Experiences with Yale Smart locks, IP cameras & Yale smart home app

2017-12-20 Thread Tea 

Hi everyone,
yesterday I won a Yale smart lock as a prize, now I'm thinking about 
buying an IP camera from the same company.
I'd like to ask if someone has experiences with these products? Is Yale 
smart home app accessible? Are smart living sollutions, in general, 
accessible for us?

Many thanks in advance and greetings from Croatia!
Kind regards, Tea Turkovic

Problem with Twitter notifications on the lock screen

2017-12-18 Thread Tea 

Hi all,

since iOS 11 came out, I noticed that VoiceOver doesn't announce the 
first username in Twitter conversations. It happens at the lock screen, 
when I get a twitter notification. I don't know which app version was 
actual in this periodI'd like to report this issue to Twitter developers.

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
list.

As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.14, released Saturday, December 16,
2017, VoiceOver users cannot activate URL, @, or # links located inside
tweets.

Please join me in reporting this issue.

The following is the review I posted in the App Store.  You are welcome to
use any or all of it in your feedback to Twitter:

Re: Please join me in asking Apple to make rotor options consistent again and to fix the delete rotor bug which they say is not a bug

2017-09-30 Thread Tea 
They have to keep in mind that many blind people around the world use 
Apple products for their business needs, and that's quite big reason why 
they should think about accessibility, not on productivity only. And one 
more important think, they need to pay attention which parts of the code 
make influence on accessibility and after that they can start to work on 
new features.



29.9.2017. u 23:19, Aleeha Dudley je napisao/la:

Guys,
Personally, I think this is a great addition to productivity. Yes, 
it’s a change that we must get used to, but I think it would make the 
power users of mail very happy. Now, they do need to solve some 
consistency issues, but I personally like it. It behaves as the app 
switcher did in iOS 10. Also, regarding the comment about restoring a 
deleted item, shake your phone, and you will, magically, have an “undo 
Trash” dialog box. If Apple isn’t allowed to change its OS, why should 
they pay attention to us at all? When we whine and complain about a 
change that could significantly improve productivity, why should Apple 
make its operating system more accessible and better for us?

Hello List,
There has been a fair bit of discussion on a change Apple has 
implemented in the Mail app whenit comes to using the rotor to delete 
messages. In the past and ever since Apple has introduced rotor 
actions, a marvellous invention, the behaviour of the rotor has been 
quite consistent.
Usually you check your Inbox, some messages you don’t even open 
before you want to delete them, others you might read and want to 
delete afterwards, no matter what, you would normally flick up once 
when ona message in the Inbox, this would put focus on the “Delete” 
option and now you simply double tap and the message is deleted.
This is the same in the Messages app, it works if you want to delete 
a Favourite in your Phone app, a recent call and you can use it in 
many other places.
After the message or whatever you are deleting has been deleted, for 
years the normal behaviour was that “Activate” has focus again. This 
of course makes sense because if you flick through the available 
options, “Activate” also tells you that it is the default option so 
of course you would expect that whatever you do focus returns to it 
so after you delete a message and if you now want to read the next 
message all you have to do is double tap and it opens up.
Now in IOS 11 Apple has decided that in the Mail app only the rotor 
should behave differently. Mind you if you go to your Inbox and flick 
through the available rotor options, when you get back to activate it 
still says “Activate, default”
However, if you flick up to delete and double tap to delete a message 
and then double tap again expecting you are going to open the next 
message in focus you are sadly mistaken. Apparently the term 
“default” doesn’t apply any more and all you just did is delete the 
next message. Oops, it was an important message you wanted to keep or 
reply to? Well, no problem, just back out of your Inbox, find your 
delete items, find the message and move it back to the Inbox, then 
back out of deleted items and go back to your Inbox. Why, thank you 
Apple, you just made my day, I didn’t count how many taps and flicks, 
scrub gestures and swipes this takes, but it’s of course ridiculous.
We all know how engrained keystrokes and by now taps and swipes 
become when you get used to something, it makes no sense to make 
“delete” the default action especially if it still says “Activate” is 
the default. I also wonder what’s next, what if Apple decides this 
should also be so in the Messages app? If you accidently delete a 
text message with important information like maybe the link to the 
boarding pass you just sent to your phone after checking in to a 
flight online then you can’t just tap, swipe and scrub for 30 seconds 
to get it back, it’s gone for good which is why allowing Apple to get 
away with this sets I think a dangerous precedent.
Looking at the issue from that perspective is concerning and I think 
it is one of these times when everybody and I really mean everybody 
even if you don’t use the Mail app on the iPhone should send a 
message toaccessibil...@apple.com 
asking that the default action which 
is “activate” is restored, it may not effect you this time, but maybe 
next time Apple changes something it will effect you and we need to 
speak up and let Apple know that we prefer a consistent, polished UI 
and experience over random and unexplained changes which make no 
sense to anybody. Come on Apple, Tim Cook and others point out at 
every keynote how Apple can do things others can’t because you have 
complete control over both hardware and software, you claim that your 
devices and software are superior because of the consistency in the 
UI often even when you go from iOS to Mac OS, TV OS and Watch OS so

Re: is the notification bug on lock screen still there

I tried to make it on my iPhone SE, but it didn't solve the problem.

I know this sounds strange, but try going into notifications under
settings and changing the setting for show previews. I had my iPhone 7
