  How to Turn on Detailed Voice Guidance for Vision Impaired Users in
  Google Maps

Image removed by sender. Woman with white can crossing a zebra crossing

/by Joe Lonergan/

Detailed Voice Guidance is not a new feature, but it is not well known 
and is hidden deep in the settings of Google Maps. If you are a fan of 
Google Maps, we think it is a good feature to turn on for a 
vision-impaired or blind user.


Detailed Voice Guidance expands the existing walking directions 
guidance with several extra elements. The directions are more 
proactive so that if you take a wrong turn, the vocal guide will tell 
you and find the best way to your destination from your new point. 
Along the way, it will tell you not only where to turn, but how far 
away it is and in what direction you are facing, and the vocal guide 
will also alert you before reaching busy intersections.


*So how do we turn on this detailed navigation feature?*

 1. Open Google Maps
 2. Navigate to Account and Settings, If you are a VoiceOver user you
will find it by flicking left and it is the first option you will
hear.
 3. While in here go to Settings.
 4. Now go to Navigation
 5. Flick to the right all the way down until you get to detailed
Voice Guidance and turn it on

We love to hear software companies adding features like this into 
universal or mainstream apps as it is easier to use one app to get 
most of your information and gives the user more freedom and confidence.


If you are a user of Google Maps and you have turned on this feature 
we would like to hear if you found the extra navigation voice cues 
help to get to your final destination or if you are a user of any 
other navigation or mobility apps like Soundscape or Apple Maps we 
would love to hear which you find best and why?


You can send a voice note to the Talking Technology WhatsApp number 
086 199 0011 and we can play it on the show.

$59 a year seems perfectly reasonable to me if you

Re: Have any hearing aid users here successfully paired two MFi hearing 
devices on an iPhone?

Thanks for that answer, Richard.

I'm hoping to get my PA (personal assistant) ON THE PHONE TO MY 
AUDIOLOGIST (OR a colleague team member -  WHEN HE ASSISTS ME NEXT WEEK.


I think my iPhone sees both my hearing aid and my CI, but it won't pair 
with both of them at the same time. (It pairs with one or the other).


The 'nuclear option' is to forget perhaps all of one's other Bluetooth 
devices' settings, and then forget your hearing devices, before turning 
off/restarting
Bluetooth, and one 'should' then receive - when next trying to pair 
one's hearing devices - two pairing requests. (I'm not looking forward 
to that!)

I tried a few years ago and needed an audiologist to help with setup. At that

activated for the hearing aids--which was often every few seconds--there were 
annoying spurious beeps. I called tech support for the hearing aid producer 
although they had no resolution. Neither did Apple support. Apparently there 
aren't enough hearing aide users who also use VoiceOver. They didn't seem to 
have any sense of urgency to resolve the problem. Aggravating!

I will try again in the next few weeks and I will report what I learn.

Have any hearing aid users here successfully paired two MFi hearing devices on an iPhone?

2023-09-29 Thread Flor Lynch


Hi,

Has anybody on this list successfuly added another hearing aid or device 
to an existing one on their iPhone, without the help of an audiological 
professional?
(If so, how did you do this? Did you need to forget all your Bluetooth 
devices and then turn off Bluetooth, and then turn on Bluetooth again 
and add in

your new hearing aid or aids this way?

Thanks.

I absolutely don't experience this, a short pause after the Siri tone works perfectly for me and

Hi

Since IOS 16 I’ve been having a terrible time with Siri not catching the 
beginning of what I say to it, no matter how long a pause I think I have left 
before I start speaking. However, I have discovered that if you say please 
before you tell Siri your request, it works every time.

Politeness, as they say, costs nothing:)

On an SE2022, you can get to the 4-digit choice on the screen after the

This same thing happens with other lists or things that are more

How can I expand or get more? Is there a voice over command for this?

in my contacts list.  I will say call person X & she will say what
do you want to know about person X.  This may happen several times
before I give up & open the contact to tap on the phone # to call
them.  Even funnier, I have a sister-in-law named Mickie who is on
my VIP contact list & is my ICE contact.  Today when I asked Ciri
to call her I got a web site telling me who Mickey Mouse was.
 This happened a couple of times.  I obviously have tried speaking
very clearly to no avail.  It is not the end of the world to have
to open the contacts to make a call but I’d rather have the
convenience of just saying call person.  Is anyone else having
this problem?*

Re: Worry About iPhone and Radio Streaming

2023-02-08 Thread Flor Lynch


Are you using WiFi? Check if it is enabled?

If you are, You could also, in an attempt to narrow down the issue with 
your phone, turn off Mobile Data to see over an interval of time, if 
that has any effect. .

Hi everyone,
Here's something I've begun noticing over the past three days
regarding my phone, and it concerns me.
When I try streaming different radio stations, my phone starts out
doing fine, but then it either pauses the streaming for a bit or it
completely stops as though it loses connection or something.
I've tried it with the OoTunes app first. Then, I went to TuneIn and
tried streaming a couple different stations and get similar results.
Right now, I am streaming one that isn't doing the pausing as much,
but it is still doing it some. It just did it as I typed about it.

I've tried this same streaming experiment on my iPad and don't seem to
have any issues there.
Any idea what could be happening on my phone?
I don't know if I could stream radio stations on my watch, as I've not
tried it. Again, so far, this has been with stations on both Ootunes
and TuneIn.
Pretty weird!

If anyone knows of such an app I sure would appreciate hearing about it.

This will depend on your email client. If you let us know which client

Greetings,

I’m sending this note to all the lists I’m subscribed to.

It dawned on me yesterday that with these lists being more and more 
international, it would be nice if folks put in their signature line 
what country they are in. I’ve often answered a question only to find 
out later, that my answer did not help because the person was in a 
different country.


So, I added USA after my name.

Hi,


Do you also have Kindle on your computer?

If you have Kindle on your computer, one thing you could do is see if 
the missing book is in your Library there, or, if you find it in the 
Kindle program itself (on your computer), sync the Kindle versions on 
your computer and iPhone.

respond when he turned it on. Neither turning up the volume, nor doing the 
three-finger double tap would fix it. He said the clicks he heard when touching 
the screen were not the clicks heard when speech simply had been turned off.  
He had to get a sighted person to enter his pass code before it would work. He 
is a good iphone user, he said that nothing he tried would get it to work. I

Because I had to try it to understand it, perhaps a little more detail.
Open the conversation.
Then, find the message you wish to delete and flick down to More; double tap; 
then in the lower portion of the screen, you should find a delete button, 
double tap, then you will need to double tap again on the delete message button.
Works rather slick.

Re: dugging query

2022-07-19 Thread Flor Lynch

If you're listening closely to music or other media content, with audio
ducking on VoiceOver can knock that down for a bit. It's a matter of
preference really, whether to have ducking on or not.

There may be times when you'll want it on, but other times you'll prefer
it off.

this gesture too unreliable. If it worked, I could turn on audio
ducking even if I couldn’t hear VoiceOver. Instead, I settled with
putting it in VoiecOver quick settings, which makes it tough to turn
on when the media volume is overwhelming VoiceOver.

I generally find it annoying if I'm listening to something like music
or a soundscape. Audio ducking is very drastic and lowers the volume
such that you'll be pulled out of any flow state. Sound scapes and
music are dropped in volume enough that you'll miss hearing things
other than VoiceOver. It depends on what you most value hearing at the
time. I wish there was a settting to control how drastic the volume of
other audio is ducked. Even better would be an ability to set the
relative volumes of things so VoiceOver was loud enough to always be
distinguished. It's an imperfect but at times useful tool..

On Sun, Jul 17, 2022 at 3:43 AM Sieghard Weitzel wrote:

If audio ducking is turned on it reduces audio playing so you can
better hear Voiceover.

For example, if you are playing music or a video and you want to
pause, change tracks or maybe you heard a notification come in and
you want to check what it is without stopping whatever is playing
then if you have audio ducking turned on it is much easier to hear
Voiceover because as soon as you use your phone and Voiceover is
talking the audio volume of whatever else is playing is reduced.
If you stop using Voiceover the audio volume is restored. I highly
recommend to turn it on, but that is of course my personal opinion
and I am sure others think it should be turned off.

Re: question how to stop my i pad and i phone saying the word soashel after some folders and before you flip to diffrentpages on the screen.

2022-07-17 Thread Flor Lynch

Apple does this automatically, based on the content inside the folders.
Thus, your social media content is categorised accordingly.

So, to prvent this automatic categorisation, you can rename each of the
originating folders and their subfolders containing social media
content; then move these folders into different places.

Those are the only VO gestures that Zoom impacts.

Hi Fanus,

I have two thoughts. First, especially if you are with the person, You could go 
to settings, accessibility, voiceover and go to the voiceover practice. Then 
the person could just practice to see if they can perfect the gesture.

If that doesn't work, the gesture could be changed to something easier by going to 
settings, accessibility, voiceover, commands, touch gestures. Once on that screen look 
for the "screen curtain" and single-finger double tap. Then you will get a list 
of all the voiceover gestures and you can choose the one that will work for the screen 
curtain. Probably the best one to use will be the back tap. On the screen with all of the 
gestures, the back tap area is pretty far down the screen.

I hope that helps!

Take care and stay safe!

Re: Battery pack for the SE 2020

It's a pity that these battery banks don't emit an audible tone or 
vibro-tactile indication when they are running low themselves. (I'd like 
to find one that does? In the manner that a hearing aid does when the 
battery in it is about to die. This would solve our problem with not 
knowing its current unaided power status.)

Double-tap with 3 fingers turns off Speech, not VoiceOver. (This matters 
to a Braille user, and in the event that you haven't got Screen Curtain 
on when others will be able to see your screen but you won't have access 
to it unless using Braille. I have often wondered why these two gestures 
are so akin to each other, but am not sure about a solution.)

I am a recent owner of an iPhone 13 Mini. I like the new screen
because turning on the screen Curtin significantly reduces battery
consumption. However, there’s a small problem. It seems there is a
conflict between the gesture for screen Curtin and voiceOver. When I
perform a three finger triple tap to turn on or off the screen Curtin,
voiceOver gets turned off.  Is there a way to reassign one of these
gestures to something else? When I press the side button to turn on
VoiceOver, I have ended up calling 911 twice.  Please help me leave
this quagmire.

Re: focus 14 with the Iphone

2021-11-13 Thread Flor Lynch

It'd be no harm to call or email Apple Accessibility on the issue,
mentioning that people with other Braille displays also experience the
lag issue in iOS15.1. They may not do anything immediately, but they
ought to know that it's a bug that needs addressing/fixing.

It's supposed to help the battery age better, so it'ds not something

Actually, I agree with you, and I think that American football has little to 
do with the feet, and the name should be changed.  The game we call soccer 
is called football in many countries.  The only thing that i don't like 
about it is that for a blind person, the game is very difficult to followl.

No, the owner of a Googlegroup can set it up with the groupname in the

I own a Googlegroup and when I was setting it up I found the option to add 
the groupname to the subject line of all outgoing messages. To make things 
simple for everyone, I decided then to add it. (Since one member had already 
complained to me about that lack when I was testing things out with starting

Subject: The magic fix to the iOS 14 Voiceover focus issue and all else 
which plagued me
Hi,

So, finally I am again a happy camper although I probably did not even have 
to do the complete erase and reset on my iPhone 11 and then setting up as a 
new device which I just did a few days ago hoping it would help fix some of 
the issues I had.

Here is a bit of background:

I bought an iphone 8 64 Gb two years ago and this year I did not participate 
in the iOS 14 public beta throughout the summer because I really needed my 
phone to work and could not take chances with strange issues. I finally 
upgraded about a week or two after iOS 14 was released in september and 
promptly regretted it when I experienced the many focus issues people were 
talking about.

I then recently took advantage of a pretty good promotion my provider 
offered on the iPhone 11 which already had iOS 14 on it when I received it, 
but all the issues were the same.

For one thing the Today View was broken, then there was the mildly annoying 
issue in the App Store where you had to swipe right twice if you want to 
install updates (the first time it seemed like Voiceover said "Update", but 
then focus would immediately jump back to the app description). And finally 
I was unable to share anything any longer unless it was by text or iMessage 
to one of the contacts which show up in the list of recently contacted 
people in the share sheet. As soon as I selected to share by Mail, WhatsApp 
or Facebook the following screen where the selected app would open was 
completely inaccessible with Voiceover typically stuck on Cancel or 
something like that.

Finally I had an issue which most others did not seem to have and that had 
to do with something very annoying when typing on the on-screen keyboard in 
most edit fields. What would happen is this:

Assume for example I open a message conversation and double tap on the edit 
field to reply to somebdy who sent me a text or iMessage (it did not matter 
which it was).

As soon as I double tap on an iMessage conversation field Voiceover would 
say this:

Message, text field is editing, iMessage, character mode, insertion point at 
start

Now assume I want to start by typing "Hello", so I type the upper case H and 
I hear Voiceover say the following:

Message, text field is editing, H, character mode, insertion point at end

I now type the "e" of the word "Hello" and hear Voiceover say:

Message, text field is editing, He, character mode, insertion point at end

I type the first l of Hello and Voiceover says:

Message, text field is editing, Hel, character mode, insertion point at end. 
This continues with the second l and finally when I type the final o I hear:

Message, text field is editing, Hello, character mode, insertion point at 
end

Next I put in a space and it again repeats:

Message, text field is editing, Hello, character mode, insertion point at 
end

You can see the pattern, each time I typed a letter Voiceover repeated the 
entire message about "message, text field is editing, character mode and 
insertion

point and in between it said everything I had so far typed.

This happened in most search fields and other edit fields, one place where 
it does not happen and Voiceover behaves as

it should is in the Mail app in the message body field.

Anybody who wants to hear what this sounded like ccan use one of the Dropbox 
links below, the first just plays the screen recording I made, the second 
allows you to first download it:

Screen recording to play from Dropbox

Screen recording for downloading from Dropbox

And here the solution. I had posted this to jonathan Mosen's beta tester 
list and a wonderful gentleman, Matt McCubbin, wrote the following:

I think you may have the Full Keyboard Access 
(Settings/Accessibility/Keyboards/Full Keyboard Access), setting enabled on 
your phone. This feature causes

focus issues and other conflicts with VoiceOver. I’m able to replicate your 
iMessage issue on my end when I have the setting enabled, and I’ve also 
spent

time troubleshooting the focus issues that result from running both features 
concurrently.

Hope this helps,

And did it ever help. I indeed had turned on this full keyboard access in 
accessibility settings since I came across it when I explored the settings 
after first downloading iOS 14 and it just seemed like it makes sense to 
turn it on if you use an external Bluetooth keyboard which I do from time to 
time. Who would think this one setting causes such havick. After I turned 
this off my text entry issue above just disappeared. I also don't have to 
swipe twice any more in the App

I'm not sure what I should look into more. The petition, which I did read, 
says nothing about someone installing a beta with a VoiceOver bug after they 
were warned not to by Apple. The petition just said that a public beta was 
made available but blind people using VoiceOver couldn't participate due to 
a VoiceOver bug. IMHO, if a public beta is made available to the sighted 
then it should also be made available to the blind. It seems pretty cut and 
dry to me.

Hi Christopher,

 You should read more into it,

 The person behind this idea did install the pb for watch os 7 to their 
primary

watch device and voiceover wasn't working

Apple do state that you shouldn't put a beta on to a primary device as it 
is a beta

and therefore may cause issues  that mean the device wont work correctly,

This person had to send their watch away to have it setup again and blaims 
this
all on appples attitude towards visually impaired users of there devices 
When it
really comes down to the users ignorance and not listening to apples 
suggestion.

I didn't see anything in the petition that said anyone went ahead and 
installed
the beta even after Apple warned that voiceOver users shouldn't install 
the beta.
The point of the petition, as I read it, is that Apple shouldn't exclude 
blind people

from participating in the public beta because of such a serious and known
VoiceOver bug. I myself do find a lot of petitions are frivolous and over 
the top,

but I don't have a problem with this one myself.

2020-08-16 Thread Flor Lynch

There's quite a difference between a public beta and a developers' beta. The 
original warning notioce was for a developer's beta, which came out one week 
BEFORE the PUBLIC beta was released. No change was made to improve the 
functioning of VoiceOver with Watch OS 7 during those seven days. Thus, 
blind beta testers of Watch OS7 are missing out on the opportunity to 
participate in Apple's Watch OS7 beta program, where they could report any 
other bugs. How often have we discovered, to our disappointment, that some 
features that worked well with previous iOS versions, were broken in the 
subsequent OS, even though they had been reported to Apple during the beta 
process for that OS?

I can't believe such a petition was started!!臘‍♀️ This petition was 
started because an Apple watch user went against Apple's WARNING to NEVER 
install beta versions of IOS on ANY Appple device that is YOUR main device! 
Of course, this person just HAD to have the beta update & installed the beta 
version on their Apple watch that they RELY on & USE daily!  Beta versions 
of any program WILL have bugs. The fact that Apple is a company that stands 
behind their products making them accessible for the blind & those with 
other disabilities, does NOT exclude Apple's beta versions of IOS from 
having bugs. Nor does this bug prevent those who are blind taking part in 
the public beta testing process. Apple was FULLY aware of the voiceover bug 
Associated with ALL Apple watches. And fully WARNED voiceover users with 
Apple watches of the bug. Apple also informed voiceover users that they were 
working on fixing the voiceover bug, so that voiceover users could 
participate in the public beta testing program. Placing the blame on Apple & 
criticizing Apple for a problem that they were working toward fixing, is 
wrong. The Blame solely lies with Apple watch user(s), who in their poor 
judgement decided to install the public beta on a device, in which is used 
daily.


It is very important that blind iDevice users participate in Apple's beta 
testing program, otherwise voiceover or low vision features of the iDevices 
would always have major bugs, making the iDevices unusable. Apple is a large 
company. The population that is blind & who use Apple products is very 
small. If this type of placing blame where it is obvious it does not belong 
& publically criticizing Apple for something that  at the time was out of 
their control, but Apple was working toward fixing: Apple is in the end 
going to do 1 of 2 things 1. No longer let blind users participate in the 
beta testing process. Apple can do this by stopping all public beta testing. 
2. Apple throws in the towel, giving up on trying to make their products 
accessible for such a small population of people. Neither of these scenarios 
are in the best interest of blind iDevice users.


When beta testing follow Apple's guidelines or otherwise DO NOT complain 
when your device stops working!

I don’t think the synthesizers have gotten more autonomous. Remember they 
used to be stand alone devices that were only connected to your PC through a

It’s the synthesizer that’s actually doing the speaking, not the 
screen-reader. The synths are now more human-sounding, and probably more 
autonomous (independent of the screen-reader) than they used to be. This has 
its downside, as you’re finding out.

It is unfortunate. I'd prefer if it were possible to correct the 
pronunciation in the voice's dictionary rather than just generally by

Re: Any good ShoutCast apprecommendations for iPhone?

2020-06-09 Thread Flor Lynch

However, that is true of a lot of radio stations, including the many that 
don't use ShoutCast. TuneIn is too large. There are apps for ShoutCast, but 
a lot of them are not completely accessible or are limited in their 
coverage.

Most of those stations can be found on the tune In app.  Also, the
stations usually have streaming facility from their website.

Re: How to end a phone call

2020-03-21 Thread Flor Lynch

The End Call button should be towards the bottom of the screen when you're 
in a call. That's where I find it on my iPhone and I can and do use it to 
end calls when done.

When I use Siri to initiate a call I find I cannot get a screen that
has an "end call" button. If I bring up the phone app it just shows a
screen as though I wish to use the keypad to call a new number. Is
there an elegant way of ending a call without having to shut off my phone?

Re: Help with Downcast?

2020-03-17 Thread Flor Lynch

What was the error message? I believe Overcast is a good alternative and is 
free, for the most part. You could import your podcasts from Downcast into 
it. There are a few other good podcatching apps as well.

Subject: Help with Downcast?
Hi everyone,

On my iPhone, I’ve been using Downcast for my podcasts for a long time.  A 
few days ago, I finished listening to a podcast, and I tried refreshing 
Downcast to download any new ones.  The next time I went back and ran 
Downcast, there was an error message and a question asking if I wanted to 
send an anonymous report about the error message.  Since then, I’ve not been 
able to listen to any podcasts, because Downcast always crashes.

I was thinking of erasing the app from my phone and redownloading it, but 
then I’d lose all of the podcasts I’ve not heard yet.

Does anyone know what could be wrong and if there’s an alternative answer to 
my situation?

When you compose a message it appears in the options in the same row (near

How do I get rid of Bump Bump Braille ?

2020-03-05 Thread Flor Lynch

Hi,

I was looking at braille-learning apps in the App Store, and although I know 
Braille I was looking at two apps from a learner’s point of view. One is 
called Bump Bump Braille Learn, and isn’t well written. No problem erasing 
that app. The second app is just called Bump Bump Braille and contains 
pictures of braille letters and numbers. That may be fine for a learner who 
can see the images of the Braille combinations, but not for a ‘newly blind’ 
adult learner seeking an app to assist in learning Braille.

Further, I have not found it anywhere except in my Messages app, as a place 
to share to, (like Dropbox). It’s not in my iPhone storage.

I don’t want it hanging around. Where on my phone can I find and rid myself 
of it? Anyone know?
Thanks.

Alex, it may not be "designed" to be a music player, but it can be used that

Re: Bookshare on the iPhone?

2020-02-25 Thread Flor Lynch

Yes, I believe that is possible. Regarding getting books (directly) from 
another country's Bookshare service, I think one isn't supposed to use the 
same account for Bookshare.org that's used for the other country's Bookshare 
service.

It is well worth the $15 price and is well supported on this and the

Hi Rebecca.  You should purchase the voice dream reader app for $15.
This will quickly become the best $15 you've ever spent.  Voice dream
reader allows you not only to listen to bookshare books, but audio
books as well.  You can also read other Ebook formats like .txt, or
.epub and also .PDF to name just a few formats.  You can use the IOS
voices to listen to your Bookshare titles, or you can purchase
additional high quality voices like those from Acapela, Ivona, or
Neospeech for only $5 per voice.  I have a few bookshare books on my
iPhone, but I've been reading some Ebooks in .txt format, and this
works beautifully with the Voice Dream reader app.

Re: Question about iPhone with focus 40 blue

2020-02-24 Thread Flor Lynch

Hello,
What have you tried in order to fix this? Whenever I’ve had that hproblem, 
and it’s been a while since I had it, a shutdown and restart of the phone 
has fixed it. Perhaps turning off and then turning VoiceOver on, may not be 
sufficient to solve it. It might have something to do with changing from a 
computer with USB to the phone with BT, (or vice versa,) with the display 
being on all the time.

The other possibility I thought of would be that the braille display’s 
keyboard could be locked, but AFAIK then none of its keys would work.

Subject: Question about iPhone with focus 40 blue
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could tell me why a friends Focus 40 blue will 
not work on his iPhone when using the cord commands.  The rocker switch and 
the little enter key on the right work, but if you use cord h for home or 
cord b for back or any cord commands it will not do anything.  Is there 
something we need to turn on in either the phone or the Focus?  Thanks for 
any help with this.

Re: Overcast on adding podcast URL and transferring from the Native Apple podcast app?

2020-02-12 Thread Flor Lynch

I haven’t done it, but for podcasts you already have, I think you might get 
a prompt during the import process, something like ‘this podcast feeds 
already exists. Do you want to replace it?’ Yes/No. The choice then would be 
yours.

Hi,
Are you sure you’re typing the URL in the correct field? I just tried it in 
OverCast, and I wasn’t asked for a username and password, got straight 
through to the shows.

The shows transferred into OverCast, won’t override those already present.

(Tek for this podcast is spelled with a k at the end. Thus, in searching for 
the podcast you would do better by typing, ‘Tek Talk Archives’.)

Re: Anyone using Dark Sky lately?

Yes I found it in the Irish App Store, so it probably would work in Ireland. 
(It didn't appear in the list of weather apps when I typed 'weather' into 
the search field. Though it did when I typed 'weather Gods', along with a 
few other apps that have 'Gods' in their name or description.

Flor: Weather Gods works in many places around the world. I don't know
exactly if there is support for Ireland, but you could look it up on
the App Store and see. The cost was about $4 or $5 US, don't recall.
If there are people who prefer Dark Sky over Weather Gods, that's
awesome. At least we have choices for accessible weather information
these days.

In answer to another person's question, I think the Weather Wheel is
like a 7 day forecast of conditions. I would also encourage those
interested to check out the AppleVis podcast on Weather Gods, which
was done back in 2016. You should be able to search for it in Safari
and listen through the browser.

Re: Anyone using Dark Sky lately?

2019-05-07 Thread Flor Lynch

I know that Weather Gods is highly rated by people at AppleVis, and has won 
a few accessibility awards. I'll take a look at it some time. Does it work 
in Ireland, where I am? And how much is it?

Subject: Re: Anyone using Dark Sky lately?

Have you considered switching to Weather Gods? This is another paid
weather app but works a lot better than Dark Sky. I used Dark Sky for
several years, but have noticed a drop off of notifications and
decreasing app quality lately. I bought Weather Gods a few weeks ago
and haven't looked back, even deleting dark Sky along with a few other
weather apps from my phone. Weather Gods is totally accessible, and
also gives a lot of customizable notifications about rain, wind, sun
rise/set, and a daily weather summary, along with quite a few more. I
learned from the developer that you can set it to "follow me" which
uses more battery since it keeps up with your location. Or, you can
just set it to use your location when using the app. I have mine set
that way. Notifications come straight from the various weather alerts
from NOAA and are not dependent on GPS location.  Finally, there are
weather related sounds for each weather event, like the sound of rain
and thunder for thunderstorms. This is one of the features that sets
Weather Gods apart for me from other weather apps.

Good luck,
Wayne

Hi,
Before you do that, you first set up an account in iTunes. The setup 
dialogue there will ask you for all of your contact details, including 
method of paymnent. (If a credit card, it will ask you for the usual details 
including Expiry Date and CVV (Security Code). Upon completion of the setup 
process, the details you provided will then be stored bvy iTunes, and 
henceforth will be used as necessary by your iOS device when purchasing apps

There are differences between how different outfits organise their music
