I couldn't figure out why it looked like I only had one 
crossword but were way more available.

Are there ever themed crosswords like birding, Bible, gardening, flowers, food, 
cats,  and so on ?

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-08-29 Thread Tom Lange
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the heads-up regarding the update.

Here's a suggestion for you.  When you review the clues for a word, VoiceOver 
will tell you if letters are filled in,  as in
1 across: cat (8 letters)

C blank blank s 4 blanks 

which is fine, but when you double tap on the clue and start filling it in, 
VoiceOver won't identify whether a particular letter is already filled in.  
Would there be a way to get VoiceOver to identify a filled edit field so that, 
for example, when I get to the 4th letter it would tell me that the 4th letter 
is an S?  

Just wondering if that's possible.
BTW, the answer to the example above is 

Cheshire

  All, I just wanted to let you know that version 2.0.1 of Four Down is now 
available in the App Store. It should fix the problem with the VoiceOver 
announcements that was discussed above. You'll no longer have to mess around in 
the app switcher when you want to move on to the next puzzle. Apologies once 
again for the inconvenience. If you find any other problems please let me know 
and I'll do my best to fix them.


  Thanks for all of the great feedback and suggestions.

RE: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-08-29 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hi Andy, 

 

I am thoroughly enjoying crossword puzzles once again. I am hoping to
involve other family members in the process. Tom had a great suggestion with
VO announcing the letters that have already been filled in. Sometimes, I
need to go back to the clue to hear if there are any letters filled in and
the number of blank spaces left. I'm looking forward to moving onto the next
puzzle and challenging my brain some more. 

 

Thanks for creating an accessible crossword puzzle app. 

 

Best, 

Eileen

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-09-01 Thread Andy Wilkinson
Hi,

Often you'll know if you've got an answer correct as it'll fit properly with 
the letters from other words. However, if you're not sure, then you can get 
Four Down to tell you. When you're answering a clue, there are buttons for 
checking or filling in an individual letter or the whole answer. When you're 
not answering a clue, there are buttons for checking or, if you really want to, 
filling in the whole puzzle. With VoiceOver enabled, Four Down will announce 
whether or not there are any incorrect letters, and if there are it will tell 
you where they are.

Hi Desi,

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I plan to add more puzzles in the future. I'm 
working on some at the moment, along with some VoiceOver improvements and 
support for iOS 7.

If you're enjoying Four Down and have a spare moment, I'd be most grateful if 
you could rate or review it on the App Store.

Thanks again,

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-09-02 Thread Andy Wilkinson
Hi Desi,

Thanks very much. I'll do my best to explain the steps.

You can rate an app in iTunes on your computer, or using the App Store app on 
your iPhone or iPad. I'm going to assume you're using an iPhone. Please let me 
know if that's not the case and I can have another go.

Open the App Store app. You now need to switch to the Search tab. VoiceOver 
will get you there eventually by swiping, but there can be a lot of content on 
the screen so it may take a while. It'll probably be easier to find it by 
dragging your finger around the screen. The Search tab's at the bottom, where 
tabs usually are. Double-tap to switch tabs as you usually would. On the search 
screen there's a search field near the top of the screen. If you search for 
Four Down it should be the first hit. Swiping will get you to a heading called 
Four Down. Double-tap. Swiping will then get you to Reviews. Double-tap again. 
Swiping will then get you to a "Write a Review" button. Double-tap again to 
open the screen for rating the app. You may be prompted for your Apple ID 
password at this point. On this screen there's an adjustable rating where you 
can swipe up or down with a single finger to set the number of stars from one 
to five. Once you've done that, there's a submit button in the top-right.

I hope my explanation of the steps is helpful. It's my first attempt at 
explaining it to a VoiceOver user so apologies if it's not up to scratch.

Thanks again,
Andy

 All, I just wanted to let you know that version 2.0.1 of Four Down is now 
 available in the App Store. It should fix the problem with the VoiceOver 
 announcements that was discussed above. You'll no longer have to mess 
 around in the app switcher when you want to move on to the next puzzle. 
 Apologies once again for the inconvenience. If you find any other problems 
 please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them.
 
 Thanks for all of the great feedback and suggestions.
 
 Andy

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

Hi Andy,

That was a perfect explanation, and I just finished both rating the App and 
writing a brief review.  I would like to encourage all other users of Four Down 
to do the same!  The process was very accessible and friendly!

Thanks again for a really fun App!  My husband and I just completed Puzzle 18 
this morning!

Desi

RE: Accessible Crosswords App

2013-07-04 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
Neat. Thanks. Looks like it for iPad only, and not iPhone. I've sent a note to 
the developer to see if it would be possible to get an iPhone version.

Subject: Accessible Crosswords App

Hey, all. Maybe you all know about this, but I am behind on Twitter and I only 
just saw it.

Here is a link (I only have one for the US) for a totally VoiceOver friendly 
and accessible crossword puzzle app. I am playing it right now on my iPad mini. 
Going to see if I can play it on my first-gen iPad. It's $0.99 right now. The 
link is:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/four-down/id655212651?mt=8

I am serious. I am having fun trying to fill in the clues. It's very easy to 
do. This doesn't mean I am good at it, but I am having such fun I don't care.

Jane

Re: Accessible Crosswords App

2014-04-11 Thread andy
Hi, all. I hope I'm not breaching the group's etiquette by bumping this 
rather old topic but I just wanted to let you know that I've just released 
an update to Four Down that adds a feature that a number of VoiceOver users 
have asked me for. They were looking for a way to make it easier for them 
to build up a mental picture of the grid. To help with this, I've added a 
setting that you can turn on to have the locations on the grid described 
using rows and columns. For example, with the setting enabled, it will say 
"Row 1, Column 2. 1 across" rather than just "1 across".

For the really keen puzzlers among you, the update also adds the option to 
buy a further 24 puzzles via in-app purchase.

I hope you're continuing to enjoy Four Down. Please let me know if there's 
anything more I can do to improve the app.

Thanks,
Andy
